...Threads...

Gabriel Dawe is an amazing artist. I'm a big fan of installation art, and though my penchant for wearing dark colours is well known, I love colour.

Gabriel was born in Mexico City, surrounded by colour and rich history. After working as a graphic designer, he moved to Montreal, Canada in 2000 following a desire to explore foreign land. In search for creative freedom he started experimenting and creating artwork, which eventually led him to explore textiles and embroidery—activities traditionally associated with women and which were forbidden for a boy growing up in Mexico.

His work is just so lovely. Simple and subtle in form, the depth he achieves with his use of colours and the build up of thread is phenomenal. I love the shapes he creates, and the way light can play on and through the piece.

...Taste the Font...

Found this amazeballs project by a visual communication company based out of Lithuania called Prim Prim. Their stuff is beautiful, but this offshoot project is so fun!

One day in the air of the Prim Prim studio appeared a question – is it possible to describe the taste of the font?

That is how the "special dinner project" has begun and keeps on going at least once a week.

Everything is really simple. We aren't big cooks, nor the food photographers – just a couple of crazy graphic designers. All fun is to describe the feeling of the font by making a dish, having "it's taste". And to write down the process here.

Moreover, on each post we also present some true history of the font – and that information is not only delicious but also healthy for your brain!




So ... let's taste the font!

Like I said, so much fun!
