Midgoods

posted July 31, 2015 #

The fine folks at Monkey Ink Design have rebranded and relaunched themselves as MID Goods. They're still making the same incredible work but under a more straightforward name. To prove they haven't lost a step, they've unleashed their State Print Series, a wonderful collection of state outlines paired with their state flowers. They also have a number of Art Prints and Gig Posters but those State Prints... that's going to take them to the next level. Expect to see them flooding your Pinterest soon*.

Follow them on Instagram to get the goods early.

*this is not meant as snarky, I honestly can't imagine them not blowing up there

Knock Off Toy Collection

At this point in the Internet, you've likely seen tons of knock off toy galleries but take a moment to visit this Dangerous Minds ones and enjoy the likes of Space Wars, Special Man and Spook Chasers. Sure, you've seen the likes of these before but what's wrong with a pleasing refresher course?

Return of Wilderness

posted July 30, 2015 #

Back in April, Makeup and Vanity Set released Wilderness through Telefuture Records and my own YK Records. The double vinyl version sold out fast. We started a repressing job but it's taken until now to get them back in our hands.

If you haven't heard the album, you can hear it in the embed above or on any of your favorite streaming services. However, the vinyl version is a beautiful thing to hold. Literally, it's gorgeous. The artwork from Caspar Newbolt at Version Industries is such an excellent pairing with the music within.

If you missed your chance the first time, please do yourself a favor and go pick up the second pressing. There won't be another!

Randy Martin

Really enjoying the photographic works of Portland's Randy P Martin. The few images I've chosen for this post all share a similar ambiguity in their presentation of their subjects but he has quite a bit of diversity. I really love the entirety of his series Miniatures and On The Road. If composition is everything, Mr. Martin has it all.

Styleguide

Enjoying this new Tool from HUGE for creating and maintaining Styleguides. I've really only had much interaction with Corporate Styleguides and they are so overly in-depth that they actually surpass the line of being helpful. But documentation is helpful, especially in the visual world. I've always enjoyed the Mailchimp UX System and it seems like this tool could help just about anyone quickly and easily whip that up.

Talking With Hands Birthday

posted July 29, 2015 #

On this day in 2013, the debut album from Talking with Hands was released on my own YK Records. The album, The World and Ourselves, is an incredibly tight package of explosive pop.

If you're a fan of the likes of Jason Falkner, Jellyfish, Nilsson and their ilk, I am positive you will enjoy the album. You can start to dive in with this simple video for Alasseo or, if you're the kind with children, connect with Newborn Friends.

Not a Bandcamp fan? Hear it on Soundcloud, Rdio or Spotify. Oh, or Apple Music.

Anatomy Of Trump

posted July 29, 2015 #

Congratulations to Sideshow Sign Co for busting out with this equal parts absurd and impressively designed Anatomy of a Trump roll-down. The "Hair System" detail inset is my favorite detail but "Hair Bone" and "Clown Stick" run a close second. Satire is a powerful tool, especially when done this well.

Humanity Design Pack

posted July 29, 2015 #

The image doesn't sell it as well as it should (intentionally, I'm sure) but the Cards Against Humanity Design Pack looks like a superb collection of offensive words illustrated beautifully. Look at the Jez Burrows card or the ShawnaX card for a better example of what to expect. It's only $10 and proceeds go to benefit the Chicago Design Museum. Win win.
