An interesting and brilliant idea by Estonian designers Vladimir and Maksim Loginov. Picking up on current trends, they offer a wide selection of “hand made fonts” available for purchase, download and use. Each letter is an incredibly detailed, beautifully rendered piece of work, check out Skeleton, for example. There’s definitely some bad mixed in with the good, and I find the prices a bit steep, but the concept and execution are top notch.

Have a look for yourself!

I’ve been waiting for someone from my activist past to say something about all this. Thanks Brian… via Memefest. Full text available here.

Friend and graffiti artist extraordinaire Omen is opening his So Low show tonight at Gallery Yves Laroche. I designed the poster for him a while back and they’ll be making limited edition prints for those of us that can’t afford his actual pieces. I personally can’t wait to see his new work, of which I’ve caught a few glimpses over the last few months. It should be a great event, hope to see you there.

Last Sunday, Cat and I returned to Montréal after an amazing 3-week European vacation. We’d like to give gracious thanks and mad props to our hosts in Paris, Ljubljana and Vienna: Damien–host of magical evenings at 7ème ciel, Oliver and Vida–Oliver’s Studio Poper is an amazing and unique example of socially engaged communication (more on the studio and our collaboration with them soon), and my former classmate at LCP and good buddy Coco (Studio Elastik) and Saray of the Nucleo house. You are all inspirations and kind souls. Thank you!

Cat and I are currently across the pond on a much needed 3 week vacation! We’ve already hit Paris and London very briefly and are currently enjoying some downtime with Oliver and Vida in beautiful Ljubljana.
