Oliver Herring

"Most people are much more unusual, complicated, and eccentric, and playful and creative than they have the time to express. Play. It's a thing that we put on hold because we get distracted by so many other things. We have to make money, we have to pay the bills, we grow up. and these roles that we play- they are not real but after a while they become real. They become us. Play. Is sort of a reminder of what that is like to be a kid and we in the end never lose that. You carry your past inside of your so why should it disappear?"

So I sent my resume to Art House Co-op...

this was my cover letter...

World Cup!

Check out this awesome calendar for the World Cup! Such a cool design! View it in full screen and it is that much cooler. :)

CitID a (type)face to every city!

While looking up information on Chicago's Gaper's Block I came across an article on Chicago's Typeface which lead me to this little gem of a site:





CitID aims to gain global consciousness by giving a (type)face to every city worldwide. We should submit designs for our respective cities :) Could be fun!

A new creature

U-Ram Choe

U-Ram Choe has a solo show on display at the Frist Center in Nashville right now... if you find yourself in this grand city anytime soon I highly recommend seeing his "New Urban Species". His kinetic sculptures have to be seen in person. Though a video gives viewers a taste of what these pieces are like you lose the intricate and delicate details. Some pieces like the Urbanus Female Larva move with such gentle fluidity that you forget for a moment that they are not really breathing.

A Great Link

So I came across this link and just had to share it, anyone want to collaborate on a magazine?

Paul Burch and the WPA Ballclub

So opinion time... does this grainy photo have a nice look to it -or- does it look like the photographer needs a new camera?
Check out Paul Burch and listen to his music! Great Americana goodness :) I promise you will like it!
