Patrick Hruby


Patrick Hruby is an interesting Illustrator, illustration isn't exactly my thing, but type is, and he uses his obvious skill to create some really nice illustrative typefaces, check out the rest of his portfolio here...

Helvetica 50


This is some of Andy Young' graphic design for the Sheffield Leg of the Helvetica 50 exhibition, celebrating 50 years of Helvetica, not only is this a delicious piece of graphic design, it uses Helvetica, a type face I favor in my own work. If you like this then check out his other works here.

Kick-Ass

Kick-Ass (2010) from holli on Vimeo.


Saw it a couple of nights ago, probably one of the best films i have seen, totally re imagines the comic book genre, perfect mix of comedy, irony and brutal violence, accomplished performances from all the actors including a truly brilliant performance from a back on form Nic Cage.

Matthew Vaughn as director improves his portfolio with this film, taking everything he learnt from lock stock, snatch, layer cake and stardust and tweaking it ever so slightly, as it was totally funded by his company and Brad Pitt, there were no studios to tell him to tone anything down and the result is a film that he wanted to make and we wanted to see. He is one of the only directors making films this way and it works for him perfectly. If you can see it, go see it.

This is a very cool animation i found a while back and forgot about until now, its relatively interesting if you value the opinions of a spaced out musician, but really what makes this so good is the animation and graphic, it's a classic case of if you don't ask you don't get. Enjoy.
