I saw a small part of a documentary about Ed Ruscha yesterday. The American artist is a living legend. Four decades with painting. Read his bio here. He implements typography in much of his work. Fine art with typography. -Inspiring.

Adios, 1967

Happycentro made this beautiful clay type illustration for New York Times Magazine.

See more pictures here.

One of the Cmykkel girls and her boyfriend, art dude and musician Tore Reisch, made an alphabet of pine a while back. Tore made a piece of art with it. Nice. I´ve been a Reisch fan since I first saw a painting by him, on a wall in Stallmesterveien in Trondheim back in ‘99. Cool to se local people play with type!

We have written about Jessica Hische and her super cool project; Daily Drop Cap some time ago here on HelloTypo™. Now she have made some sweet letterpress prints of selected letters. You can, and must, buy them over at her shop. BTW if you have been a HelloTypo™ follower a while, you´ve probably also seen these Hische designs before. Yes we love Jessica. Bookmark that girl A.S.A.P.

I stumbled over this sweet final project from newly graduated design student Patrycja Zywert. She says it best herself: This project is a typographic installation and a poster advertising the film about Norman Foster, titled‘How much does your building weigh, Mr. Foster?’. The idea is to express the aspects of Foster’s striking architecture by creating large geometric letters F, O, S, T, E and R. The installation also aims to become his architectural signature.

Two great and inspiring talks from one of our favorite sweeds Robert Lindström from North Kingdom and Spanish designers Alex Trochut & Marta Cerdà.

Aasmund and Alex preparing the equipment. Soon the magic begins.

Oh, yes. You better believe it. It is true. HelloTypo™ and friends delivers again. We have been so lucky that the Spanish wonder, mr Alex Trochut, have decided to pay us a visit. 3rd of july he and his talented girlfriend (and coworker) Marta Cerdà Alimbau are taking the podium and going to do a show&tell. We are so pleased that Alex and Marta is taking the trip up to the capitol of mustaches, Trondheim, to do a talk and drink Dahls with us. So in addition to the Typeface screening we now give you two sweet lecture holders. Lucky you!

Alex even made a teaser design for us.

Siggi Eggertsson is speaking at Visuelt dagene in Oslo tomorrow. If you are in the area, be there or be *drawing a square in the air*  (like Uma in Pulp Fiction did). He also updatet his site a few weeks ago. Loads of typography and other beautifulness. Check check check it out. Below you can see a rejected magazine cover he made. (why they rejected this I don´t know. Stupid.)

One of my favorite Norwegian designers Robin Snasen Rengård has made loads of sweet stuff. And this Rumble in Rhodos cd is filled to the rim with sweetness. Playful but tight. Love it. I urge you to check out his site. ASAP.

Got a tip from Marte to check out Rachel Thomas. Nice experimental type made with found objects or as the cupcake pillows whom I think she has made herself, I hope!
