I've long been an open fanboy of
version industries and the works of
Caspar V. I also have the fortunate luck to consider him a friend so I've spoken to him at great length on how he approaches graphic design, film and generally being a contemplative creative person.
He recently shared some of those insights in this essay that was published in the David Carson book
The Rules of Graphic Design. The piece,
Am I wrong for trying to hold on to the best thing I ever had?, discusses the "rules" that Caspar sets up for himself when creating work. He doesn't discuss the specific rules he uses (because that's not the point) but rather focuses on the strength of constraints.
Caspar's work exists on a level of thoughtfulness that I will, personally, continue to strive for and it's nice to have this kind of referencable insight as to how he gets there.

It's a long read but this piece on
How Anna Delvey Tricked New York's Party People is completely fascinating. If (and when) this gets turned into a Netflix series, you'll be hooked. The background of Anna Delvey is still, somewhat, unclear but she was able to fool a lot of people into committing into large investments, free hotel rooms, lots of free
stuff and just generally hoodwinking the NY "elite" with her confidence. There's actual money involved as well, it wasn't all tricks but it's remarkable what she got away with and that she just assumed she'd never get caught.

a full collection from Mr Bryant. The patterned pieces are bonkers. Maybe not something I would wear but I love that they exist.

I'm not sure this
experiment worked. The site feels like a Tweetstream more than a blog of any sort. I may have to rethink my approach. Regardless, it made for a less stressful week while away so maybe I can consider this a future "Vacation Mode" of sorts. I'm rambling now.
Here are some videos, enjoy the grab bag:
- Ween - Buckingham Green (Live) - this clip of Ween on Public Access TV at the height of their cocaine abuse (I assume) is one of my favorite things. It's a slow but enjoyable build.
- Calling Chiquita - here's a disturbing yet adorable clip in which an alligator frolics like a doggo.
- Squish that Cat - if you don't know Dr. Burstyn, you're welcome. He's got some pro cat handling advice.
- Violet Chachki - A Lot More Me - This music video is eleven minutes long but manages to maintain a vibe that mixes elements of David Lynch, Dave LaChapelle, Wes Anderson, Marilyn Manson and John Waters. I'm kind of stunned by the whole thing.
- The Minds Eye - hearing someone lose their mind in guffawing laughter is always infectious.
- Deja Vu Compilation - it's 10 minutes of Deja Vu. It has diminishing returns but the first few minutes are a treat.
- Dissin Your Flygirl 3.0 - this is dumb but I still watched damn near all of it. I look forward to the ten-minute long 4.0.
That's it! Have a great weekend. Here's a
sloth yawning, it's unbelievably adorable.

This search is the same thing but with links/media, which is more interesting as a daily read. I like it better than the regular timeline now. https://t.co/IkMHyGUoX1

The new Oneohtrix Point Never album sounds like a Pure Moods CD run through a deep fried meme filter, but like in a good way.
