Doodle art movement star Jon Burgerman about »Character«
Jon Burgerman on how to get started, where to start and how to get running as an artist, painter, designer and illustrator. And being successful in all. Jon Burgerman will be speaking at TYPO Berlin 2015.
Roger Law: The Art of Theft
Admittedly I was only vaguely familiar with Roger Law‘s work before attending his presentation at TYPO; hazy memories from my childhood of his rubbery-faced caricatures of politicians gesticulating wildly at me from my TV set. His presentation would be a retrospective of his work in parallel to that of other artists which had not only influenced him but who he had heavily referenced, or even stole from, in order to create his own work. It would be this concept of theft vs. true originality, which resonates so deeply with all artists and designers, that would be at the core of his thought-provoking, beautiful and often amusing look back at some of his most popular work.
Sarah Illenberger: Playtime
Let me start by saying: Sarah Illenberger is a true source of inspiration. She not only strives to be a generalist by combining the art of illustration, graphic design and photography, but also constantly challenges herself in terms of materials and methods.
Emory Douglas: Criminals Running the Government
Arguably the shortest presentation I’ve been to all day, but arguably the one packed with the most passion.
Emory Douglas is a designer for the Black Panther movement, so his illustrations and posters are anything but controversial.
Tattly Randomizer
The rumors were true, the Tattly randomizer made its way to TYPO this year.
Lisa Congdon on Embracing the Abyss
Author, artist, and avid cyclist Lisa Congdon gave an inspiring presentation on embarking on new, unfamiliar paths, and embracing the abyss along the way.
The Tattly Randomizer at TYPO SF 2014
We’re excited to announce that the Tattly Randomizer will be at TYPO SF 2014! What is the Tattly Randomizer, you ask? Imagine the mini vending machines that would take your quarters and spit out a random temporary tattoo when you were a kid. Now, replace the cheesy designs you remember with creative, “designy” illustrations and images, and you have the Tattly Randomizer!
Rhythm Remarks with Gemma O’Brien
In this edition of Rhythm Remarks we catch up with Sydney’s Gemma O’Brien. O’Brien is a typographer, hand-letterer, and illustrator who has been on FontShop’s radar since her experimental video in which she covered her body with hand lettering.
6 questions to … Julie K. Andersen & Stig Møller Hansen
Julie K. Andersen and Stig Møller Hansen are both lecturer at the Danish School of Media and Journalism. Whereas Julie is all about tangible pieces crafted by hand in laborious techniques like knitting, crochetting and so forth, like the project she showed at TYPO 2013 (watch video), Stig as an interactive designer and coder sees code as a creative tool for the designer. AT TYPO Berlin 2014 they’ll talk about their collaboration “Man vs. Machine” where it’s all about combining these two approaches to produce something new that has the qualities from each approach.
Kate Moross – There is no wall
Kate Moross presents: The punk rock guide to business! What does the punk approach to work entail? Being good at bullshitting. Or to put it in a less in-your-face way – being adept at the art of improvisation.
Tom Manning: Accepting the Multiplicty of Methods: Comics, Graphic Design, and the American Way
Tom Manning introduced himself as:
