Dan McCarthy's "While You Were Sleeping" print
Dan McCarthy has quite a selection of posters. art prints, and T-shirts over at his site. This new one of his, While You Were Sleeping, caught my eye in particular. I think it’s really terrific. It also seems like it would make a really great book cover.

Hammer icon
Ok, so I’m getting a little icon-crazy lately. I’ve been thinking about how the whole DIY “movement” has surfaced to mainstream media lately. I remember using that term for the first time back in my “skateboard-every-hour-of-the-day” period, referring to the duct tape ollie guard on the modified Airwalk hightops. Now there’s an entire network on cable dedicated to Doin’ It Yo’self. What kinda gets my goat is how selling DIY kits for various things are often just as expensive as a finished product.

Dogs of War — Mr. Rand & Mr. Morris
“Don’t shoot!” I cried. “Don’t copy!” exclaimed Mr. Rand. Unfortunately, they kept shooting and copying because evolution is a very slow process—you will most likely never see the benefits of it.

Happy birthday Chaz!
While most people in America “celebrate” Earth Day (think, neo-hippies in city parks, peace symbols, solar panels, and the color green), today I am celebrating the birthday of Charles Mingus. If it wasn’t for artists like him, as far as I’m concerned this planet just isn’t worth saving. I obviously never knew the man himself, but over the years have gotten to know him so to speak through his music and books. He seems to me one of those rare people who trancended his own discipline (a musician, a composer, a bandleader, etc.) and was is first and foremost an artist. Mr. Mingus has without a doubt left an indelible mark on everyone around him as well as many generations too come. He spoke out about the many injustices he faced in his life, stood firm in what he believed, loved more than he hated, and so on—a fantastic inspiration to anyone.
So, best wishes to you Charlie Mingus…happy birthday!

There’s plenty of really nice posters at the Eboy store as well.

Quatrifolio, Marian Bantjes
I just bumped into Marian Bantjes’ Quatrifolio and it rocked my socks off. I immediately recognized her style from Speak Up (another fantastic site). First off, what’s not to love about her work – with elements of classical typography, exaggerated “pixel art,” as well as good old-fashioned pen and paper sketching. Her type (letters, that is) has a life of its own – living, breathing, with a personality to boot. And those patterns are sick! ← that means really good.
She’s a terrific “anti-writer” as well. Many designers, myself included, get a little bogged down explaining your entire life in three extremely clever sentences for the purpose of charming the pants off that potential client we have yet to hear from. She handles it well by (kinda) not playing that game. Anyhow, why don’t you start clicking away and see for yourself while I start planning on how I am gonna run her fanclub!

2004 New Yorker of the Year: Wynton Marsalis
Art: Brian Morris
The closing of a finished year and arrival of a new one yields plenty of “Best of” lists – from films, music, people, etc. (The most depressing would have to be Time‘s Person of the year). However, I was really happy to hear on NY1 today that Wynton Marsalis has been awarded the New Yorker of the Year for 2004. Wow, that’s hot! I think Mr. Marsalis is well deserving of this honor. As a true Renaissance man, he’s got his hand in every pot in the kitchen and still manages to cook it all up with raw talent and impeccable style.
He’s won eight Grammy awards for his jazz and classical recordings, he was the first jazz artist ever to receive the Pulitzer Prize for music, and countless other awards and honors from all over the world.
As a composer, performer, teacher, and leader, he’s always managed to display his true love of America’s most endearing form of art – jazz music. You can tell he loves his craft, that he honors all the greats of the past as well as helping to pave a path for young, emerging jazz artists. For his talent and commitment, I have to agree that he makes one hell of a New Yorker of the Year!
