I really enjoyed Gary Hustwit’s Documentary Helvetica, even though I am somewhat of a typographical noob, so I was pleasantly surprised to find out he has another film coming out. Based on the preview it looks like it will be, not only very beautiful to look at, but also cover the subject matter of why beautiful and functional design matters. It seems there will be a lot of close-ups of creative minds at work and explaining themselves. Very engaging and close to my heart. visit the official film website.

I’m usually not interested in prints, but this one is so beautiful and works on so many levels for me, I had to post it. I love its direct connection to nature, its one-to-one relationship with the original, and its hand made nature. It’s so gloriously simple an idea and execution, yet it’s meticulous in its creation. I only wish I could afford the $4000 price tag. This Bryan Nash Gill original is available at the fantastic ashes & milk store.

Getting pretty excited about these new Simpsons stamps coming out in May! You can pre-order now, there is even a fancy “Framed Art” version (pictured above), and you can vote for your favorite Simpsons character too! I guess occasionally some (semi-private) government agencies can get it right!
