Wayfinding Sans is a new font design from Ralf Herrmann the current editor of the German typography magazine TypoJournal

Available now on MyFonts, the font itself is both incredibly useable and defined, and needless to say, beautiful at all weights.

Designed around a mixed typographic style using the font Veneer from Yellow Design Studio (thanks guys), the new skin for MikeStaines.Com has been launched.

Veneer is a high resolution hand-crafted letterpress font that’s vintage and authentic with a touch of grunge. The previous skin, also built over the Gravy WordPress theme framework, was getting a little tired and bland, and additional textures were required. Would be good to know what you think!

At a time in the history of the arts where digital technology has revolutionized distribution, democratized access, and re-imagined the scope and scale with which an artist can create a vision and reach an audience, The Creators Project is a new kind of arts and culture channel for a new kind of world.

Now in it’s third year, founded by a revolutionary partnership between Intel and VICE, The Creators Project supports visionary artists across multiple disciplines who are using technology in innovative ways to push the boundaries of creative expression.

David Kracov was commissioned to create an award to be given in honor of, and named for, Rabbi Yossi Raichik, the beloved director of Chabad’s Children of Chernobyl.

The award, “Book Of Life”, was created by David and inspired by the extraordinary life of Rabbi Yossi Raichik. The sculpture depicts the “Book Of Life”, each page filled with words from those he touched, with those pages and thoughts transforming into butterflies, each representing the 2.547 children he helped save and give new lives.

Maria Kristofersson is a Swedish ceramicist of repute. Whilst her pieces use and interpret traditional patterns, the imperfections of shape and style are both contemporary and historic at the same time.

Maria comments on her technqiues:

“Lines, Surfaces, Structures, Hues and Values should be mentioned…they are important and I use them as tools for  finding my expressions. The clay gives both guidance and resistance. Most of my ceramic works are closely connected to the way I draw and paint. The objects can be viewed as three-dimensional drawings.”

Not disimilar in style to Claire Scully, Iain Macarthur’s Wildlife set of illustrations possess such detail, and tonal variation and depth, that each item is quite a delight to behold.

Iain Macarthur is originally from Swindon in the UK. He recounts his style in his own words:

“My work is described as surreal and unique in its own way. Using mostly pencil, watercolours and pigment pens, I create portraits of ordinary people, but create them in a unusual way by embelishing patterns and watercolour effects into the portrait to give a vivid explosion effect….”
