Wieden + Kennedy 12, an experimental advertising school run by Portland ad agency W+K, is responsible for buying out all available clear push pins on the west coast of the US. Over 100,000 thumbtacks were used over 351 hours to create a wall mural that spells out Fail Harder, a message that underlines the importance of failure during the creative process.

Letterpress Poster Printing from Joshua Gerken on Vimeo.
I miss doing this. The ink in your finger nails, the feel of the type, the sound of the ink touching the paper, there is no better high as far as printing goes, and I mean that in every sense of the way.
If you are a print designer and haven’t experience the beauty that is letterpress I suggest you get right to it.

As part of their design for the YCN Book 0809 Hudson Bec introduced an over-arching concept to help explain who YCN are and what they do. To see more photos of the making of the world, have a look here.

Legoland California is featuring a Lego version of Barack Obama’s inauguration as 44th president of the United States. How cool is that? Lego simply makes life better. To view more images of Legobama click here.

Burlesque of NA’s obama test prints
OMG Posters! reports that Burlesque of NA will be selling a bunch of Obama test prints. They are all 20″ x 26″, and will be priced at $75-$300. They will go on sale tomorrow 30 October, at 2pm CST. Visit BurlesqueDesign.com to order.
Burlesque Design has decided to offer up a bunch of Barack Obama related test prints for sale online. In case you didn’t know, Burlesque did the printing for the entire Upper Playground Obama print campaign, almost 20 designs total, so there will be a lot of variety.
Has anyone else noticed an obsession with test prints in the poster art community? Its a cool concept, but it leaves me wondering how planned they are. At some point, does the artist stop layering ink onto a test print because it looks ‘finished’? If so, does it matter?

According to POW, “Vhils walks the streets of his native Portugal and takes pictures of homeless people, he turns these into oversize silkscreens and prints the images onto thick art paper with a concoction of household bleaches and then dribbles ink over them.” Read more. →

I was browsing around Flickr today searching for some pixel art inspiration for a new tattoo idea and ran across a beauty inspired by Craig Robinson’s minipop drawings on flipflopflyin.com. We were lucky enough to interview Craig or Fill/Stroke last summer.
This adaptation was made by Ruby Khan.
It contains 45 different figures; 99 individual people and one happy little tree accompanying Bob Ross.
