‘I think David Carson is at a loss for what rules to break, as he has now done away with them all’ -yves
‘David Carson is the David Byrne of design.’ -leandro
‘bullshit. all bullshit’ -pablo
Still pissing people off, still provoking.
Here’s a summation of David Carson’s talk at TYPOBerlin 2010.
HST quote
Nothing could ever top the Hunter S. Thompson talk I attended back in 1990.
Drove miles to see THE Gonzo journalist himself; HST showed up on stage, bottle of whiskey in hand, drunk. Hit on the woman presenting him. Mumbled a bit, started yelling at the audience, they yelled back. Went on for a few minutes. Then he left.
Tickets were 18 dollars.
‘ADAC (the Art Directors and Artists Club) presents What’s Next?, a panel featuring four Sac State graduates speaking about the different paths they’ve taken in the design world since graduating five years ago.’
ADAC’s first event in – oh, Lord knows how long – happens this coming Tuesday, May 25, 2010 at the AIA Central Valley Building in Sacramento. Details and pricing here.

40th Anniversary Woodstock tribute poster tied to a west coast music festival.
This was a collaborative project I designed with psychedelic light show legend George Holden. His liquid light backgrounds, my illustration and lettering.
doug’s tour
This fall, Oklahoma City-based photographer Doug Schwarz followed LA-based band Normandie on tour. And I just happen to be designing for Normandie.
Normandie is a side project of theSTART – or another way to look at it, Doug also followed theSTART on tour because Normandie just happened to be in the same vehicle. Follow that? Hope so.
So it was fun when Doug pinged me and said he got my poster signed by everyone he talked to. It’s now part of his Wall of Inspiration (above); the signed poster (below).
tees-n-stuff
This year I also designed some tees for Normandie. They can be snagged via the new online Normandie store here. They’re running a holiday special too (details on page). One can also order a poster. [Read more →]
