I wanted to post part two of my little discussion with Paul Isakson of Colle+McVoy on the provocative topic of cyborg anthropology. But this week, I’ve been performing a delicate pas de deux with sheer insanity. So to give Paul’s thinking the contemplation it’s due, I’ll get back to this intriguing topic on Monday. Absolutely. You have my word, yo.
In the meantime, savor this holiday cheer from local design mavens Eight Hour Day, of whose work I’m an unabashed fan. (Much more of EHD’s work here .) You can buy holiday cards with these images here.
I’ve been walking this earth for more than half a century, so what charms me particularly about this work is its 1950s quality. Still, it doesn’t give off the minty scent of cuddly sentimentality detectable in a lot of “retro” or “vintage” imagery. This work swings, like Miles Davis or Dave Brubeck in their 1950s prime. It’s part beat, part Eames, and all its own 21st century thing. Dig.
