Emmanuel Polanco | Update
Posted: June 20, 2009 // Design + Illustration

I posted about Emmanuel Polanco back in January, so I was pleased to see that he had updated his site with a ton of new work since then. His cut and paste style and wonderful grasp of color really make his work stand out, and his new stuff doesn’t cease to amaze.

The two images above are a couple of illustrations he did for Nuvo magazine. The first is about “Cycles” and the second is about music downloading. Such excellent work.

Komboh
Posted: June 20, 2009 // Design + Illustration

Hans Thiessen and Michael Mateyko are the two parts that make up the creative team of Komboh. These two work alone and together, but either way they’ve created some really great projects. One of my favorites I came across was this hand drawn typeface called Woodoni. I usually hate these kinds of woodsy/forest inspired fonts, but they definitely made this one look really great, there’s a nice nostalgic feel to it.

Free Font | Miso
Posted: June 20, 2009 // Design

I happened to come across another free font, Miso, the other day, so I thought I’d shoot it your way. It was created by Mårten Nettelbladt in 2006 and is available for private and commercial use. It’s quite a nice little font, tall, rounded and simple.

Better Bikeways Signage Project
Posted: June 20, 2009 // Design + Los Angeles + Transportation

My friend Michael emailed me these great ideas for bikeway signage by Joseph Prichard, something that Los Angeles desperately needs. The bright purple signs come in four different categories: Navigation, Caution, Connections and Points of Interest. This is already a great starting point, as the signs will be informative to people on bikes and in cars.

For drivers it makes it clear that a certain stretch of road is a place that must be shared with bike riders. While for bike riders they will hopefully feel safer riding as an area has been precisely mapped out for them. I also like the idea of signs leading to bike shops and bike-friendly places to eat as well.

Supreme MX Sunglasses
Posted: June 20, 2009 // Accessories + Clothing

While it’s a gloomy day in Los Angeles today, most days it’s incredibly sunny, and I personally can’t leave the house without my sunglasses. So when I spotted these new MX Sunglasses by Supreme, I thought it might be time for a change. I’ve been wanting a pair of tortoise framed glasses for a while now, and I think this is just the right blend of new and old. I love that they went with a little star to put on the ends of the glasses, it’s interesting what brands decide to do with that space. I think the red ones would be a perfect pair of summer glasses for a woman looking to make a bold and classy statement as well.

Not sure how much these are going to be, but Supreme is pretty reasonably priced, so it hopefully won’t be too bad.
