Ah, I just love good Blackletter type. There is a big difference between good blackletter and bad blackletter, trust me. This specimen is from I Love Typography, a wonderful site that serves as an authoritative introduction to typography.
One of the better blog experiences to be had: A Journey Round My Skull. I never get bored looking at this stuff…
Don't Mess With the Iron Penguin…
Charles recently pointed me towards the amazing 1/6 scale artistry of Kow Yokoyama. With an obsessive attention to detail, Kow turns the stock white toys (pictured above on the left) into bad-ass pieces of mechanical warfare. View more pieces after the jump.
Homo Ferratus is a blog dedicated to Kow’s work. Check it out here.
Tim's Cousin Takes Great Photos
Tim Green’s cousin Molly Winn takes some nice shots, sure, but what I really appreciate about her work is the in the moment-ness she captures. All of her shots feel candid and honest. View more pictures after the jump. Also, the above picture is Tim’s son Silas, and his cousin James.
You can visit Molly’s blog here.
Let’s all enjoy these Star Wars Travel Posters, by Justin Van Genderen. In the repressed, fanboy part of my brain, there is much rejoicing. If only flights were currently being booked. You also might like these.
Thanks to Garrett Murray for the heads up.
We go through a lot of music in the studio, and Pandora has been invaluable in keeping the music fresh and varied. In fact, we love Pandora so much that we’ve started our own Faceout Pandora Station. Feel free to tune in!
p.s. you have to be logged in to Pandora to use it. But isn’t that the point?
There are not a lot of albums where I like every song, but I LOVE every single song on Wolfgang Amadeus by Phoenix. Good beat, different sound in each song, and nice instrumentals in the middle of the album.
Jim Tierney makes us all jealous over at Faceout Books. See sketches, commentary, and more at this weeks post: http://faceoutbooks.com/#267967/Jules-Verne-Series
John Keatley is a great photographer I became aware of while procuring a fancy graphic design degree at Seattle Pacific University. John used to do photography for various university events, but he also does some high-profile celebrity and editorial shoots.
He’s also got a great blog that gives insights into the daily happenings of a Seattle photographer. It’s worth peeking at.
If anyone out there is creating a master list of enviable illustrators, PLEASE don’t forget Meg Hunt. It’s like browsing the eye-candy aisle at some kind of illustration supermarket. Pardon my terrible analogy……
