Kit-Blog has an interesting piece about Woody Allen’s use of the typeface EF Windsor Elongated.

This reminded me of a story about Stanley Kubrick and his love for the typeface Futura.

Sample of Hoefler and Frere-Jones’ new font, Archer.

You’ll be seeing this typeface everywhere very soon. Beautiful.

Check out their bit about Gotham, while you’re at it.

This past weekend I participated in a show/party called Diorama-Rama in Duluth. It was pretty amazing. Very inspiring indeed. Here are a couple of links.

My diorama was dedicated to the memory of a good friend who passed away recently. Thanks Zon!

Clark. Turning Dragon. Cover Artwork.

Clark is, as far as I’m concerned, one of those musicians that has figured it all out. He’s in the same class as Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Madlib, Keith Fullerton Whitman, JDilla, Dosh, Ghostband, Fog, and Icarus. What I appreciate about this music most is that the music remains ‘musical’ while exploring the sonic possibilities of acoustic and electronic instruments.

Turning Dragon has been playing loud the past few days. Indeed.

Quadraplastic. Elegant Black and White Graphic Work.

Some Black and White. Always complex. It’s all in how you use it.

This guy has style. Period.
