Released in August of 2009, Bonesana is the creation of Matthieu Cortat of Gestalten. And I love it. Worth a moment to download a 7 page sample PDF.
I especially love his response to the question why he didn’t create a bold version:
Jessica and Zara’s new shtudio in Lowertown Saint Paul opened for the semi-annual Saint Paul Art Crawl last weekend. Posters were sold. Cookies were munched. More on this as we reflect on the experience…and gather links to the people we want to thank.
Jessica and I rode the old English 3 speeds to work today, in honor of Earth Day and our car being out of gas. Hoping it forms a habit. Twas a tad chilly at 37F when we left the house but we had our love of the earth to keep us warm.
Speaking of habit forming, I know a lot of people with high efficiency cars get hooked on hyper-miling—changing their driving behavior to max out every last drop of fuel and/or electricity with the help of the instant feedback mpg readings on their dashboards.
Not my bag.
I could however, get into this:
A dashboard for your house’s fuel efficiency. You can watch the digits change as you unplug stuff. This one’s $99 from Black & Decker. The only question is, what do we call it?
Hyperhousing?
KiloWatching?
The latest Pottery Barn catalog sports a see-through coffee table so you can showcase the sea shells and first edition Hemingways you’ve got laying around. We, however, can’t do see-through because our coffee table is filled with remotes and dog brushes.
Enough about pottery barn.
We found the IKEA LIATORP, perfect for stashing unsightlies, except for the glass top that makes them completely…well
sightly.
No problem, we had a vintage power company leaning in our back entryway.
And that baby fit perfectly suspended under the glass, resting on some sturdy screws. Thanks for the wham bam, Mam.
One Giant Headline for Mankind
I found a stash of moon landing newspapers crammed in a photo album in a box of stuff I cleared out of my dad’s basement. I caught the space bug as a kid and always imagined one day I’d be sitting on the roof of an RV in a lawn chair sipping whatever retired guys in black socks and brown sandals sip. Sounds like September is the last shuttle launch so I thought this would be a good time to get these back on display. Now off to find the perfect pair of brown sandals.
Not sure how much exposure these got in print ads around the UK or at the event, but these posters by Tavis Coburn for last months BAFTA awards (British Academy of Film & Television Actors) are awfully nice. One for each Best Picture nomination. Kay as long as we’re on the subject, why do books turned movie always say Now A Major Motion Picture? Major? As opposed to what? God.
But these posters are sweet. Thanks Slashfilm and BlackBook.
Bill Mauldin’s cartooning career took him through World War II, the Civil Rights Movement and Vietnam, winning him two Pulitzer Prizes and a Purple Heart along the way.
A selection of his work has been screen printed onto t-shirts to raise money for The Soldiers Project, which focuses on giving free psychological treatment to soldiers going to and coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Oh, and if you want to know what I imagine my dad to have looked like around 1940, I refer you to the cowlick and smirk above.
