Student work from Sweden: Tomas Nilsson reinterprets Little Red Riding Hood (above). Music by Slagsmålsklubben. You know, I never did understand why the wolf – with the big ol’ teeth – never actually chewed his food.
Nilsson’s animation was inspired by Röyksopps’ Remind Me (below).

Steve Masseroni is an incredible artist I knew in high school. He was dabbling with working for Marvel Comics at the time, but set out in his own direction. In a afternoon critique in 1985, he gave me his favorite brush and a few tips on being an illustrator. [Read more →]

Jamie Caliri Interview from SubmarineChannel on Vimeo
More detail and links at Forget the Film, Watch the Titles
Years back I was dazzled by the opening titles for the television program Big Apple (8 episodes, 2001). And when I found myself in a position to showcase motion graphics at an exhibition, title designer Jamie Caliri was at the top of our list.
My client, Normandie, is currently touring the known United States.
The band is a side project thunk up by 3 members of theSTART; as a result, the shows become a twofer (two bands in one).
In tow they have a bunch of my tour posters (seen above) as well as some special handmade START cds doodled by the band itself (see below).
Follow their advance across the continent by jumping over to vocalist Aimee Echo’s Twitter page. As of this writing, they seem to be somewhere in the original 13 colonies . . . And may have been replaced by pirates.
Tour dates for both bands can be found on their MySpace pages here and here.
I love good information graphics. And bad information graphics make my eyes bleed.
Check out this redesign by Robert Palmer (and strong letter to Rep. John Boehner) of a recent visual attack on the Democratic Health Plan.
This is an excellent example as to why graphic designers (well trained graphic designers) can do a lot more than just push buttons on a computer. Or make a logo look nice. Good graphic design is about good communication – and can be world changing.
(That’s my soapbox for the day. Thank you for reading.)

Click the image to read Maira Kalman’s ode to Franklin . . . .
Benjamin Franklin was fun. So much fun, the International Printing Museum has on staff the incredible Phil Soinski.
Soinski portrays Franklin as part of their educational services; and does such a fantastic job, I learned more about Hot Type in one hour with ‘Ben’ than reading thru whatever pile of type books are currently stacked on my desk. Drop by the museum, set up a tour, take a class – their programs, their dedication to the craft of printing can be contagious.
And illustrator Maira Kalman gives us a bunch of really cool things to know about ultramegasuperinventor Ben Franklin in yesterday’s New York Times . . . .
