Word play

It took a couple seconds before I got it.

The artist's bio states:

Hello my name is colleen and I'm living the dream. No job, no fixed address and no one to please apart from myself. I'm from Bristol in the south west of England but am living in Wellington NewZealand at the moment, being well looked after by my best friend (I owe her big time).

I'm a graphic designer by trade and an ideas person by nature, nothing makes me happier than a clever concept. I have the sort of brain that never switches off so I carry notebooks everywhere and can often be found in cafes scribbling on napkins.

My favourite things are Saturdays, hot coffee on cold mornings, riding my bike, bright colours and the eagles of death metal. I dislike icy pavements and people who don't say please and thank you.

Do you have a beef with big cities?

Graphic designer Christopher Wade Sherron of Providence, Rhode Island takes a cue from hip-hop culture in creating posters intended "to provoke attention towards an unacknowledged city by starting beef with well-known, prosperous cities in hopes to gain notoriety."What would your poster say?

yawn.

Absolutely pouring here today.

It's not a good thing when your topic for discussion is the weather.

(Just in case the reference to Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You" slips by some readers.)

Daily design fix

Years ago I used to get my daily fix of good design while working for one of the top graphic designers in New York. Now, thank you internet, I'm able to get it by the minute.

[Just to clarify, it wasn't Mr. Bass with whom I worked.]

Don't you love when somebody tells you this?

Well. Somebody's telling you this.

I guess I'm feeling Brooklyn today.

I'm rather partial toward the interior of this Brooklyn home I saw on Design Sponge. Typography everywhere. Husband grew up in Brooklyn. Not to mention Our Love Is Here To Stay was our wedding song.

stay. right. here.

Running late

I'm about to embarrass myself now. But here it goes. (Thank goodness I proofread.) This is what I originally had written for the description: I swear. Even French type seems more stylish.

It's Spanish.

A mini-lesson in existentialism

You can do this by leaving me comments. I want to see lots and lots of comments today, dear readers.
