All Because Of You
First Touch - All Because Of You
smooth times from germany.
Kinda fits the melty mood over here. Can’t quite get to full speed in the heat, plus that wobbly melty bass/gum holding you back.

Andre

I have a hard time believing that Andre/Mr. A is real. Like, his image/photo shoots just crack me up. Too suave and all that, like taking Zephyr’s steez to the french extreme. Probably also cause I grew up just knowing the goofy/fun art and not thinking he looked like THAT. I believe I first saw his stuff in middle school around the time of Os Gemeos‘ feature in 12 oz prophet, Saber’s LA river piece, and a couple years after losing my mind to Kaws’ stuff in Urb (with the invisbl skratch piklz on the cover i think).
Of course this is all basically concurrent with A-trak’s ascendency, so I had a pretty epic set of people I was stoked on at the time. Like my version of a peer’s favorite athletes. The heady days of 97/98/99.

Herb Lubalin…
a man, obviously pretty much in the lead for G.O.A.T status in terms of graphic design.
Lucky for us, a bunch of ‘new’ images can be found at So Much Pileup. Follow the link there to see the whole flickr set of Justin Kay’s explorations of the Herb Lubalin archive at cooper union.

My Primary Beef with Twitter
are entries like this:
“got my coffee…now off to do errands. LOL”
It’s not even that twitter banality that most people whine about, it’s that damn ‘LOL.’ Caps and all. And this person is like..in his mid 30s. Even my 7th and 8th grade students had better LOL-discretion. PGTFOOHWTB. And yes, I am still mad about LOL usage in 2009.
