Helvetica Tonight

If you're like me
and still haven't
caught the
documentary about
our most favorite
font
ever, Helvetica (but
went all the way to
New York City to see
the Helvetica
exhibit at
MoMA),
here is your chance!
You won't even have
to leave the comfort
of your home because
your local PBS
station will be
showing it on your
teevee tonight. For
those of you in the
LA area, it's on at
10pm on KCET.
Check your local
listings here. While we're on the
subject of fonts (or
typefaces,
the technically
correct term), this
came in today's
Daily Candy. A new
eco-friendly font
thought up by some
ingenious Dutchies,
made up of dots. It
uses 20% less ink,
which is a good
thing because it
means less printer
cartridges that ends
up in the trash.
Download and use it
for free here.

Travis Millard
has been slowly chipping away at the underground comics/drawing great pictures of
great things scene for the past decade or so. No doubt you've seen his work in some
form
or another (print, product, scribbled on a bus) and not even known it was him. Well,
take this moment to introduce yourself with his world of art, zines, comics, books,
stickers and everything in between. It will be well worth it.

The things rising art star Jen
Stark does with paper will make you feel things. Good things, hopefully, but
definitely things. It's nice when someone can do that with just colored paper. Check
the video here to see what it took to get her there. |

Amazing Baby's Psych Pop jambo on Viva Radio sure was
a stellar to do. Listen, podcast, share with your friends. And on a similar radio-
related note, check out this mega cache of DC and DC-related hardcore classics: Dissonance. Two for one post!

Looking for something to have a mellow listening party to before you get all crazy
and New Years-afied and put on Technotronic? Check out Brooklyn's own Here We Go Magic. Nice stuff
that reminds us of being happy when it's hard to be happy. Their self-titled debut with Western Vinyl drops in February (2009, fool!). |

Aurel
Schmidt certainly a fantastic talent. She draws the kind of pictures that make us
happy with both concept and content and are just downright amazing to look at for
hours. Take a gander at her work on Tiny
Vices and if you agree that it rules you
should consider grabbing her new limited edition poster of her "Supernatural" piece which is 72 inches tall and meant to fit a
space the size of a door. Crazy.

The Sartorialist at NY7

The
Sartorialist is a blog I check religiously so I was pretty, ok, very
excited to learn that Scott Schuman, better known just as the Sartorialist,
stopped into the Flatiron store a few days ago to
shop for a fashion shoot with his assistant. Word is that he was very polite
and not at all camera shy..

Of course we love LA. But we've been loving it more and more today after digging
though the portfolio of Raoul
Gatepin who now lives in NY and who happens to have one of the best photo
bio's we've ever read: 1978 : born in Trappes.
2004 : buy a camera in Kathmandu.
2005 : move to Los Angeles.
2007 : move to Brooklyn.

Jim Stoten is bad ass

It's true, Jim
Stoten is bad ass. I mean, I don't know him or anything, but judging by his
work he has totally thrown down the gauntlet of life and is ready to drink blood from
the severed heads of the nonbelievers. Our suggestion is to get on his team before it's too late.

Given the prevalence of mega-popular teen blog stars on the internet these days
why not give a little look at how the other half lives. The other half in this case
being a little girl named Tippi Degre whose parents abandoned their lives as freelance
French photographers in the '90's, moved to Africa, had a daughter and raised her
in the bush. Now 17 and living back in France, little is known of what Tippi does
with her time, but these videos of her youth are pretty special for
sure.

The economy's
tanked, we're in the
midst of a global
recession, and
things are looking
pretty grim.
Especially for Rich
People. What are
they to do? In this
new episode of BEARDO,
Tim Harrington from
Les Savy Fav rallies
together his famous
friends like Vice
founder Gavin, Moby,
Ian Svenonius from
the Make-Up, Fred
Armisen, and Andrew
W.K. for a feel good
song that raises
awareness for the
plight of rich
people feeling the
pain of a lighter
pocketbook. Watch it to the end
cause Tim, in true
Les Savy Fav
fashion, strips down
to his undies and
gold Thigh
Highs and leads
the choir in an
uplifting finale.
Let's take this to
number one on the
charts this holiday
season! Thank you to Mac
for sharing
this.

Dear Daily Update, So I was doing my job, being a good spokesmodel, minding everyone's
business when I was checking up on my Daddy's Haight Street Store in San Francisco
and to my surprise I spotted a very familiar Reality Star, tending the
dressing rooms: MARJORIE, the 4th runner up
from last season's America's Next Top Model!!!!!!! So coool!!!!! She was a real sweetie! I wanted to gossip with her about how
mean Tyra is and tell how how i was stuck in her hateful green
room for 10 hours and about how she broke up my boy
band...but since I'm not one to gossip, i figure I would let it go!!!!
T.T.Y.L-MARJORIE T.T.Y.N.-TYRA!!! xoxo

one. Hours of graphic inspiration.

| Okay but for real there's not much time left in 2008. Might as well get all your
misguided hatred out at once. I mean, who hasn't wanted to punch a cute baby
penguin at one
point or another --
