me studio

this poster by ‘ian wright’ is a tribute to ‘scarface’ and is composed entirely of badges, very nice, see the whole expo
here on a flickr set (link via ‘qbn’)

this one designed by dutch collective 75b has caused a stir in breda at the ‘graphic design festival’ because it features controversial dutch politician ‘gert wilders’ in a pastiche of the H&M campaign, apparently it is being added to the museum’s collection, very odd, surely these kinds of pastiches are a bit old hat by now?

i couldn’t find a credit on this one, but i think it’s very effective, for a saturday morning classical music matinée, nice

i just came across this big rocket, it is for the european space agency and is recruiting personnel, it would appear to be a genuine poster for the ‘esa’, although i’m not sure…

lex reitsma’s latest opera poster, beautiful

i was just checking the work of brazilian architect oscar niemeyer it’s still incredible to see his work, even just online…

most architecture tends to look better on the ‘artist’s impression’ drawings than when it’s finally realised (at least often it does) with him it’s the other way round, i would love to see some of these buildings for real one day…

the leather & bent rosewood lounge chair he designed for the communist party (really) is also very unusual and apparently very rare, i think it’s very odd and very beautiful…

this is the site of japanese artist eiko ishizawa who visited ‘me studio’ last week, that bear looks very scary…

the man with the most impeccable taste in spectacles (if you ask me) has passed away, r.i.p. yves saint laurent…

i have just got hold of a series of the ‘jubileum’ postage stamps designed by koeweiden postma which i was very interested in seeing, especially as my own stamp design is being issued in a few months time, i’m still not allowed to show mine but here are some images of theirs… i must admit it is not at all what i expected from them… very illustrative and almost devoid of typography (in the main design at least)
