Went to the Cleveland Museum of Art and took a bunch of really bad photos of one of the really cool installations that @theowatson.bsky.social and his studio Design I/O worked on. It was super fun to play with. The other installation was down for maintenance. (I was in town for Earthquaker Day)

So very upset that Penguin delivers book covers that look like this in the UK, but in USA & Canada we get the most generic stock art and (possibly AI) slop covers they can bang out.

10 books from a recent Penguin Science Fiction collection featuring black and white minimalist illustration with book titles in purple coloured typography. Reminiscent of 1950s & 1960s Penguin cover design.5 books from the recent Penguin Weird Fiction series featuring 1970s Ligne Clère-esque illustrations with contrasting typography.

I'm a boy with a job again. Abandoning all my possessions, walking off into the forest, and becoming a bog vvitch is gonna have to wait a bit longer. Design agency life maintains a tight grip on me.

A screenshost from the mockumentary television show "What We Do In The Shadows" featuring the character Colin Robinson staring directly into the camera. There is in-universe, on-screen text identifying the character as Colin Robinson. The closed captions are enabled and read as"[Colin] So, full disclosure: I am back in the workforce."

I decided to do some fun psychedelic typography (cuz it looks rad) for the cover of this month's copy of @unwinnable.com. @fawnrelic.bsky.social did a killer painting for the cover and left enough space for fun design. Anyway, this issue is full of awesome stuff and neat things that you'll enjoy.

The problem is not Kickstarter. The problem is groups like Collective Shout harassing payment processors into banning adult content. Payment processors are slow and risk averse machines and banning adult content is the easiest path. Stripe (KS's pp) has a ban on adult content.

How do we bring this attitude to the Canadian federal Liberal Party and Mark Carney? I would also like to live in a "no austerity cuts" place.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 3mo ago

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Omg. There’s a new Susanna Clarke book. Omg. It’s a Jonathan Strange prequel-thing. Omg. Omg. Omg. *hyperventilates right into the ground*

A month ago @taylorlorenz.bsky.social wrote this excellent piece on gross dudes making apps to shame women. The last lines asks for someone to “develop a [tool] to calculate the number of orgasms these men have achieved for women. They can call it Orgasm Counter.” So I did. www.orgasmcounter.com

The VFX and both Animation categories were absolutely stacked with must-watch bangers. Love that both animation winners come from Canadians. VFX this year? Mind-bogglingly good. Holy moly. Hair & makeup? get outta here. Costume design? what even.
