The amazing work of Polish artist Jan Lenica (1928-2001)

I received my copy of the rather tasty Folkways earlier this week. Beautifully designed by Spin (of course), published by Unit Editions, and a bargain at £7.50. Lovely. Highly recommended.

The beautiful work of Len Lye.

UPDATE: As you will see from the comments – Roger Horrocks has written what looks to be a great book on Len Lye (which also includes a DVD of some of the films). Available to buy in the UK from Amazon, and there are some further links for international orders in the comments.

Sixpack France have just launched a set of two new La Boca T’shirts in their Spring/Summer 2010 collection. Available in their online store now.

New addition to the La Boca shoe cupboard.

A bit of Smith & Mighty to get the week going. All videos by Steve Haley at The Vision Factory.

We have a few spreads in Flashback, the new book from Vict:onary documenting the wealth of designers partaking in this new-fangled Retro design malarkey. Due to the amount of content in these books the results are often mixed, but overall, this one’s a nice addition to the book shelf and probably worth seeking out if you’re into this kind of stuff I think.

Sixpack France have just released a very limited number of our Lucifer jackets into their webstore. Following on from our Lucifer T’shirt, the design is a homage to the satin jacket featured on the hero of Kenneth Anger’s 1972 film Lucifer Rising, and features a fully embroidered back panel! Nice cheerful jacket for Spring.

I’m being kept amused at moment by this little iPhone game Alphabetic. Not really great gameplay, but there’s just something lovely about colourful, rounded type flying about all over the place.

Here’s our cover image for the new Muse CD single Resistance. Released in the UK on CD and download on the 22nd February. There will also be a limited 7inch vinyl picture disc featuring a different design to follow…
