What A VP Does

This Is Excellent:

When People Think Of Sweden I Think They Have the Wrong Idea

This Is Excellent:



Thobias Fäldt has a really wonky site but some really stunning photography. And he's from Sweden, which basically means I'm already sold on him. I am such a sucker for Sweden.

You Ampersand I

TIE: Paul Pope's Battling Boy

This Is Excellent:



A page from Paul Pope's upcoming graphic novel for First Second Books titled (wait for it...) Battling Boy. If you haven't read a Paul Pope comic, you really, really should. I'd recommend starting with his issue of Solo or the recently re-released Heavy Liquid, which is sort of like a William Gibson book on drugs. Which is a very excellent thing.

TIE Fighter

I'm introducing a new element to the blog today called This Is Excellent, or, TIE for short. It's basically a way for me to flag stuff I think is awesome. I wondered if I should start a new blog for something like this, but I figured this was a way to have this blog updated regularly since my whole "This blog is gonna be about Important stuff" episode a while back. So, this excellent stuff is gonna get dumped over here. Hopefully you'll enjoy it.

So anyway, today's TIE comes from Portland-based designer Christopher David Ryan, aka Atmostheory. It's this poster titled "Solar System":



This Is Excellent.
