Launched on the eve of Tom’s SPACE PROGRAM: Mars, this joint venture between Tom and the Nike design team fuses, in several significant ways, the design sensibility Sachs brings to space travel. This video was directed by Van Neistat of HBO fame. |
Seen up close, Fields of Force by illustrator Andy Gilmore is surprisingly simple and geometric, but when seen as a whole, emotional and hypnotic. |
Lutz Bacher’s series of eighty-five prints entitled The Celestial Handbook, now on view at the Whitney Biennial, is obviously not a graphic design project. But the set of works, which are nothing more than framed pages from a forty-six-year-old, self-published book about astronomy, poignantly address the gap that sometimes occurs between the visual and verbal articulations of an idea—a gap that has both inspired and plagued the field of graphic design. |
I’ve long been a fan of The Scout and the videos they produce regarding the topic of craftsmanship. In their most recent feature they introduce us to the wood sculptor Josh Vogel of Blackcreek Mercantile & Trading Co. Of the many artists and craftsmen working today, Vogel’s work and ethos left a considerable impression on me. |
When I first encountered the work of Rafaël Rozendaal—a Dutch-Brazilian artist born in 1980, living and working everywhere—I was surprised by its
simplicity. He seemed to be transporting the humor, naivety and fantasy
of a child via a modern medium. However, when I met him in person, I got
to explore in-depth his amazing condensed view on the world that
surrounds us. |
