Inspire Me Now La buena prensa Inspiration Resource. Bedstuy Records – Promotional Magazine This newspaper is one half of my diploma thesis. It presents the fictitious hip hop label Bedstuy which I’ve created over the past six months. The label represents a lot of different artists whom I like to listen to the most. These artists are split up into three categories: rap (purple), soulful rap (orange) and oldschool rap (green). The magazine is divided into three parts. Watch this video to flip through the magazine. The project is completely fictitious without any chance of being realized in the next years.

These can art people come from the imagination of a British artist known as My Dog Sighs, who has left a piece of art on the street for someone to find every Friday for the last 10 years. Above, check out a small sampling of some of his work. Why did you start painting faces on cans, as opposed to canvas or wood? I make art to go on the street as part of my Free Art Friday project. Where do the cans come from? It started with cans I found on the street. What do the cans symbolize to you and which kinds make the best canvas? My work is often describe as melancholic, and I suppose I work towards that. Surely you must need to eat.

Audiofile Engineering asked me to make a robot like this for them, to be won in a promotional contest. Yellow Drum Machine II is done now, and it can be found here. .. There is always more fun to do with this robot, but for now I will just mark it "complete" in the current version, hope you enjoy it. Notice how the robot first plays on the object it finds (or is forced to find by the angry cameraman), plays a small beat, and records the beat it plays on it. Also some videos from construction and tuning-time.. What it does? Navigate around, collect some data, avoid obstacles, until itFinds something "worth playing on" (a single isolated object or a wide flat surface that it can find an angle onto)Snakes into placePlays some beats on what it have found, and samples this, checking it has a "good sound"Based on data collected in the area, and sample just made, then compose a little rhythm, and plays this along with the sample Why? Under neath is speaker and a microphone. And.. Any questions?

Graphic Journey Blog: Schmalfette: Tall, dark and handsome I know a lot has been written about this… Twen's Art Director, Willy Fleckhaus 1925 - 1987 The ground-breaking 1960s German magazine Twen, including on this blog. But then again, you can never get enough of a good thing. When I first got into this funny old business of graphic design way back in the ‘60s, the high point of the month was picking up a copy of Twen magazine from the international newsagents in Old Compton Street, Soho. I couldn’t speak a word of German but that didn’t stop me from shelling out a not insubstantial amount for a mint copy of Twen. It is called Schmalfette Grotesk and was designed by Walter Haettenschweiler in 1954, a Swiss typoholic. Many designers in the UK at the time wanted to use it, but couldn’t as it wasn’t available here, even via the early iterations of photo setting. Here is a book cover I designed in 1965 that uses cut-up Schmalfette for the title. Such innocent, hands-on days. Heinze Edelmann 1934 - 2009 Above Edelmann’s Blue Meanies
