New Stuff From Cantab Publishing
Got an email a few days ago about some new products over at Cantab, one of my favorite indie publishers. Pictured above is the new issue of Mêlée (MAY LAY). The first issue is super hot. Great layout, nice 4 color cover with a fifth color screen printed over top, multiple paper stocks... it's got it all. Also some new prints from Alex Lukas and a new zine by Matt Leines.

Our talented neighbor...
Family friend Noel Ashby has some beautiful work on her website. I got to see a bunch of new work in person at the Fulton Market Truck Show and there are some really beautiful pieces of work.
Inspired by materials themselves, weights of line against form, the interpretive and visual quality of word.

South Indian Film Posters
The video was made in collaboration with video artist Smriti Mehra for the City One Minutes art project. Matt Lee has been photographing South Indian film posters in and around Bangalore.
Macho Men and Flirtatious Women. Local language, hand drawn lithographic film posters and the larger, glossier offset film posters contribute largely to the visual culture and character of the streets of Bangalore. An ongoing gallery of these film posters I have been photographing as well as a video sketch of the lithographic printers responsible for a large part of this output.

This film was made by Thomas Edison in 1899 and features the bicycle trick rider 'Neidert'.

Mystery Awesomness
The work looks familiar, but it could just be because it includes a pattern of a recognizable Detroit icon. Photo by Adam & Jessica.
Update: even though it might not really be an update, since I answered my own question before I had made this post live - I don't think I like the term 'live' being used as it commonly is in computing when something becomes operational, usually a website or in this case a blog post. Though I understand how it came to be, it gives me a god complex, and conjures images of Frankenstein. Usually those images are from Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks. That movie is funny. I seem to use the term 'up' more than any other.
Oops, I forgot the update info: The Chrysler piece is by Thomas Bayrle. It says so in this blog post made live on June 10th.
