A couple of delayed things on the blog today. Firstly i saw this wonderful film By fellow Falmouth graduate and all round lovely guy Temujin Doran a little while ago. and meant to post it then. Better late than never. Brilliant music too. well done Tem.
Secondly just wanted to give an over due shout out to Hugh of Landfill Editions and Many Mono, its printing arm. He has done an awesome job of some Risograph printing for us recently and even popped by the studio for a nuice chat and to hook us up with some killer prints from Landfills first collection.
Cheers Hugh,
BIG UPS!
Im off to continue painting the signs.

DROP CITY
Listening to: The get up kids
On a massive research tip today, all about Buckminster Fuller, for a project that will hopefully become apparent late next week. I stumbled upon the the artist community 'drop city' based in colarado from 1965 to the early '70's.
Read more about it here. Or better, watch this trailer and give these people more money to make the documentary about the place.

The Droppers’ vision of life-as-art was evidenced in their iconographic dwellings, which were based on geodesic domes and the crystalline designs of Steve Baer, a pioneer in fractal geometric designs and solar energy. The Droppers were opposed to work-for-pay and used salvaged materials, including culled lumber and chopped-out car tops. In 1966, Buckminster Fuller honored Drop City with his Dymaxion Award for“poetically economic structural accomplishments."

Yeah ok lack of updates this week. appologies. But i have been SUPER busy. LOADS of mega exciting things happening here in telegramme towers.
First up, just got the sign off on our first New Scientist, Editorial Illustration. Really pleased with it. Was a great chance to explore a simple graphical direction ive been playing with. They have been a client ive always wanted to work with and was a real pleasure to do. not sure when it comes out. real soon i hope. look:
Chris has been working his socks off with Telegrammes good friend Luke, on a mens clothing label named PERCIVAL. Telegramme has obviously taken on all the graphics and visual direction. From branding, website, launch party invites etc etc. Name it and we are designing. Under a week away from alaunch im super excited so wanted to share a couple of images. sneeky peeks of the direction.
I cant reveal too much more about the launch party, the website, the video by the supreamly talented Alex Turvey. Or any of the other exciting parts to this launch until next week. But i am very excited about it all.
So i finally got round to buying a new digital camera and what a beaut! On Many peoples advice i stumped the cash on ebay for a Canon G10. So hopfully ill be able to actually update this thing with some pictures of my adventures. its taking some time to learn to use it so bare with me for experiments. So heres whats been going on in my world today: I realised i need some new shoes. But on a plus side i have been getting my vit C, dont worry mum.
These guys are ruling the studio right now, causing heart palpitations and lose of mind! Both brilliant and dangerous. The way all good things should be. No warning on the packet either. AWESOME!
Loads of thinsg to get on with, i'll try and update a little more regularly if possible.
for those who might be interested i now have a twitter as well as the regular one upadated by chris. here: twitter.com/bobbytelegramme
friday greetings.

listening to: Chris' choice. We now have the studio stereo back in action! Momford and sons currently soothing us through Tuesday morning.
Just found this video thanks to the always excellent musical choice of Bobby over at Kitsune Noir.
Its so dreamy and makes me look forward to running through the woods for the Percival clothing shoot next weekend.Just check out the brilliance of those flags! wow!
I found this beautiful work by MATTE STEPHENS, a 34 year old artist that lives and works in Portland Oregon. These gouache paintings have such subtle almost modest use of colour combined with surreal twists creates an other worldly atmosphere that harks me back to a non memory of parisian cafes in the 30's smoking roll up cigarette and drinking strong black coffee before jumping in a car to have bizarre adventures. YUSS soooooo soooooo good!almost THIS print from his etsy store. Im . 'I love modern design and im inspired by anything Charles and Ray Eames, Alexander Girard, George Nelson/Irving Harper and artists like Ben Shahn and Paul Klee.'
While we are talking about absolutly beuatiful creations although on a slightly differant tip, check out the work of AJ Fosik.
His work really speaks for its self, incredable craft, composition and colour! quite breath taking. the following is an extract from his FECAL FACE interview here. This is AJ describing his relationship with the computer he uses for work...
Pretty interesting i think youll agree... read the rest and see more beutiful pictures here.
We NOW HAVE 500 FOLLOWERS ON TWITTER!!! thanks guys, i'm sure Chris will continue to bring you words of pure wisdom from the Telegramme studio... those not in the loop?...HERE!
back to a very exciting project! cant wait to release it!

Yeah, surprisingly as much as I dislike using computers now they really have had a formative influence on my work. In a lot of my early stuff I was using digital techniques and collaging and morphing pre existing imagery. It was a way for me to achieve results beyond what I could do by hand. The end result of this was that I always felt a certain distance or detachment from my own work and when I look back at it now I think I probably felt a bit of dishonesty. I really made a point of ditching the computer all together and focused on doing everything by hand and my current work partially grew out of that struggle or opposition to working digitally. Recently I have started using the computer again but my approach to using it now is almost a complete 180 from what it was. The computer in my shop now functions as little more than another power tool for me. It's really just another tool in the shop to manipulate the medium I work in instead of being the medium.

Wednesday i tottled along to a hidden gem with the award winning Art director and illustrator Holly Wales. The St Bride Library features books about every aspect of typography you could care to find. An over whelming array of books dedicated to printing and typography history and their uses and this is just the surface! Someof the Most beuatiful and obscure font colllections ive ever seen covering every aspect of print and typography from every era and generation. WOW! not to mention the awesome and amazingly knowledgeable staff. A must for all on a mission to find, 'something like this but...ummm but a bit like this...' ' oh i know just the book.' YUSS.
Anyway while there i came across this HUGE book from the 50's full of every font i think id every want. i mean it was MASSIVE!... too-heavy-to-accidently-let-slip--in-to-your-bag-massive. I found out it was a catalogue byNew York type pioneers Photo-lettering. Inc. i had heard a little bit about these guys through this House industries project.
In an age where its so easy to grab fonts from various 'sources' and find 'cool styles' detached from context on sites such as ffffound and flikr, its great to find out about the processes designs pioneers had to go through to achieve the visuals and influence we take for granted. House are now using modern technology to bring photo lettering back making it relevant again, CHECK THIS OUT!
This articooool seems apt to read right now.

Photo-Lettering was a mainstay of the advertising and design industry in New York City from 1936 to 1997. PLINC, as it was affectionately known to art directors, was one of the earliest and most successful type houses to utilize photo technology in the production of commercial typography and lettering. It employed such design luminaries as Ed Benguiat and sold type drawn by the likes of Herb Lubalin, Milton Glaser and Seymour Chwast as well as countless other unsung lettering greats. The company is best known by most of today's graphic designers for its ubiquitous type catalogs.
