How YOU doin'?


Look what my friend forwarded me today–pretty nifty, no? There are Manhattan, Chicago, Boston, and San Fran posters, too . . . well, they're on the way. Check 'em out here: http://orkposters.com/

From the school across the street from my apt.

anothe book blog...

Going along with Kelly's post, check out the Covers Blog by the design firm FWIS. This has gotten pretty popular, and one of the papers in NYC has added them to their books and literature page to do cover reviews as well.

They're firm website is pretty cool too... www.fwis.com. I like the way they so easily display all of their work

The secret ingredient is nonsense phrases.



Calendars are pretty terrible except when they aren't.

Books, books, books

And here is a nifty book site I found Friday . . . you probably won't want anything to do with it tonight, but when you get around to thinking about our LAST book, it could be a handy bit of inspiration:

type + ceramics = brilliant


Check out this great artist I just found! Her work is gorgeous! She has some great blackletter sculptures, and I love some of the lettering she employs on other pieces —the "Do you want to boogie woogie?" pitcher is especially great. But couldn't you see this piece on my mantle, you know, if I had one?

"Accident"



Kelly must be trying to keep herself from getting a fingernail STD or something, 'cause she's been wearing these finger-condoms all day... as it turns out she should have bought the x-large...

Yum, Pie!




It looks like delicious, bloody, spaghetti pie, yummy. It is really some sort of weird flower arrangement on a basement windowsill.

Joyce


OK, the whole bad album cover thing isn't new, but these still made me laugh and wonder, is that THE Joyce of "Joyce Unplugged"?! One can only hope.

NPR Song Project with Stephin Merrit

Given a number of photos and words to choose from , Merritt had 2 days to record a song coupling one image and word. The entire process is documented and the song is pretty good. Also get ready for a new Magnetic Fields album Jan 15.

The Metric System is for Canadians

Really nice thesis project from the Designer as Author MFA program at SVA. Danny DeVito is a tiny, tiny man. And Tom Hanks? America's sweetheart.
