Just in case you haven't noticed some of the banners scattered around
the place, or heard through the traps, Lifelounge is currently running
a typographic project that we've called SomeTypeOfWonderful. Twelve
artists/designers and illustrators from all walks of life and various
corners of the globe have been invited to create an individual
typographic response based on a designated month of the year.
There's more specific info at the
SomeTypeOfWonderful
website but the basic idea is that in a few weeks from now we will be
releasing an extremely limited edition run of A1 giclee prints signed
by each of the artists and all of the artwork will be put together into
a ring-bound A3 limited edition 2009 wall calendar for you all to enjoy
for the following year. We'll also be holding an exhibition and launch
at Melbourne's McCulloch Gallery in the last week of October but more
info about that to come over the next few weeks.
There have been some changes but the final list of artists are
Alex Trochut,
Merijn Hos,
Jesse Hora,
Si Scott,
Hellovon,
Merda,
Timba Smits,
Puzle,
Justin Lee Williams,
Niels Shoe Meulman,
Steve ESPO Powers and
myself.
Ten of the artists have already submitted their pieces with the other two
expected very soon and I can tell you from what I've seen
so far there's some amazing typographic and illustrative work. We'll be
releasing a preview of the artwork over the next couple of weeks so stay
tuned and to ensure sure you don't miss out on the prints or calendar
visit the
SomeTypeOfWonderful website and register your details. We'll keep you posted.
