It's Handmade Nation Time!

Very cool stop-motion sequence for the upcoming indie craft documentary, Handmade Nation, that I keep hyping up. Tonight was the premiere in Milwaukee and on February 12th at 6:30, it premieres in NYC at the Museum of Arts and Design.

Blippo bold (and why America is graphically eff'd)

So, I'm sitting here going through twitter tonight when I see an intriguing tweet posted by Typophile which simply reads: "Blippo bold? Why America is graphically eff'd. (Caution strong language.)" So, I click on the video and I was simply wowed, mainly because of my own recent frustrations built around this topic.

Ok, so, this is Aaron Draplin, of Draplin Design Co. and this is a small clip from a new mini-documentary that he and Jess Gibson are working on together. I can't wait to see the entire finished piece. Enjoy.

Herb and Dorothy

And yet, another one I'd like to see. Herb and Dorothy is a documentary film which tells the extraordinary story of Herb, a postal clerk, and Dorothy, a librarian - an ordinary couple of modest means who managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history.

Died Young, Stayed Pretty

Died Young, Stayed Pretty is yet another documentary I can't wait to see. It's all about silkscreen poster artists and the community around them. Some of my favorite artists are featured – Art Chantry, Print Mafia, Andrew Bird, Seripop, Methane Studios, Jay Ryan and on, and on!

Kartemquin films presents: Typeface

Picture 1
I'm REALLY excited to see this!

Typeface focuses on a rural Midwestern museum and print shop where international artists meet retired craftsmen and together navigate the convergence of modern design and traditional technique.

Welcome!
