10 Things I’ve enjoyed this week
Bikini Kill – The Singles [Full Album] – YouTube
So Rad. So Angry. So Fun! Enjoy
1UP – ONE WEEK WITH 1UP – THE SHORT FILM – YouTube
I love this so much. I had the Subway Art and Street Art books as a kid. I used to pour over them tracing them and trying to develop my own styles. It’s awesome to know that Martha Cooper is still running and gunning and capturing true writers getting up. This shit is amazing. The “at station stop” whole car they destroy at 6 minutes is INSANE!
Accueil | Prends l’air – Beautiful Design Aesthetic!
Beautifully crafted french website to do with mindfulness and self-care. While I can’t read the text I lo9ve, love love the aesthetic.
The Iron Maiden Royal Mail stamp design is first class
I think it’s ace that even with a Tory government, there is room to celebrate Maiden on National Stamps. Another thing I loved as a kid was Eddie T. Head. I can still remember my Power Slave poster.
Nexen Electric Bar System- How to Use Video – YouTube
I have long thought that the power plug standard is due for disruption. Don’t get me wrong, Standards are good. But the powerboard/plug standard we have settled with is lame!
Loving Humane by Design
Writings on ethical design practices when creating digital products and websites. Particularly feeling the piece on intentional design and the long-term effects of our design decisions.
Inversion: The Power of Avoiding Stupidity
Avoiding stupidity is easier than seeking brilliance. Rather than thinking about how can we foster innovation in our brand, you might look at the problem by inversion, in which case, you’d think about all the things you could do that would discourage innovation. Ideally, you’d avoid those things. Sounds simple right? Love it!
How 1950s bombsites became adventure playgrounds for kids
A very different kind of play than the sterilised, rubberised concrete versions of playgrounds we have today.
Juxtapoz Magazine – The Beastie Boys Gave Us Permission to Grow, and EXHIBIT Tells the Story
It’s OK to not be the same person today that you were when you were younger. A different kind of Growth Mindset. Looks like a rad exhibition. Wish I could go 🙁
Iggy Pop on his mother’s love – Austin Kleon
Mums are the best. This short piece is a nice reminder to be a rad parent.
Big Love 2023!
