One of my favourite artists, ABOVE, just did this sweet, clean and to the point piece in Johannesburg (South Africa).
How did ABOVE get permission to do this wall piece. Well, here is what he did in his own words:
“I was able to get away with this diamond wall heist because I told the owners I would paint in big letters “Diamonds are a woman’s best friend” on the exterior of their building. The owners loved the idea and all quickly agreed.
The next day I had started painting but what the owners didn’t know is that I lied to them and was hijacking their wall. Like any premeditated robbery, situations are not what they seem and shit can flip from best friends to worst enemies in a few moments.
I assume the owners were too busy trading diamonds inside the mega centre they never took the time to come out and see I was painting a controversial word play about the diamond trade and how it’s fueled so much bloodshed in wars making it one of man’s worst enemies”
I like the way he flipped the coin on the owners. Clever. More (other) work from ABOVE: » Read more
Our friend Remi just finished some amazing wall decorations for Carat. Remi states on his Behance account: “I was asked to help with the redecoration and decoration at the office of Carat, a large media-agency in Oslo. The project included decorating 5 walls, one large illustrative, two typography related, and two with a mix of typo and illustrations. The brief was rooted in the phrase “Redefining media”, and my take on it.” I think Remi solved this one super nicely. Popping typography with awesome details. Lucky Carat people.

We´re sendeing three of our club members (Trond, Aasmund and Ståle) to hold an typography workshop at the design conferense Visuelt. So if you love to play with type, understand norwegian and are in Oslo the third of May, be sure to join in. It will be fun!
Stumbled upon this sweet project via Twitter. The project is made by Txaber, a designer based in Bilbao, Spain. He has experimented with angles to produce Cubist typography with a strong wood finish. Read more about the project over at Design Taxi.
TTC (Trondheim Type Club) started out in 2008 by Aasmund Hegglid and Trond Aslak Øvrum. The idea was made in 2007 as something we missed in our town. A breeding place for type-fanatics.
We are now a group of people with relations to the design/advertising industry in Trondheim, Norway.
We all have passion and love for typography, and want to share our ideas, inspirations and knowledge with everyone. Kern or die!
