Slightly creepy video, but the song is infectious! The video is actually an excerpt from Anna, a made for TV movie from 1967 starring Jean Claude Brialy and Anna Karina (and not really Marianne Faithfull). Serge is in it though and the whole soundtrack is tops!
My favourite dog in the world sadly passed away a couple of days ago. A sad day for me and my family and friends who knew Mr. Gomez. He will be dearly missed and fondly remembered.
These are “b-sides”??! via Monster Children twitter.
I kind of “overdid” hip hop a bit when I was in high school and I needed a break for a while (10 years?), but I think I’m back on board now. I’ve decided to start posting up a series of some of the freshest jams from the 90s/00s….starting with Rick the Ruler!
Time to rejoin the real world once again!
This one goes out to all the type nerds out there who have been longing for something new, old, and awesome. Fonts.com has posted up Volumes 1-8 of ITC’s quarterly publication U&lc (Upper & lowercase) in high-res downloadable pdf’s. All but the last few of these were art directed by Herb Lubalin and they all look amazing modern and unique even 20 years later.
I realise that I have been neglecting to put any work (well, actually, anything at all) up here for a while now. I am working on a new website at the moment, but it keeps getting bumped from my priority list due to work commitments. I should set a deadline for myself I think.
VICE Style has been up for a while now, but the developments have been ongoing. I did the design and art direction for the site working closely with Daryoush, Stephen, and Dan @ VICE to bring it all together, and have been doing ongoing creative for it as needed. We have been fine-tuning things since launch and trying to iron out the details and now we are nearly ready for round two (on which we focused on heavily on user testing and feedback). It’s been a great project and should be getting better as it gets older!
Amazing mixed-use building designed by Danish firm Bayarch going up (I think) in South Boston. Read more at Inhabitat.
Relaxing with a hint of danger! Great stuff from Man About Town, Atelier Franck Durand & Kilian Martin.

Taking a break from the normal nonsense I post on this blog, I thought I would interject something enlightening and inspiring….and serious. Despite being roughly a decade old now, this article rings more true today than it probably did when it was written. This is Bill Joy, co-founder and chief scientist of Sun Microsystems, on technology, robots, ethics, and the future of us humans. Never so much had I wanted to put everything I own into NASA research *just in case*. It’s quite a long piece, but give it a chance, it’s definitely worth the time.
