Hong Seon Jang, Type City, 2012, Letter press on wood panel, 2 x 11 x 14 in.Type City is a recent artwork by artist Hong Seon Jang that uses pieces of movable type from a printing press to create an elaborate cityscape. It’s fascinating to watch as the need for printed books and typography wanes, the unused objects themselves are more frequently used as an actual medium.
Remember the dust up about Fan Art a few days ago? My friend Tom pointed me in the direction of this article on how fans can support and nurture the things they love without doing damage to the community. Very good stuff. I find the last point particularly salient, since it’s more or less what I said earlier.
I’m reblogging this because I forgot that I wrote all this. Twitter can do that.
Owls confirmed to be the creepiest birds ever. LOOK AT THE FUCKING THINGS. If you fail to notice the one on the left fucking SWALLOWING a rat, then you have the dude singing some satanic chant or something next to him, and then you have those two other fucking psychos synchronised to make you feel creeped the fuck out with their soulless dance of FUCKING DOOM.
ALWAYS reblog this. Owls rock my world. Creepy or not!
Don’t think I’ll look at owls in the same way again
