Banksy’s latest exhibition opens tomorrow in Bristol. Here’s a preview. Following is my favorite piece from the pictures I’ve seen thus far. Jealousy ensues.

This exhibition will explore the varied new uses of felt—an ancient material, believed to be one of the earliest techniques for making textiles. Made by matting together wool fibers with humidity and friction, felting requires little technological expertise and is an extremely versatile material. The exhibition will begin with historic examples of felts, showcase innovations in handmade felts, and feature contemporary uses of industrial felt in a range of fields, including product design, fashion, architecture, and home furnishings. The exhibition is being organized by Susan Brown, assistant curator, Textiles.
Yet another reason to love the Design Museum.

Behind the scenes studio visit with FAILE
Last week Mark posted about FAILE’s upcoming show “lost in glimmering shadows” at Lazarides Gallery in London. Manuel Bello from FECAL FACE DOT COM was reportedly lucky enough to be blindfolded and led to FAILE’s undisclosed studio locations.
The dewds from FAILE have been up to their old tricks again and added a big-ass bag of new ones. I have been pretty fixated on these guys work for some years now and every time I feel like they can’t impress me any more, they do. I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to swing by their undisclosed studio locations and pretty much get the run of the place while they dialed in the last minute details of their London schooling.

If you’ve ever had the impression you were unique, I’ve got a project to share with you.
Exactitudes kicked off 14 years ago when Rotterdam-based photographer Ari Versluis and stylist Ellie Uyttenbroek noticed that their city’s youth were expressing their mass nonconformity by wearing nearly identical outfits. (The name is a mash-up of exact and attitude.) The project grew exponentially from there — you’ll meet tattoo babes, grannies, punks, and preppies — and its excellent website now includes subjects from London and Paris. (They, too, look eerily alike.) The overall effect is cool but disconcerting: Isn’t this how Invasion of the Body Snatchers began? (Via VSL)

Faile are returning to their early aesthetic influences growing up in the Southwest by channeling appropriated Pop cultural renderings of American Indian culture into their trademark heavily layered work in a pointed commentary on “the expanse of contemporary commercialism at the expense of society’s connection with nature and spirit.”

Postage stamps by type designers
The Offices of Kat Ran Press present a series of postage stamps designed by Neville Brody (pictured above), Wim Crouwel, Adrian Frutiger, Eric Gill, Erik Spiekermann, Hermann Zapf and the like.
Although a field that is often overlooked by bibliophiles and historians of printing and typography, several of the most important contributors to twentieth century book and letter arts have made significant contributions to the design of the seemingly modest postage stamp.
Its not every day I get a chance to say: I would be honored to lick nearly anything on this site.
