Interesting type experiments, unconventional calendars, and polaroids of sticks (all the sticks were safely returned to the forest). Check out the work of Claire Nereim. Really digging her dateless calendars - wall calendars are for show anyways.
Some great record sleeves and other graphic work from Mitch Beige Brown outta Sydney, Australia.
Pie Paper is a great looking creative publication outta New Zealand. A healthy mix of art, science and pretty pictures. The image below is from their launch at Semi Permanent in Auckland. You can order it online for a fiver.
This is great to see - lettering by Maxwell Lord created the good old fashioned way, by hand. Like the old saying goes: “Fineliners before mouse clicks!” (No one says this, I made it up) Thanks for the email Max.
Montreal-based Julien Vallée is a cut & paste master. When I originally posted about the work of Nicolas Burrows I didn’t realise the image of all the stuff coming out of the computer screen was actually a collaborative effort with Vallée. It makes perfect sense now.
This beautifully crafted wood version of Wall-E is just incredible. I believe a company called Morpheus produced it but I’m not sure if they had the rights as information about the project and images have been taken off the net. I never saw the movie, is it worth seeing?
The end of Project #4 has finally come! It was no easy task narrowing down the 80+ submissions to the 3. Thank you to everyone who participated! Hit the “more” button to see the 3 finalists and end the suspense.
This weekend my friend Terri (The Conveyor Belt) and I were asked to speak on the topic of blogging, at the University of British Columbia! It was actually pretty fun to share the little bit I’ve learned so far, running this site. The best part is we were paid in my second favourite currency: Beer (second only to diamonds).
After I spoke, someone stood up and said “Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.” I thought that was a little rude, maybe that’s just me.
