Alex Carleton Interview : NY Mag
Alex Carleton, owner of Rogues Gallery and creative director at L.L. Bean Signature, was recently interviewed by New York Magazine.
"NY Mag: What kind of person wears your designs?
AC: Anybody who appreciates classics. It's important to me that Rouges Gallery and L.L. Bean have longevity. That's very much how I think when I’m designing: something that you could pull out of a chest in fifteen years and still be able to pull off."

Mississippi John Hurt
Mr. John Hurt was one of the most influential country blues guitar players of his time. He sang in a sweet, almost whisper like style which was the perfect compliment to his amazing bare finger picking. The video below is a live session performing his song "You Got To Walk That Lonesome Valley". More photos after the jump.
Bob Noorda Is Dead at 82
Just after my last post on typography I saw this NYT article about the passing of Bob Noorda. "Bob Noorda, an internationally known graphic designer who helped introduce a Modernist look to advertising posters, corporate logos and, in the 1960s, the entire New York City subway system, died on Jan. 11 in Milan, his adopted city. He was 82." Bob's best known work in the United States was for the M.T.A. signs in New York City which all of us New Yorkers still see everyday.“"Don't bore the public with mysterious designs”Mr. Noorda once said." A few images to remember Mr. Noora by:

Machotaildrop Trailer
Machotaildrop is co-written and co-directed by first-time filmmakers Corey Adams and Alex Craig.
"Machotaildrop is a highly visual and fantastical journey about an amateur skateboarder, Walter Rhum, who realizes his dream of turning pro and riding for the world’s greatest skateboard company… Machotaildrop. Set in an anachronistic time and place, Machotaildrop is the greatest skateboard company of its day and the regal and grand sport of skateboarding has been thriving for many generations. Walter’s journey serves as a window through which we discover the dark underbelly of what appears at first to be a benign skateboard company"
Featuring Rick McCrank and John Rattray
