AT-AT day afternoon from Patrick Boivin

Came across a great read yesterday.  All the better for it

 “‘I don’t want to go among mad people,’ Alice remarked. ‘Oh, you can’t help that,’ said the Cat: ‘we’re all mad here.’”

Currently listening to: ” Dont u evah” by Spoon

Saw “Up in the Air” the other day and eye thought it was a very deliberate and excellent film. The former description a reference to the zeitgeist capturing motives of George Clooney & Co; the latter being the ensuing results (P.S: very well placed soundtrack)

Truly had a rousing good time and unequivocally my favorite broadway experience on Nov 28th!

Something to look forward to in February.

 -Nothing quite paints a more honest picture of NYC like this. The faces, names and places it frames are told here, 1 story @ a time. Love it, especially now I am afar

- Believe it or not: actually for a good cause. Seriously! And on a side note: glad ICR Deth Killers arz bakkk!!

- Weekend Agenda: Fantastic Mr Fox. Also, while I am on the topic of foxes

In 1989 Erik and Joan Spiekermann signed contracts with leading type foundries, packed their small office with floppy disks full of fonts, and started taking phone orders. FontShop became the first independent retailer of digital type. Twenty years later we’re still stocking the best fonts (though the number has grown and the medium has changed) and still answering phones.

“Portrait of a studio in 1000 images.
by 2×4, New York

it is what it is was published in conjunction with the eponymous exhibition at the Eye of Gyre gallery in Tokyo in 2009. The book features 1000 by-products from the life of a studio, un-narrated and crudely arranged along a typical design trajectory from the earliest concepts, sketches, doodles and diagrams through the process of making, modeling, producing and, finally, delivering work into the world. A blurry telling of a blurry story, it is what it is attempts to locate a master narrative in the chaotic, quotidian process of making design, and to reveal how what we think about evolves into what we make.”
Now available at iiwii.org.

on a side note, WSDIA partner, Sarah, just bought this Bodkin piece.

“The focus of Sarah’s work is the feedback loop between constructed spaces and pedestrian motion. She studies how the built environment and human behavior reciprocally impact each other; most recently, the way that the visual progression of the human gaze is mapped by the contours of a given space. Sarah opens apertures in existing architectures, modifying the modular units that make up our standardized urban world. These apertures create new lines of sight within the space of display, and can function as both “holes” and “screens.”
