Great line of graphics from the almighty Pentagram for the London Design Festival 2011.

This piece of street art done by Boris Hoppek is a little bit hoooo and a little bit heeeey.

Nice sculptures made by Etienne Gross.

These are slightly more faster to make then the ones you cut out in marble, I guess.

But if there was a Nobel Prize for lame-assness, this guy would earn it.

I do like these Lego word puzzle ads.

I gots to get me one of those pink Eric Roberts lunchboxes. And that Gran Torino one is also nice.

It’s that exciting time of the year again. Incubate is coming up. This highly respected Dutch festival in our hometown Tilburg starts on Monday and lasts for the whole week. We are so damn siked that our Incu-homies Joost, Frank, Vincent and their skilled team came up with this killer line up. Makes me feel good and proud to be one of the head sponsors of this event.

Ok, what’s there to see and do? Well, too many things to mention actually. The leading theme for this year is  ‘We Are Incubate”. So expect a lot of projects, pieces, lectures, music, dance that will be made/done ‘together’ by artists, musicians, the public, you, me. You get the deal.

To name a few things where you definitely will be seeing this old chap hanging around:

New Jacks, The Fall, Deadelus, Omar Souleyman, Open Source Expo, Play me I’m Yours, Han Bennink, Nosaj Thing, Battles, Glen Hansard, Steve Ingorant, Klaus Beyer, Bill “KLF” Drummond, Ben UFO, Theo Parrish, Man From the South, Motor City Drum Ensemble, EMA, Jackmaster, Zoviet*France… And the list goes on and on. This is only problaby 3% of the total line up so please go and check it out for yourself right here.

See you all there mates!

Are very talented Dutch graphic designers as you can see for yourself by looking at those posters.

Dig through their work here and here.

Nice font. Too bad you can’t purchase it on Fontshop.

Liquid Type in Motion. Done by Ruslan Khasanov. More here.

Waaaaaaaaaaaay better.

After that Things Organised Neatly blog becoming quite a hype, it seems not a bad idea to make a book about this. Swiss artist/comedian Ursus Wehrli did just that.

BTW: We are back from our holidays where we did not do all too much, as you can see here. Now ready to post more regularly again!

Gotta love these dog portraits by Carli Davidson.

Great project by this Berlin fella called Sweza. With mixed hipness like street art, QR codes, Apps and Youtube he finds a way to spread his beats around.

Nifty!

It would be best that what these brave people did, would prevent that there will be any veterans again in the future. Small chance.

Nice series of photo’s by Konstatin Suslov though.

Is the name of this project by Gillian Lambert.

Pretty!

Really hard to choose one best track out of the repertoire of the Fall, but it’s gotta be this one from Extricate, to me their best album.

So siked that they’re playing at Incubate 2011!

(Thanks guys at Incubate and thanks E10 for reminding me this one)

There’s still hope people. There’s still hope…

Very cute little film about a kids soccer team who cannot seem to score one single goal, but they actually do not really care that much.

Keep on smearing, you pretty girlies out there!

Project done by Dutch duo Lernert & Sander.

A group of Swedish treasure hunters called Ocean Explorers, looking for old shipwrecks, stumbled upon something made of rock, steel or something else made of hard material (”Something massive out there…”). Hidden in the seabed at 87 meters deep in the Baltic sea, somewhere between Finland and Sweden, a circle with a 60 meter diameter emerged on their screen. It had a 300 meter slide track as if it had traveled across the sea bed before it settled.

The annoying thing about these things is that we now probably have to wait months, years maybe, before they’ll find out what it is.

The story appeared yesterday in the Swedish newspapers.

Cause this little piece of film says it all!
