uwe’s links #3

yet another series from uwe’s bookmarks, an interesting looking german art book project (no idea what it’s about) with a very bizarre title… some illustrative design from paris-based design studio super cinq

and from the UK the tart card project with an unexpected contribution (and letter) from mike dempsey

…I?m sure will not fit comfortably with all the typographical wit that no doubt both you and St Brides were hoping for, but I do hope you will feature it to help give a voice to the many women enslaved in this sinister world.

google street view

I can seek out postcard-perfect shots that capture what Cartier-Bresson titled ?the decisive moment,? as if I were a photojournalist responding instantaneously to an emerging event.

this great little article is worth a read/look (tip via ‘photoq’)

some very ‘shepard fairey’-like work from studio number one but then again… it is shepard fairey’s studio, that might explain it

not a girl’s name, a book about art

how many business areas do you know, where people who are (in theory) each others competitors send each other work, just because they like to share it? not many i would guess, so many thanks to the very friendly ‘arthur herrman’ from utrecht-based agency kummer and herrman who sent me a copy of a beautiful new book ‘JET’ (junior editorial team) which they have just completed, very nice indeed

it really needs to be felt to appreciate it properly but the book combines a wide variety of paper types and materials which really compliment the subject of the book, as soon as i can think of something nice enough to send back, it’ll be in the post arthur!
