I found these typographic designs by Watafak (click on “trabajos” to get to the works) to be very nice. The added texture actually works very well to give the design character without losing it’s sophistication. The color is also well executed. The fact that they are all in Spanish really gets me [...]

I am currently swooning over the above video of Thee More Shallows playing their song Ask me about Jon Stross live and acoustic on a couch. I’ve been a big fan ever since I saw them open for Why? a few years ago. They have a very low key, new-folk style, but the [...]

Sam Peet has a great collage illustration style going with this book entitled I had the strangest dream. The layering and texture make for a very surreal little environment. It’s sad that his portfolio is so small right now, hopefully he’ll add more soon.

I loved this photo of wispy toy sheep surround by luscious bokeh and I had to share it here. It’s in square format, but the original resolution is high enough that you can easily crop it to wallpaper size if you know how. See more by the photographer, MummaLu.

I want to say thanks for the interest, it makes the countless hours I spend scouring Flickr for quality typography photography, narrowing it [...]

I loved the highly detailed illustration in this gig poster for a Dosh show. It features whimsical looking type design and great colors. The artwork was done by Ian Ferguson of hydEONart.com. As a side note, Dosh’s music is great if you like eclectic atmospheric percussive songs.

I loved the simple yet unique design for a vector illustrator and designer’s portfolio website called “Aint Life Grand”. All you have to do click on the current image to get to the next one. You see one image at a time and it seems to suit the bare bones, yet witty and eye-catching [...]

I just found out about the Flickr group called, Typography Friday which encourages designers to create a typographic design for fun every friday. It sounds like fun and I decided to submit the above wide screen desktop wallpaper I made of a little ghost and a typographic “Boo?”. You can download the 2560×1600 [...]

I thought this little bird was cute and I like the minimal type above it that just says “hi.”. It was made by Wendy, of dozi design, which is a shop full of nice colors and patterns letterpressed onto paper goods. There’s a also a dozi design blog that chronicles her new work [...]
I just saw the movie “Once“, which was very good, but it was the soundtrack the really blew me away. I especially love Glen Hansard’s “Say it to me now” and the live performance I posted above is amazing. The sound quality in the recording isn’t the greatest but I think it adds [...]
