This is a commercial typeface, but I am attempting to find a related face for free. Let me know if you find one!

Amazing Converse Ads

I can't get enough of the spectacular Converse commercials featuring Julian Casablancas, Pharrel, and Santogold. This is some seriously kinetic stop motion!

Chris Ashworth Is Back...at least to me

Chris Ashworth was the creative director at David Carson's seminal RayGun magazine during the mid to late nineties. Ashworth, like Carson before him practiced the Deconstucted aesthetic of the 1990's. His work there was absolutely startlingly beautiful - grimy and worn, textural and tactile. I was absolutely enthralled with his work, but have not been able to find him online to see what he has been up to for years, but this past week I found him!

Ashworth can be found at: http://chris-ashworth.com/home/welcome/

I highly recommend that you check him out. In honor of my Ashworth rediscovery, I give you a couple of my favorite covers he designed for RayGun. The Oasis cover is one of my favorite pieces of art ever created.

Been Watching Some Good Stuff

I've been watching a bunch of silent films lately, and I've discovered a bunch of great stuff. Old horror movies especially, and there are some beautiful, amazing movies out there to check out. You can watch them in their entirety on youtube, which is great.

Here are a couple of stills to get you interested from The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928). Also check out the main titles to Nosferatu (1922), which are set in exquisite Futura, for you typenerds (like me) our there.

To watch these and other great films, check out my youtube page at:

Oh I Am Alive

Hello again, I am back! Sorry for the lack of posts over the past several months, but I have been moving across the country and into a new job, so I've been a bit busy. But I am alive and well and enjoying mowing my lawn in a t shirt in mid-November.

More to come,
