So... I'll start off with my freshest of fresh...

I sort of envisioned a “weekly instalment” type thing, with discussion about each. With one long post, it may eventually become difficult to separate one instalment from the next, as well as the comments that go with each. Regardless, new content is good content.
Except spam.
And Justin Bieber.

Looking through some old sketch books from the late 1990's, I came across this. Made before I even knew what lettering was. Interesting.

Even to this day Piet Zwart's work can be seen to have a significant impact ...Greg Lamarche's stuff to name but one.

These Christmas balls will be suspended midair. But right now they are laid down slaves to the grid. I used the font PIXymbols Newsdot as my starting point. I'd like to work in a skull somewhere and sometime do a suspended ampersand with completely different objects now that I've come this far.
Whilst hungover, I'll try to get this one finished up sometime tomorrow.

I'd remove the one with the two orthogonal adjacencies.

No, the one above the one you removed.

Yes, the bottom one is even better.
Now make a 3D one that looks like an ampersand from 90° off. ;-)

I'll catch up with the xmas one later on ...but for now I have created an AWESOME ampersand of my stuff...
...coolio concept for sure!!!
Later on I'll suspend the stuff in midair using clear thread. A gallery installation would be awesome using stuff too!!! I can see this concept going corporate/commercial in a heart beat.

Love the needle-nose vice-grips. And if thats not it, what is that tool in the bottom right corner?
2 Jan 2013 — 11:22pm
1. A compass given to me by my grandfather.
2. My second most favorite skull of all times, which has been featured in many a graphic.
3. A crazy bird I found inside a chocolate egg.
4. A star I use a lot in stenciling.
5. A rock from a gold mine in Kirkland Lake Ont. Canada. Gold in natural form is awesome!
6. Homage to the great graphic designer Milton Glaser! ...and to typography in general.
7. A gold ring with the diamond cut out ...'nuff said about that.
8. A silver Haida Indian Thunder Bird pendant.
9. Copper sheet folded into a paper airplane form.
10. Mini Cessna airplane representing a life sized one I learned to fly back in the day.
11. Pawn chess piece, I play a lot of chess ...and we are all pawns. No?
12. An eraser I never got the nerve to use cause it's awesome and glows in sunlight!
13. My homage to Big Daddy Roth and all custom builders in general.
14. My windup toy robot I'm using in a short film called STOP WAR.
15. A stick of graphite I commonly use to draw/sketch anything and everything & a moldable eraser sitting on it.
16. My guitar capo ...it gots a funky looking profile!

Funkiest capo I ever saw... by a light-year-wide margin.

After a doing google quicky I see they still sell strong.
Kyser KG6W White Capo
The shape of it reminds me of Prince's Cloud guitar...

You need far more objects, especially in the 7, 8, 9 area, otherwise it is too much of a dot-to-dot. And the capo might work better if it was flipped.

Typographic Tilley!
I just submitted this entry to The New Yorker's 6th annual Tilley comp.
The graphic is composed entirely of type used from The New Yorker typeface. It's not too hideous of a Tilley, I could have done better but I only heard of the Tilley comp at noon on Jan.7th ...sigh. I'll keep you posted if I get into the top 12.
The New Yorker says in the entrance guidelines that Jan.7th is the cut off ...I sure hope they're using PST as the drop dead time, because I hit the submit button at 12:00AM Jan.8th here in the EST ...lol!!
