Sound artist Florian Hecker will be at Ikon Eastside from 27 May – 20 June.  I love his dark, ambiguous soundscapes. If his previous output of electronic music with the likes of Aphex Twin is anything to go by this should be great.

Anyone else think the Old Spice advert by W+K is rather funny? It was all done in one take and took over 50 attempts to shoot it.

Mezzetty hits in with another work update and a rather nice site refresh. Sexy, sophisticated and esoteric, the work of Mezzetty really intrigues me. He also seems to have recently photographed Deluka who are a great band, go check them out!

Not long now till Not My Type ( An out of character experiment ) hits the Created in Birmingham shop in the Bullring. For those who didn’t know already Not My Type is a typographical exploration of 26 letters by 26 different illustrators, designers and artists, all displayed as one alphabet.

There are letters by Family, I Love dust, Jon Burgerman, FLUID and a whole host of other creatives (including me!). So pop down tomorrow between 6 and 8 and say hello.

I’m loving the clean, minimal and humorous illustrations of Robbie Porter. I can see this guys work being used lots for editorial work and fashion. Threadless anyone?

I have just ordered this beautiful type specimen from House Industries for their typeface Eames Century Modern. Order yours here. It is worth it for the envelope alone.
