Where the Wild Letter Forms Are

Will you weep for joy like I did when you see the trailer for the upcoming Where the Wild Things Are movie? I hope so. It just looks that good. (Be sure to click the little HD icon to watch in high definition, and then set it to full screen. Good times!)

After you get over the initial shock of seeing the possibility that a classic icon of post-1963 childhood has come brilliantly to life, watch the trailer a second time. During your second viewing, take a gander at the hand-done typography and zoomorphic lettering. It makes me giddy!

Earth Hour 2009

Time to vote with my light switch. Here in Newberg, Oregon, I am turning off the lights for an hour (and then some) to help save energy, and hopefully help save the Earth.

Woot!

Public Literature (and Typography?)

I read a great piece in The Oregonian today by Bryan Doyle called "A Note on Public Literature" that you should read. It is beautiful prose poetry (whether it was intended to be or not).
