Reminds me of those subway billboards showing through newly ripped new sheets. A great articulation of the familiar and the energy of the city.Greg Cossel

Giovanni Pintori : exhibition catalog of design for Olivetti: "
Giovanni Pintori exhibition catalog c2003
Giovanni Pintori won a scholarship in 1930 (at the age of 18) to study at the ISIA in Monza under design heavyweights like Marcello Nizzoli and Edoardo Persico. After graduation he was invited to work for Olivetti in the Development & Advertising Office located in Milan. Three years later he would become the head of the department. Over the next 27 years he created an impressive body of work for Olivetti that would earn him a lasting international reputation.
This book was made in conjunction with a 2003 exhibition that highlighted many of Pintori’s designs for Olivetti.
Seen above: posters and advertisements for Olivetti 84, Lettera 22, Elettrosumma 22 typewriters and the Olivetti Tetractys printing calculator

Here's a series of photographs I just found in storage. These were given to me by Mr. Miyazaki, a kind man who I used to volunteer for every other week through a Japanese American Social Services group. I would cook Sukiyaki and he would share his stories of his youth. I remember those days fondly but its now more than 10 years since we lost touch. I wish I remembered the circumstances of each of these shots but I'd be making wild guesses to where they are, what year they were taken and who he's with. I especially love the first shot of him under the elevated tracks. It's full of energy and so evocative of that moment. I'm curious if the ball game was before or after the war. It's great to see a slice of Japanese American life rarely seen from this time .
Work of London based artist Phil Ashcroft. I like the way his work is reminiscent of Japanese painter and printmaker, Hiroshige Ando.

Science meets art in this compelling project where artist Daniel A. Becker creates gene code as graphic sequences.
Click on the link here to see letters turn into beautiful organic tapestries, as seen below.
First, you see the corresponding DNA linked to the graphics...
Then the letters turn into graphics that then creates this mosaic. In this case, this pattern was created by the DNA of the White Shark
