James Roper

Just surfed by this young artists website via #fffound and I was really blown away by the intensity of his paintings. They are all somewhat abstract, and I guess then it is kind of a rorschach test what you see.

house of darkness

My friend and collegue Jon(zero) Martin is currently looking for a place to buy, and one day I found an evil/ideal property for him. A great modern mansion deep inside the forrests of "Åmot", a few kilometers outside of the city of Skien. So when it was viewing most of the onezero went along to be supportive of Jon, and I took some photos.

The Designers Republic is fucking dead

Via twitter I just got the word that The Designers Republic is dead and gone. It feels very strange that one of the designstudios I admire the most is going under at the same time as my own designstudio has just completed its best year ever. I`m glad I had the chance of attending a conference with them a few years back. Since the source of this information seems to have been overwhelmed with traffic, I`m putting the entire news article here: "After 23 years of brain-aided communication, the much-admired, much copied studio, The Designers Republic closed for business on Tuesday. But, as its founder Ian Anderson tells CR, it will rise again All week, rumours have been flying around the internet that DR had gone out of business.

Stefan Sagmeister – design CAN make you happy!

This guy is the modern day godfather of graphic design.

David Carson – talking about graphic design
