I went to Prairie Avenue Bookshop and saw the Tres Logos, a book I preordered 2 months prior. I was excited to see the vibrant blue-colored book on a pedestal, rushed to it and spent about 40 minutes flipping through the pages. Some artist return such as 123 Klan and hydro74, but the logos that stood out to me were the ones created by a design firm called Team Manila, which was introduced to one of my coworkers. One of the reasons they stood out was that the logos had the words “Pinoy” or “Pinay” and a very stylized rooster head reminiscing of my dad taking me to cock fights when I was a young buck. Secondly, I didn’t realize that the growth of graphic design firms were being established in the Philippines and I was proud of that they were setting an example to the people of the Philippines that they do not just have to be nurses or doctors to become successful people. Everything We Shoot is the company I knew about before Team Manila.
I also noticed some pieces from The KDU noting Aerosyn-Lex. Big ups to you Lex.
Anyway, if you’ve got the scrill I suggest purchasing this book. It’s available for a good price in Amazon. Holla!
I remember about the DVD coming out, but didn’t know it came out. Anyway, this is them in the Early Show doin’ their thang.

Look at it. It’s beautiful. When I was in London, I watched this stadium grow from 4 concrete blocks into the masterpiece you see before your eyes, and the 3 years of distruption on the tube lines around the stadium can easily be forgiven when you see how amazing this structure is. I can’t wait to set eyes on it again.
£1billion (almost $2billion) well spent.

Montréal hometown heroes D-Structure recently opened up a shop/gallery in San Francisco, marking their third shop to date and the first outside of Canada. The shop, aptly known as DSI, hosted a gallery show for artist extraordinaire Arlo Eisenberg, who I might add, hooked the place up proper with an extravagant mural.
