interesting essay by designer richard niessen on the design scene in holland now and then… it is only in dutch (and also very particular to the local situation)
me news
self promo
a self-promo idea from a photographer that takes narcissism to a whole new level…
it reminds me of a similar idea from local agency resoluut, which i find much nicer due to the fantasy element they introduced by making themselves into fictive superheroes…
old stuff for free
in a similar move to the amsterdam’s rijksmuseum recently (and many other institutes) the british library has published over one million images from their collection online, free for personal use… largely consisting of book etchings/illustrations and victorian curiosa
see also this guardian opinion piece on the collection and what is missing from it
