Shepard Fairey was on Charlie Rose’s Real Talk on Monday. They go into his influence on the Obama campaign, and then some of his past politically driven work. I really can’t say anything negative about this man’s work, nothing but love here. Go check it out.

ARM YOURSELF with a slouchy bag.

So I am officially out of holiday hiatus. It’s a good thing we have Raine to keep the momentum going on the Blaahg! Here is a little something from Saks. They recently re-branded and I think we should get out our furry Russian hats and celebrate the fantastic design. The re-branding was done [...]

Just found this portfolio on Behance and was delighted by some of the typography in it. Fun colours, fun shapes by Luis Vicente Hernandez. And its even cooler because it’s all in Spanish. Check it out: here’s his behance portfolio and here’s his site.

OH MY GOODNESS. I want this. Immediately. It would be so delightfully satisfying to pop once you completed a day, especially when if it was a particularly heinous day or one with a scary first date.

Originally from here, but then found here, these are amazing ads that are apparently on the seat trays of Malaysian Airlines! Sweet! I especially love the rockclimbing one. Maybe it’s because rock climbing in Thailand actually looks like that, although you’d be in shorts instead of pants because its too hot in pants.

Posted by: Raine, via Under Consideration’s Brand New
A new book that I absolutely must own! But with my current lack of finances, maybe I’ll just settle for sneaking a peek at in the bookstore. (Although at $17.33 on Amazon.ca it’s actually super affordable!)
The Under Consideration guys (Byrony Gomez-Palacio and Armin Vit) have put this what [...]

its time for holiday design!
Posted by: Raine, via
I love the holiday season. Maybe a little too much. It’s just that there’s something about lights and snow and cookies and copious amounts of home-cooked meals that makes it great.

Posted by: Raine
I was perusing my del.icio.us today and came across this business card blog that I had obviously bookmarked somewhere along the line. I almost feel like the best part is the title… OMG It Even Has a Watermark! Here are a few of my favourites:
Anyway, it seems like it’s a relatively new site [...]

Update: I think actually this is via drawn.ca. Kottke is still a great blog though.
Check out this cool movie cover! I think I may have come accross it via kottke, but I can’t actually remember and don’t really feel like searching my oft-visited sites right now for the answer, so sorry if it [...]

Exciting news!! As I was casually surfing the internet this evening I came across this book that some of us would like to add to our libraries. When I saw it I totally jumped out of my seat and got really excited. Then I sat back down, realizing what a geek I am. [...]
