Recent graduate Jim Tierney (whom we’ve featured on Faceout Books) has had a busy first month at Penguin, it seems. Check out his blog for a rundown.
Don’t let this escape the “daily-dose-of-inspiration-right-before-you-get-coffee-but-after-you’ve-checked-your-email” part of your day. Simply incredible. Those students and faculty at BYU have a lot to be proud of.

The Hoverboard is real! Someone call Marty McFly, and tell him we’ve found his board.
Thanks to @pieratt for the heads up.
This is my favorite music video, ever. Jónsi’s (formerly of Sigur Rós) music, already cinematic in scope, is paired perfectly with this kind of artistic film. arni & kinski directed this video, along with Sigur Ros’ Glosoli.
This is by far the coolest typographic sequence I’ve ever seen in motion, from German motion artist Sebastian Lange. I’m inspired/shamed/excited/awed/humbled all at once. It also proves that Helvetica still kicks ass.
Enjoy more of his work here.
South Asian Book Covers
These are definitely worth a look. From ephemera assemblymen:
This is a dual post with Will, from the great A Journey Around My Skull. All of these magnificent covers come courtesy of Quinn Dombrowski’s impressive South Asian books project, in which she photographs book covers from the “PK” section (Indo-Iranian languages and literatures) of the University of Chicago’s Regenstein library. See more covers at her blog, Women, Snakes and Stalkers, and at her flickr. And be sure to view Will’s picks here.
Thank you to @weetstraw, @Coudal, @posteroffensive who first linked me to Women, Snakes and Stalkers.
