They are here! FINALLY!. It took some time (just imagine, from Halifax → Miami → Asunción) but it worth the wait. MAN this things are beautiful. Seriously I don’t think I can explain how detail, sharp and vivid this posters are. I’m still scratching my head trying to figure out what the heck did James used to print these. Anyway, a little less talk a little more action, Here are the pictures!

I just finished installing Umbra’s “Invisible Book Shelf that Floats Large Books” that I got in exchange for $ 16.50 on my last visit to Duke City. Man that was hard. While it does come with it’s own pair of screws, they are definitively not appropriate for the concrete walls on the studio, so I had to drill, use a plastic bracket first, and then screw the thingy to the wall.

Pentagram is already selling (like hot buns that is) their Classic Typographic 2008 Calendar which was designed using twelve typefaces designed by typographer Matthew Carter including Walker (originally designed in 1995 for the Walker Art Center), Snell Roundhand (a 1966 revival of 17th century English writing master Charles Snell) and Galliard (a 1978 anthology of Roman and Italian styles of French punch-cutter Robert Granjon). Hinrichs explains:
I wanted to bring a new awareness of typographic design through this calendar
The only way this calendar would look any cooler is if instead of hanging it on your walls you get a Mexican wrestler to walk around the office with it. I know we tried that in our Albuquerque offices but it didn’t work out cause Kenny believed it was Jack Black and tried to remove his mask all the time. Kenny that is.
The wrestler is still in our offices and he now goes by the name of Miguel.
