The End of Print has arrived
So we just sat thru a really sucky decade. And there’s just a few weeks left.
And even though it was predicted, oh, almost 15 years ago; the End of Print may finally be here. Next year.
Watch the video.
The stiff hands may be caused by some atomic power issue thingie. I hear they’re working on it.
SALM
‘Electro-strings with Cello/Violin Duo’
Karl Largerfield discovered SomethingALaMode (SALM) and this past spring invited them to perform at the 2009 Chanel Runway Show in Venice. Video (above) documents SALM’s trip to the show.
SALM’s debut album is now available, go here. Article here. MySpace here.
Still Calm
Found in a pile of dusty old books, the British Ministry of Information’s ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ poster from WWII has become an icon. In addition to stores here, here, here and here – there is also the Keep Calm Gallery.
Images are from the Gallery’s collections; click on any image for jump.
Asbestos Press
‘It all started with a screen printing kit from an art store and a dingy asbestos filled basement’
I first ran into Laura Edmisten at a DIY thing a few years back. She had just started silkscreening notecards and other ephemera. Today she’s conquered the local band scene and expanding outward (her business, not her). She does super cool, limited run screened cards, notebooks, tote bags. And posters. With more to come.
Check out her Etsy store here. Website here. MySpace here.
N-N-N-Neutra Face
I’m going gaga over the Poker Neutra Face video (above).
Neutraface in use in the Quantum of Solace (2008) logo (below).
The Neutraface fonts are a product of House Industries.
