I’ve been wanting to do something like this locally with A-OK, I love the concept an execution on this video by Sumit Paul.
Excerpt from iamthisland.org:
I AM THIS LAND is a response to a year of divisive rhetoric; it is Breakthrough’s call for a more positive and open-minded future for our country. The new year provides the opportunity to celebrate our diversity and recommit to building a society that values dignity, equality and justice.
Some really great typography and cinematography in these commercials for EF Language Schools directed by Gustav Johansson. The excellent examples of typography are thanks to Albin Holmqvist.

ill Studio has some typographic marvels over at their website including this piece from the 2007 illuminati exhibition at the Lazy-Dog gallery in Paris. I’ve found myself overly drawn to the white-on-white text look with only shadows to spell the words and this is a beautiful piece of balance and form with all the type chosen. It’s also hard not to get excited at how well they can work their logo into a piece, it’s my dream to make logo’s that work so well one day.
La Boca is an independent design circus based in Portobello, West London. They specializing in art & design for the film, music and fashion industries, all industries I’m really excited about but it’s their work on limited edition vinyl record sleeves that I have especially enjoyed.
CT is 25 years old, hails from a little town on the hills near Torino, Italy, and has a modern take on Graffiti art. While his work looks infused with Illustrator vector work, he claims to be computer illiterate and does all his work old school with a pen and paper.
Too cool, great experiment in Web Open Font Format (WOFF) support & design. It’s really neat if you’re not a nerd, too…
A quick poster I did for Earth Hour, the 60 contains facts about how much power is saved in different countries across the world.
This is from the Luke’s Beard everyday project for 2010. Taking one lyric from a song every day and creating art or taking a photo inspired from that lyric.
Love this picture, gives me a flashback to the video I made about 14 months ago.
“This is the Man” embodying a tough, classic, handsome, and intelligent person featured in a button up dress shirt, in bunny ears stating “Man Should Be Brave,” and in a trench and boots stating “Eat Meat. Dress Well.” The French Connection Manifesto states, “Men have lost the ungentle art of manliness. The man in the street doesn’t know what to bring to a knife fight. He gets nervous around large fish. He can’t tie a full Windsor. Men have forgotten how to snap a bra open with a click of their fingers—women are undoing their own bras to save time! Meanwhile guys are eating little portions of leaves and putting too much gel in their hair. They are wearing t-shirts with dope leaves and robots on them when they are over 22 years-old.”
Handcrafted with love by BYU design students and faculty, for the 5th Typophile Film Festival. A visual typographic feast about the five senses, and how they contribute to and enhance our creativity. Everything in the film is real—no CG effects!
Shot with a RED One, a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, a Canon EOS 40D, and a Nikon D80.

Ever since I began making these Mixcasts, it was my eventual hope I would be able to co-host and co-curate some of these mixes. In some way, this small dream has come true with the Guest Mixtapes I've been able to share with you; but at the end of the day, it was still my voice. At least in the literal sense. All of that changes today as I'm joined by my friend Erik Jack (@erikstocrat). We sat down and picked some of the songs we haven't been able to get out of our heads in the past couple months, as ...
Well spring has sprung (if you ask me, and no, no one did) and you know how I feel about warmer weather. Instead of doing a two-parter spring Mixcast this year, I figured I'd just do a double length. I didn't put a lot of effort into narration for this one, so the good news you get to enjoy more music! Get in the mood with these fine musicians: Amor Fati by Washed Out Weekend by Class Actress Young Silence by Echo Lake Friendship Station by Le Tigre A Visit From Drum by Liars Ashamed by Deer Tick All We'll Ever Know by Parallels Triceratops (CFCF Rmx) by ...
Now this has been a long time coming. The last few months for me have been a ride, to say the very least. January, usually a slow time in my life was quickly filled with personal projects I had been putting off for a long time. I followed up with a lot of people I've wanted to collaborate with, under the assumption about 30%-50% of them would have the time to commit to a collab... imagine my surprise when just about everyone was into working together. Long story some-what short, I asked my friends in Sex with Strangers (@SWSmusic) to put ...
I tried something new last year when I gave you the ...By a Fire Mixtape, an alternative—although not entirely disparate—Holiday Mixtape. An hour long, commercial-free Holiday Mixtape where only 1/3 of the tracks are actual Christmas songs. To this day, I've considered producing another Mixtape in a similar fashion. I know it's nice to be able to put some music on and forget about it. I also hate the silence between tracks on regular Holiday albums so we kill two birds with one stone. Now, enjoy ...By a Fire: Volume 2. Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! by ...
