Artist profile: Oded Ezer

“I say something without saying anything.”  So it goes for Oded Ezer, a typographic experimentalist whose work is beyond inventive.  There are few individuals on this planet who push the boundaries of a particular craft.  Ezer is one of them and thanks to a new video profile on Gestalten.tv you too can be inspired by this fascinating artist.

MC Dry Cleaners

Fauxreel studios is a photo-based creative studio in Toronto, Canada.  They took this picture and to that I say there is nothing better than capturing the comedy of everyday life.

Not so perky news for Starbucks

World coffee dominators Starbucks announced this week plans to close 600 underperforming U.S. stores and cut up to 12,000 jobs, as it copes with an economic downturn and increasing competition.  Maybe they shouldn’t have opened a store on every street corner of every city in every state of every country in every continent of every planet in every solar system! And since you’re cleaning house, can you please do away with those pretentious names for cup sizes?  Small, medium and large work just fine, thanks.
