SIGGI EGGERTSON /

m// When i was in BERLIN a few months ago I met SIGGI EGGERTSON through a mutual friend. SIGGI is an ICELANDIC graphic designer with amazing computer illustrational talents! As he puts it himself; "In My Childhood, Drawing And Computers Were My Biggest Hobbies. I Found Out That I Could Combine Those Two Into A Profession Called Graphic Design". Well, he most certainly has, in more than a decent way! SIGGI also spoke at last years VISUELT, a design conference held in OSLO annually.

I had trouble picking which pieces to show, so please visit his SITE for more digital delights!

HI BEN!

Against the Grain

T// My talented brother has created his best film clip yet. Simple, seamless, clever, and fun. I've only ever gotten as far as WANTING to make a stop-motion animation, let alone completing one to this quality! This clip has had heaps of posts on the interwebs. Let's hope it results in some more great opportunities for him to make charming work like this.

L// It's strange but I'm suffering from a project crush on Sophie Blackalls missed connections.. I will let her explain "Messages in bottles, smoke signals, letters written in the sand; the modern equivalents are the funny, sad, beautiful, hopeful, hopeless, poetic posts on Missed Connections websites. Every day hundreds of strangers reach out to other strangers on the strength of a glance, a smile or a blue hat. Their messages have the lifespan of a butterfly. I'm trying to pin a few of them down." I love knowing that these messages come from people living in new york. Such a big city, but people are still reaching out to each other, even if the odds are impossible, to say things they couldn't say face to face... it's just sweet. A lovely side of humanity.
