Where Car Is King

Andrew Bush has compiled a drive-by photo essay documenting all types of people and their cars in action. Most photos were taken on California freeways and the subject matter ranges from pipe-smoking college professors to couples kissing in their car. His book is available for sale and makes for a great coffee table addition. [via Very Short List]

You Work For Them

Design educators, You Work For Them unveiled a gorgeous new website today. Make this your one-stop shop for cool fonts, books, shirts and more. I really wish storefronts like 2K by Gingham would adopt this ultra-clean e-commerce template. I’d be buying way more shirts!

Lifehacker spreads Holiday Matinee love

Lifehacker  is a must-read, daily blog that helps you get things done smarter and more efficiently. They recently posted an exclusive interview on how I started Holiday Matinee and worked with great bands such as Death Cab For Cutie, Bright Eyes and The Album Leaf. Thanks Kelly!

Design Concepts

Here’s an interesting concept that might one day find a home in the marketplace. It’s a mobile touch-screen that recognizes words or objects and provides mini wikipedia-like information. It’s a clean design and something I would totally use but would rather see this built into my iPhone as an app rather than carrying around another device. Props for a great idea though!  [via design you trust]

Bands named after animals

Great poster design by 33rpm.

World’s best kept auto secret

Want an easy way to know which side of the car your gas tank is on? The answer is staring you in the face. Look at the fuel gauge on your dash. You will see a small icon of a gas pump. If the handle on the gas pump extends to the left, then your tank is on the left side. If the gas pump is on the right, well you know how this ends. Enjoy.

The normality artist

London artist Jean Jullien can teach you how to carry your ideas or make super cool paper planes. He’s also on point with an incredibly impressive poster exhibition that mixes various print techniques, cut paper and ink on wall. It all feels very DIY and innocent. I dig it. 

Recycled fashion

Andrea Crews is a group of artists/ activists / fashion designers who specialize in the spontaneous design of cheerful clothing from rags. With your help they will transform piles of second hand clothing into fashion items.

Typography at the beach

Dutch artist Janno Hahn counts Thom Yorke and coffee on his list of likes. After seeing Hahn’s latest work, we’re going to add his name to our list of brilliant, creative typographers. Clever stuff via FFF.
