Zimoun focuses on creating installations and sound sculptures, usually in connection with mechanical features, movement and physically generated sounds. His creations are graceful, mechanically harmonized works of poetic playfulness - simple yet complex, the result of repetitions with slight irregularities caused by routine and coincidence.
At a time in history when the print industry is pouncing from one space-age technological advancement to the next, Nick has decided to take a giant leap backwards into the industrial revolution.
Meet the Kluge letterpress. An 2,000 pound, cast iron, electric powered monstrosity of vacillating rods, giant spinning wheels and pneumatic hoses. The Kluge is Nick's weapon of choice in his battle against the future. So why does Nick use the Kluge? A clearly outdated, cumbersome ando bsolete machine? The same reason any craftsman uses any tool: for the quality of the finished product. A letterpress offers a tangible, three-dimensional look and feel to the printed image that no other technology can replicate. Let Nick take you on a trip back in time as he runs through the process of turning an ordinary piece of paper stock into work of art. via Northern Lights on Vimeo.
No idea why I didn't upload this earlier, but this is one of the most used items that I carry around, usually as a planner. Its uses are endless, and its durability is legendary (backed by an unconditional lifetime warranty) it includes an expandable folder and features the classic black oilcloth-bound cover, durable thread-bound binding, and a handy elastic closure. And well, if they were good enough for Hemingway and van Gogh, then they're surely good enough for us pedestrians.
Moleskine® notebook is the heir and successor to the legendary notebook used by artists and thinkers over the past two centuries: among them Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Bruce Chatwin. A simple black rectangle with rounded corners, an elastic page-holder, and an internal expandable pocket: a nameless object with a spare perfection all its own, produced for over a century by a small French bookbinder that supplied the stationery shops of Paris, where the artistic and literary avant-gardes of the world browsed and bought them. A trusted and handy travel companion, the notebook held invaluable sketches, notes, stories, and ideas that would one day become famous paintings or the pages of beloved books.
Today, Moleskine brand is synonymous with culture, travel, memory, imagination, and personal identity--in both the real world and the virtual world. It is a brand that identifies a family of notebooks, journals, diaries, and innovative city guides, adapted to various functions. With the diverse array of page formats, Moleskine notebooks are partners for the creative and imaginative professions of our time. They represent, around the world, a symbol of contemporary nomadism, in close connection with the digital world, through a network of websites, blogs, online groups, and virtual archives. With Moleskine, the age-old gesture of taking notes and doing sketches --typically analogue activities-- have found an unexpected forum on the web and in its communities.
Yes, it was supposed to look like that....But because of my inadequate coding skills, I was not able to fit all the images without one ending up on another line. I did not want to re-size the images either so I removed the far right image and settled for less. What I was hoping to do was link each of the sticker images to one of my profiles. I did that by merely cutting the image into several large pieces. The problem having such a large image is that empty "white" areas also become hyperlinked. Does anybody know how I could fix this issue?
Last week my inbox popped with an invitation to the preview of Typekit, a technology platform that hosts both free and commercial fonts in a way that is incredibly fast, smoothes out differences in how browsers handle type, and offers the level of protection that type designers need without resorting to annoying and ineffective DRM. After setting up an account and looking around, I realized that I would not be able to use it until I set up another blog platform, or until Posterous enabled JavaScript.
Anyways, recently there have been a few blogs that have been giving away invites to Typekit in the form of a contest. Here is where I come in. I have 5 invites. If you want one please just leave a comment with your email (I will delete your comment once ive sent an invite). Or @reply me. (no contests, first come first serve.)
