Less talk more posting
Hi folks. I’m a busy bee these days, not just occupied by tons of work, but also by entrance exams for design schools. Therefore I’ve decided that in order to get some more flow on the blog, that I will be posting videos and photos without always necessarily writing about it. It must not be a pretext for doing nothing, but I’m sure that it’ll fell more inspiring for you guys. Thank you for following anyway, and feel free to mail me regarding anything.

The DODOcase for your new iPad
I’ve had my iPad for a couple of months now, and I must say, that it’s by far the most useful gadget, I have ever had the chance of experiencing. Now, I rarely turn on my MacBook at home, and it always comes in handy when traveling or just at the coffee table. Anyway, a lot of stuff – and enough – has been said about the iPad, and since the second version is out now, I feel more like recommending a cover for it.
It’s quite expensive, but I like that there’s a story and a goal behind the DODOcase. The fact that it’s created with care and by hands of enthusiastic people is furthermore selling it for me. But mostly, I just think that it’s god damn cool. It feels, smells and looks cool. At the same time, the art of bookbinding is sort of being kept alive by adapting it to the future world of e-readers. Maybe it’s ‘bla bla’ – I don’t care, the story is good.
My DODOcase is blue.

Jamie XX making love to The Black Bob Dylan
It’s kinda old news, I know. Nevertheless I just recently realized how awesome a combination Jamie XX and Gil Scott-Heron is!
I wrote about the Black Bob Dylan on the blog last year when he was in Copenhagen, but this remake of his album “I’m New Here” is magnificent.
Great for a Friday night. Here’s two small tasty bites from the album: “We’re New Here”.
Make sure to check out Music is Art, which is where I grabbed the tracks from.

Ellie Foreman-Peck from London
London based illustrator Ellie Foreman-Peck must be one of the most amazing illustrators I have come across lately. Her lines seems so light, correct and effortless, and her portraits are so sharp and serious even with a twist of caricature.
The first image is a portrait of The Guardian writer, Alex Chancellor, and the second is Philip Roth, who is writing for Telegraph’s Review section.
Make sure to browse this womans portfolio. It contains so much more inspiring stuff.

Marco Campedelli x Calligraphy
A couple of weeks ago I started taking Croquis-classes which is pretty fun and stimulating. A blank piece of paper, coal and no thoughts – just your arm and your brain collaborating to create what ever art is. I never really tried working with Calligraphy, but this video of Marco Campedelli is really inspiring and it makes me want to explore that field.
Marco Campedelli is a teacher of Graphic Design and Calligraphy. He graduated in Advertising Graphics in the Ateneo Institute of Milan (1994). In 1996 he founded the Homing studio with Federica Negroni. Since 1999 he has worked as a freelance designer with various advertising agencies between Verona and Milan. He specializes in wine design, wine bottle label design, editorial graphics and interior design, as well as participating in personal and group exhibitions in Italy, Spain and Belgium. Since 2006 he has been the director of the Italian Calligraphy Association, with whom he has collaborated since 1997. Today he lives in Verona (Italy).

Photo Friday
I like Bill Murray
Flickr find: Dan Mountford
The artworks by Dan Mountford is fantastic. He created these beautiful photos using double exposure with his camera, and had almost no help by Photoshop (except for colors). Check out his flickr page, where you can order print!

Movies in one frame
A Single Man (2009)
Bambi (1942)
Slumdog Millionaire (2008)
Requiem for a Dream (2000)
Have a look at this great idea! – Some guy turned intire movies into single images. The result is a beautiful set of color schemes. Maybe it can be used for designing artwork.

Snaps from Amsterdam
20 snaps from 5 days in Amsterdam with Anders Beck. We had the pleasure of my friend Crystels company. She was kind enough to offer us a place to stay, furthermore she and her kind friends showed us around. I love Amsterdam. I posted a couple photos from my mobile at phonephotography.tumblr.com.

Raymond Lemstra x Gentlemen and totems
I can’t rally recall from where I know this wonderful artist, but I remember a friend was asking me, if I could help him find a poster for his new apartment. So I recommended Raymond Lemstra, which is a dutch artist creating some pretty cool art. The top illustration is for a japanese t-shirt firm. I would like a gentleman like that on a white t-shirt!
