Ever want to watch the process by which Ralph Steadman creates his inky typography? Check out this video, posted by the Criterion Collection, of Steadman creating a title treatment for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. 

As part of the on-going discussion of street art and its relationship to curatorial practice, as sparked by the controversy surrounding MOCA's soon-to-open exhibit "Art in the Streets," the group MOCA-latte has introduced a project intended to "provide a spark to ignite essential discussion about art in Los Angeles." The Red Sticker Campaign allows the general public to judge the merits of local street art by slapping an "Approved" or "Disapproved" sticker on the selected mural, graffito, poster, etc, then snap a picture and email it to the growing MOCA-latte gallery. Check out MOCA-latte's site for info on how to get stickers and get started curating.

Two years after buying the Flip from Pure Digital, Cisco has announced the little camera that could will soon be making videos of the big party in the sky. I was surprised to hear today that the Flip is finished, and after listening to analysis as to why (summary: smart phones with high def video capability make it irrelevant), I felt a pang for the death of a well-designed product. The process by which the Flip became a gizmo renowned for its functional simplicity, which I wrote about in 2009, was a great example of holistic design done right. But truth be told, I had only to look at my own household to predict the fate of the camera; we use our iPhones to take spontaneous video while the Flip sits in the drawer collecting dust.
