I have been staring at this animated gif for the last 5 minutes. Fascinating. How a Sewing Machine Works.

This Sandwich Shop Identity made me chuckle. La Charcuterie is a deli/restaurant hybrid well known around Vancouver for serving up sandwiches filled with deli meats. To play off this, business cards were created to look like cold cuts then were strung in netting similar to the way salami’s and other cured meats are hung in delis. Finally, Rethink printed meat stickers for the letterhead and envelopes made of butcher paper— the same paper they wrap their sandwiches in.

How incredibly powerful is this Power To The Poster series by Micah Max? I certainly would tear off a few of the patience ones, hoping it would rub off on me. (via bblinks / via designmilk)

Anne-Karin Furunes’s gigantic piece took my breath away for a second. The lady at the Gallery Anhava Booth told me that the Norwegian painter is known for her works employing perforation technique. Based on photographs, these pieces have a black or white canvas perforated by the artist in imitation of the screen of a photograph. One the one hand, Furunes’s works are paintings dwelling in light, while on the other hand they express the authenticity and intensity of early beautiful monochrome photographs. I learned that this large-scale portrait, pictured above, was made specifically for Art Basel 09. Stunning.

I was gasping for air when I discovered Heather Lin’s Numbered Napkins. Print beautiful type on pretty much anything and I’ll rejoice.

Houseindustries developed this beautiful, compact set of 12 Neutraface Slab alphabet blocks that will transmit subliminal stylistic messages to both young impressionable minds or the odd dolt whose narrow view of typography is defined by a partial screening of the Helvetica movie.
