The Whitest Boy Alive

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

One of the bands I found aurally pleasing at Roskilde this year was The Whitest Boy Alive, they are fronted by Erlend Øye of Kings of Convenience fame. Here is the promo for their ‘Golden Cage’ track, illustrated by Geoff Mcfetridge. The promo is kind of dull looking with nice drawings, it sounds good though :)

5oup

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

It’s true to say in 2004 when I was finishing my degree the internet wasn’t so communitytastic as it is now. So today in 2007 it’s great to find 5oup, an online community for student artists, which on the surface looks like a healthy mix of graphics, fine art, interactive and illustration. Its graduation time right now and all the design blogs are featuring student portfolio’s, from those I have had a quick glance at - Mr.Robert Holmkvist’s graphic design abilites have impressed me the mostest!

UPSOD is back

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

Upsod returns to our screens with v13. For those who don’t know Upsod is the design diary of American Illustrator Dustin Amery Hostetler whose portfolio is here.

Spotting this has got me reminiscing about the good old times with Public Therapy, a typography diary of sorts my friend Nic put together when we were at University. Who is up for the PTO revvial then!?
