Totally floored by impressive branding project for Haus der Kunst by Base. Check out that dynamic logo! Brilliance.
identitydesigned.com/haus-der-kunst/ Vincent Junier’s assemblage sculptures are incredible. Modernism + Memphis style + Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, maybe?
vincentjunier.tumblr.com/post/482725035… Totally envious of these vinyl collages by Kirra Jamison. Vibrant, chaotic. Jean Arp + Miro + spring fashion colors?
kirrajamison.com/LOCOMOTOR Kinda want to talk about anything but industry buzz and billions of dollars. So, here we go: MONDAY ART!

frankchimero.com/blog/2010/05/t… Kinda bummed to be missing Brimfield today.
Also, this article by Alexandra Lange on Donald Judd’s House is greatness:
newyorker.com/online/blogs/c… Buy stuff from the corner hardware store, put it on your wall, and when asked, say “It’s a Duchamp.” He would have liked that.
Google Docs why do you have page breaks; you are a computer screen; go home you are drunk.

A script for making things with other people. Say:
• “Depends”

Saul Bass story: Was told he'd immediately make the proposed logo, then have his designers do in-between marks, leading to his as the final.
More fun Saul Bass trivia: in 1980, he was commissioned by Robert Redford to make a film advocating solar energy.
m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=70Y7… Happy 93rd, Saul Bass! To celebrate, I say we watch his short film, Why Man Creates.

At the studio:
@globalmoxie tests on multiple tablets. Devices stacked, falling off his desk. It’s a metaphor for the messy web or whatever.
