I’m usually pretty up-to-date on new work from Ryan McGinley, but I totally missed his last exhibition titled Reach Out, I’m Right Here, which was shown at Tomio Koyama Gallery last fall. The exhibit continues McGinley’s work of juxtaposing the human form against the intensity of nature, really showing just how small we are in the world.

Michael Cina is a man of many talents. As I’m writing this I’m thinking about how I need to link his name to his website… except he has like 12 websites, one for each of his interests. He’s a painter, a designer, and what we’ll be speaking about today, a typographer. A couple months back Michael released a rad typeface called Ramsey which is both bold and filled with character.
Ramsey’s tasty little details are what make it the perfect display font for both print and web. With strong structure and a warm personality, this typeface is a stout but refined workhorse. Ramsey’s strength really shines when it comes to identity work, headlines, and anything that requires a bold statement. This typeface’s 12 weights provide expansive versatility on and off screen, while it’s robust spacing and kerning creates a cool and even grey tone.
To celebrate the release of the font he created this beautiful wallpaper, the type beautifully weaved in between bursts of color. I love that this wallpaper is mostly dark as well, it personally helps me work, but I always like having bright colors around, so this I’d say is the best of both worlds. If you’re interested in seeing some great examples of how versatile Ramsey is I’d check out this Behance page Michael put up with about a thousand different examples.
If you want Ramsey for yourself you can buy it here on MyFonts.

Yesterday we announced the winner of the Battle Royale Re-Covered Film Poster contest, a huge congrats Keorattana Luangrathajasombat. I mentioned in the end of the post that I also wanted to point out a few other entries that I thought were well-done and who also deserved credit for their work.

Our first ever Re-Covered Film Poster contest was certainly an interesting experiment. My overall feeling about the contest was that a number of the posters turned out looking like book covers instead of a poster for a film. That might might have been my fault, I may not have been clear enough about my expectations, but that’s ok, it happens. I was still really excited by the quality of the submissions and think that it was totally a success.

It’s always nice when a musician can find an artist to collaborate with, creating a music video that can visually represent what a song is trying to say. That’s the case with the partnership of Darren Hayman and Daryl Waller, musician and artist, who’ve worked together on the music video for a song called “Henrietta Maria”.
