ecofont

I’m not sure how long this has been around, but I just stumbled across the ecofont. Basically it’s a standard sans serif font, but using it consumes 20% less ink.

Hmm, I’ll wait to be convinced on that, appearance on screen in particular has got to be a bit of a nightmare, just imagine the font hinting going on in that sucker! It’s also a shame it can’t make your words 20% more effective as well, but you’ve got to admire the intention.

Of course, Budmo Jiggler by the prolific Ray Larabie has been carrying the torch for years, I’d give good money to see a PowerPoint presentation set in that…

Oh, and I found it in Wired magazine.

PostSecret is an ongoing open project where people send in their secret thoughts on the back of a self decorated postcard. Check them all out here, and if you’re feeling brave (you’re safe – it’s anonymous), send in one of your own…

Heinz Faked Beans

I thought I’d post this, it was my first ever screenprint. I remember really enjoying the screenprint process, and I produced a handful of these Faked Beans prints at university in 2001, before any of us had heard of Banksy…




David Beckham gets the chop

OK, so I’ve posted about The Decapitator before, so apologies for mentioning it again. I just HAD to post this video of his latest stunt, David Beckham beheaded live on camera.

Genius.
