Joe Wright now

I’ll take one of each of these in every room in my apartment.

What a gorgeous mind this man must have.

Joe Wright also works with bloke films and has been living in New York for the last eight years, after graduating from Saint Martins School of Art.

Oh what a way to start a Monday!!

This eliminated my winter funk for a full five minutes. LOVE the end, the last 10 seconds sound like the apocalypse.

Thanks Skull4brains!

SPACE! POSTERS!

I’ve run across a couple designers creating EXCEPTIONALLY beautiful space posters as of late.  Nows a great time for designers to be taking on space as a topic, with talk of cutting much of our space exportation at the same times we’re finding amazing stuff out there!

The two posters above are part of an Astronomy set created by Simon Page. Simon’s work has a great Swiss Grid feeling to it and is highly geometric. Both of the posters above seem to harken back to the “golden age” of space when folks smoking pipes and sat on the hoods of their Cadillacs while they watched Buzz Aldrin and his counterparts blast off into the great unknown. Do yourself a favor and go dig around in Simon’s flickr page, there’s definitely some gold moon rocks to be found there.

Next up is the equally talented Ross Berens who takes an similarly Swiss but much more contemporary spin on the celestial bodies surrounding us. Ross’ typography blows me away and I love the desolate feeling of his posters. His posters give me the sensation of being in frigid, silent space starting at the beauty of each of these planets, really great stuff. If you’d like to have one of Ross’ lovely posters for your very own you can buy one here.

Just in case you’re clambering for just a LITTLE more spacey goodness here’s some in video form.

Christmas Vital Stats 2009

I may be a month or so late on this one but it was too good to pass up. We’ve all received something that we didn’t want or that we loved but was WAY too big for christmas. For those of your who don’t want to send out a link to your Amazon wish list this is a great (and MUCH better looking) solution. Designer and Illustrator Cookie has put together a card to mark all your vital sizing statistics. Best not to lie on this one, this isn’t your driver’s license, you’re going to regret spotting yourself a pant size or two in this case.

Group love – Flick it

Alright this is the beginning. I will do the heavy lifting and find you some groups on Flickr that you need to be a part of, or at least know about.

Also side note, I was told the other day that the results that come up in a Google search are rumored to represent about 1% of the information on the internet.

So put that in your pipe, and then bring it to the pipe smokers lounge on Flickr.
