Witty Italics

This says witty to me, a really difficult thing to get exactly right.

You can order them online at artschoolreject by emailing them directly. An interesting portfolio site as well.

Anyone for a game of mario?

Very very very coolio. Nothing more.

Swiss Legacy

A really engaging blog on typography primarily by Swiss designers but does an encompass other parts of Europe as well. Quite a bit of stuff on the legendary typographer Wim Crouwel - I think hes done some amazing work personally.

Also an interesting layout for the blog - very Swiss.

Kitty-Craft fabrics

Check out some of the cool printed fabrics on offer at Kitty-Craft. Might have to pur-chase some for a few wee projects and book binding things. Delivery isn't too bad considering.

Benice2mice - Crochet Food

Very very very cool. I don't know much about this item apart from being sent it from Dan at my last work experience - kudos Dan. Hopefully I'll find out a little more about their construction at a later date when I get round to emailing the person behind them.

They look pretty amazing and so tactile - they really remind me of the Blur video Coffee and TV (amazing and well worth watching, see the end of the post) and a bit of the opening titles of Napoleon Dynamite (again see end of post). From my very little knowledge of crochet they look very detailed and must be reinforced with some skeleton - make me really want to know how to do them though - can't be that hard being a fairly good knitter.

Hopefully I'll have more news at a latter date and maybe post some more of my knitted stuff? We'll see.

For the more lazy creatives...

For the more lazy creatives among us, Scrapblog lets you create interactive scrapbooks for just about anything using the intuitive online interface. Though its a bit cheesy and by no means a substitute for a good old fashioned cut a paste book of your latest excursion or exploration on the high seas, its a nice little web app that plug in to plenty of web 2.0 sites such as facebook and flickr make it a quick and easy task - even better there no registration required and once your done you can email it to friends or publish it on your blog. I think it's defiantly one for the web 2.0 lovers who don't quite get the same enjoyment of peeling PVA off your fingers.

Real life Kwik-E-Mart - CA

This is a pretty coolio PR stunt for the imminent release of The Simpsons movie release in the USA. Wish I was going to CA sometime soon. I think my brother is going to be in that neck of the woods soon so maybe I can get him to take some photos/videos if he goes.
