Stubled upon this letter mystery on Booooooooom today. If anyone of our readers is a up and comming Hercule Poirot, this is your chance. Solve this one and get eternal high fives from Shannon McCubbin (the artist) and us here at HelloTypo™.
A graffiti writer in Trondheim apparently hates typography for some reason.
A new year. A new blog post. A bunch of fun & found stuff. Ståles famous “Stumbled upon on a Saturday”.

Earlier this week Budstikka dropped the news (a bit to early, the writers was not quite done with it) about the world´s second largest piece ever. But Budstikka haven´t got all the inside info that one of Norways best and oldest rap groups, Gatas Parlament, got. Gatas Parlament loves graffiti. So they have posted a good long blog post about the pice on their site. I´ve stolen (with permission) some of the photos the rappers have taken. anyhow, back to the piece. The outline is made with over 250 liters of black paint. I love the work, an specially the ” can you see us from outer space?” sentence. :)

The worlds largest piece was made in LA last year (photo under). It was painted over this spring, so right now the FOS piece is the biggest in the world. (!)
I like type. I like graffiti. This is spot on for me. Nice work!
(What do you think?)

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!
