Hand drawn type from India

It’s impressive whenever you see someone hand draw a common typeface like Helvetica in accurate proportions. It’s stunning to see the hand drawn typefaces like those on the streets of India. Dig the flare and the “no rules apply” style. Not to mention the brightness, they make some of our billboards look so dull. The word “juice” makes you thirsty.

Found Via Random Specific

We are fans of Meena Kadri, her blog Random Specific,  her impressive photography and story telling of what typography, graphic design and signage is like in India. We were lucky enough to hear her speak at Design Assembly last year.

Get on your bike cart full of paint brushes and find a dusty wall.

We couldn’t get enough of Wellington during a weekend trip there recently. A couple of pics from a drizzly day poosling around Cuba street.

Thanks Wellington and all the crew who we hung out with down there. If your going there anytime soon, you must go to:

Bettys to soak up the vjing, chill in the wine cellar and spot a movie celeb or two (and have a drink of course)
Swonderful for some boutique fashion and accessories (the home of papercup)
Scopa for the best pizza in the country (emersons organic pilsner on tap too)
Fidels for a kick arse brunch (second to last picture)

Street Art from Europe

I’ve been traveling, below is a selection of street art I saw.

These are from Wuerzburg, Germany. Its a student town of about 140,000. Completely rebuilt after the war, it’s in Frankonian wine country, I worked on a vineyard nearby when I was living here in 2004 (pre endemicworld.com times). The street art seems to be stencil free and all brush and can.

Cut Collective + blank billboards = "Oh thats choice as bro"

Its a good day… blank billboards are getting painted over by the cut collective and then auctioned off for charity. 10 points Oggi, no points APN, 100 points Cut Collective.

ASKEW, Soho hole and Design Assembly

Last night was yet another successful design assembly put together by Louise Kellerman.

The speakers were so passionate about their topics, but the highlight for us was listening to ASKEW and the story about his life and in particular the soho hole in Ponsonby Auckland.

The soho hole was given a new life by ASKEW, see the full story at TMDcrew. We wish we went to the pool party. We hope it really does become a swimming pool.

AKL Street Art

One of our favourite AKL street artists has recently added this to Ponsonby Road. They should do this to all the billboards in the CBD.
