DK and I played an excellent party in Paris last weekend at a night called ‘Excuse my French’, great venue, people and awesome flyers too.

I suppose it had to happen sooner or later, better than the actual original posters too. By Olly Moss, riffing off the Olly Moss ideas of the original trilogy.
Traveling past London Bridge station today I spotted a huge banner of Olly Moss’ Resistance 3 design, two poster designs are below.
And here’s a great little trailer inspired by his designs too

These are pretty old now but lovely nevertheless – classic Olly Moss designs for Star Trek plus newer ones for Source Code and Moon

Remember the iconic artwork for the first Death Set record back in 2009? One of my favourite covers of the year and their new releases are high on the list for 2011 as well. Another blend of B&W collage with yellow and red, this time coming on like Richard Hamilton meeting Eduardo Paolozzi. Below are the album and singles, front and back, plus a tour poster I found featuring additional artwork. Buy ’em all here.
A couple of projects JG has been involved with recently have really caught my eye on the artwork front, both have a medical angle and lean on the black, white and red colour palette.
The first is Manorexia – ‘Dinoflagellate Blooms’, a double disc pack with X-rays and syringes. Click for larger versions. Buy it from JGT’s site here. It’s a double CD with regular and 5.1 surround sound version.
The second is a lovely 4 track 10″ under the name Hydrose Plus, a collaboration with Fred Bigot. The cover shows a face from a medical encyclopedia in profile but when you take the clear vinyl 10″ out of the sleeve you realise that the eyeball is printed on the label and fits perfectly into the eye socket on the front. Not only that but you also get an insert with the inside of the face cut away.
Buy it directly from the label here.
I found this in the Music & Video Exchange last summer, the packaging was intriguing enough for me to part with £1 for it. On closer inspection I noticed it was designed by Pete Fowler, I like the way he’s used the title as a springboard for the way it unfolds.
Having a hard drive clear out / clean up, things might get a little random this week…
Loved Skylab‘s output, some truly wonderful records made by Mat Ducasse with some help from Major Force West and Howie B along the way.
According to Ivan over at OnyxCube – the no.1 Mike Hinge resource on the web – Mike would have been 80 years old today. To celebrate he has all sorts of special treats that he’s dug up to show including typeface designs and memories of old friends so go and check his site out, it’s a goldmine.
Over here though I’ve got a lovely selection of images saved by my good friend Elisa from various lots on eBay that were auctioned around 2003 when his estate sold a lot of his work on. Amazingly she forwarded me a whole folder she recently found on a hard drive that she’d kept, she also won the Kiwifan 10 piece (included here left). The images aren’t great because they were taken by the auctioneer but I’ve tried to make them look as good as possible – thanks Elisa!
Love this Red Skull cover, don’t know who it’s by it’s by David Aja (thanks JB) – check his blog here for more. Here are a few more things from him in a similar vein. Nice to see comics quietly catching up on the graphic design side of things. I just found it whilst looking for something else, hmmm, 3 skulls in the last five posts.
Musically it’s not my bag but the cover is great, reminds me of Trevor Jackson‘s work for Soulwax a few years back. New 12″ ‘Black Waves’ EP on Civil Music.
Nice graphics on a French Border Control leaflet I picked up recently
So excited to finally be able to see this, I’ve been privy to some of the workings of this for the past year now (my wife works for them) and it opens this week in London at the National Maritime Museum. Part of a major new exhibition, although this will be a permanent installation, content-heavy video mapping based around the moon’s relationship to the sea, this is just a tiny part of it.

I was very excited to learn that Remi and Augustine were going to be painting a wall together in London whilst Kofie was in the UK taking part in a couple of exhibitions. Little did I realise that they would be painting a local pub on the high street of the neighborhood where I (and Remi) live. Said pub is the Bishop on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich, South East London and they spent two days in very changeable weather transforming the side of the building much to the surprise of the locals who don’t have anything like this round here. The first three images are by Timid, via Remi’s blog.
Here’s a selection of pictures I took this afternoon and there should be a timelapse film at some point in the future. Kofie is off back to the US tomorrow and Remi has a new mini book out of Selected Paintings as well as an EP of new tracks, available here.
