In 1530 you’d be burnt alive for such a confession

January 13th, 2010 Sea Captain Plonk E

But secretly I am waiting for Build, or, let’s say Toko to start using Comic Sans again. Very curious what will happen then.

Graffiti Analysis 2.0

January 7th, 2010 Sea Captain Plonk E

Wow, tagging in cyber space. Is there a purose? Not really I guess, but that doesn’t matter at all. Damn cool it is! Especially when Seen steps the stage. Hail, godfather of graffiti!

July 9th, 2009 Sea Captain Plonk E

Yes it is. Through some true font forensics a presumed authentic Sex Pistols flyer from 1978 that was up for auction at Christie’s was revealed as a fraud. Who guilty? Offcourse: The Comic Sans, which was not released until 1994… the bastard…

February 11th, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi

This robot, installed at the 3d International Biennial of Contemporary Art in Seville, writes down the whole bible. “The machine draws the calligraphic lines with high precision.

Quite nice: Ideographic Alphabet

January 25th, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
