As Horacio pointed out in the comments, Batman makes a cameo on this 1968 Design Magazine Cover. Such a specific pop culture reference seems a bit out of place among it’s vaguely evocative surroundings (the Union Jack excluded).  As the title suggests, this all must be in reference to Carnaby Street which was sort of a fashion / cultural center to the Mod movement in 1960s England.  Perhaps it had lost it’s hip status by the time this issue was published and the cover depicts the death knell of the movement.  At any rate, a very nice illustration worthy of framing. Right after you clone-stamp out the byline at the bottom, that is.

This via Matthew Tellier.  Wish I had this illo by itself, really like the vibe.  At any rate, a standout cover for BusinessWeek to be certain. Looks like it was originally screenprinted, anyone know the artist?

Update via TKTK:  The artist is Jimmy Turrell.

Layer Tennis was a blast…thanks to everyone for watching and commenting.  Thanks to Rob Cordiner for a great set and to Coudal and Co. for putting us on.  I have to say it was a very interesting experiment.  (more…)

Drove to Sacramento today to deliver the artwork for this Saturday’s Gallery Show. Stuck around for a while to watch them hanging the work, took some shots.  Should end up looking nice, there will be some new stuff in there along with five large format pieces and some as yet unreleased work that’s just been printed for the first time. All the work is limited edition printed in Giclee on watercolor paper. Try to make it out and say hi…There will also be a live Tycho set and the whole thing is free for all ages.  Info

I’ll be battling Rob Cordiner in Layer Tennis Tomorrow. I apparently won the coin toss so I’ll be going first. The whole thing kicks off at 12pm PST (GMT -6), details are here. Should be a good time, you can comment along in the forums of the Layer Tennis site.

Some more Otl Aicher Munich ’72 artifacts.  I found this image on Flickr but now can’t seem to find who took it.  If you are that person, or know who did, please let me know so I can properly credit this.  Of course the design is amazing, but the picture is great too.  The reflections are really complementary to the designs. 

I’ll be doing a poster show at Sacramento’s Artisan Gallery this Saturday, 11/10/07.  There will be large format Giclee versions of many of my prints on display as well as a lot of 12×18" show posters.  All will be for sale along with prints from the shop and t-shirts. Afterwards I’ll be doing a Tycho set with visuals and all.  Try to make it out, it’s free and it’s a very cool venue so should be a lot of fun.  This will be part of Sacramento’s "Second Saturday" art walk which is always a great time. The show runs from 6-11pm.

This image sent my way by Element Kuuda. This may be one of my favorites so far.  Are those seats, as in stadium seating?  Really love this color palette. Element sent some other nice images as well…will be posting those shortly.

Heading back to San Francisco tomorrow after another amazing experience at the OFFF festival.  It kept me pretty busy over the past week so I haven’t had much time to post up here or respond to comments, but I will be right back to it once I make it home and get some much needed rest.  Again, I want to thank everyone who came out to my presentation, the workshop (pictured above), and the booth.  It was great to meet and talk with so many people who are so passionate about design. Hope to see you all again next year.

Today is the final day of the OFFF festival in New York.  I want to thank everyone who came out to see my talk on Friday and the workshop on Saturday.  I’ll be around all day Sunday so if you haven’t already, stop by the ISO50 booth (right in front, no OFFF ticket needed) and say hi! I’ll also be playing a Tycho set Sunday night at the OFFF after party.
