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.

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.

Superhuman Proofreaders
  • Michel Vrana: I admire the eye of the proofreader who can see an italic comma that should be roman. Wow.
  • Nate Salciccioli: I've also had an italic 'period' pointed out to me, which just doesn't make sense...
  • Michel Vrana: It's the italic spaces that really impress me.

Want some?

Want some?

We made blood in the studio yesterday. I can’t tell you why. All I can tell you is that it tasted a lot like Corn Syrup, Cocoa Powder, and red/blue food dye. Mmmmm boy….

We just got another project back in the mail; the nice folks at Algonquin were nice enough to send us a few copies of each of the books we’d designed for them last season. It was a really nice surprise!
The Girl Who Fell From the Sky was designed and illustrated by the very talented Connie Gabbert. You can see more pictures on our Flickr Stream.

First, let’s all agree that this doesn’t make sense. Second, let’s all agree that IT IS WONDERFUL. I don’t think there’s a practical application, but I can sense a lot of love from some guy with a welding torch.

Our design for Corked has hit stores. I think we started on it well over a year ago, so it’s nice to finally hold a copy in my hands. Connie Gabbert did a wonderful job on the title typography—she actually painted it with wine!
