This is nice, so very nice. Repeat Press of Somerville, MA created some custom coasters for the guys at Highsnobiety and Selectism to hand out for the holidays. The front of the coaster features a large impression of the logo, with a smaller version and site name on the reverse.

Blu and David Ellis joined forces for this weird and beautiful animation for the 2009 Fame Festival in Italy. Blu and David teamed up after having been admirers of each others work for years. Its all done in stop motion, hand, and a whole lot of paint, it took 10 days to complete and the result is amazing.
Since this is my first post on the sweettalk blog, I’m gonna to start out with a real piece of mouth-watering design, this tasty biscuit is made by Kyouei Design for the RAIN exhibition - part of Taiwan Designer’s Week 2009. The record plays a non-stop track of falling rain, guess it’s probably very soothing. The groove of the record forms a circle which makes it play endlessly. The thing that caught my eye is the really nice record sleeve, it’s so simple and subtle and fits absolutely perfectly with the whole rain vibe. Make sure to check out Kyouei’s site, it’s full of clever Japanese design.
The line-up for the new SweetTalk Copenhagen event on May 19, has just got better/stranger (delete as appropriate). British illustrator Jody Barton will be entertaining us with his views on the world as seen through his illustrations (jodybarton.co.uk). MTV, Dazed & Confused and a whole load more clients who love being ‘down with the kids’ have called upon Jody and he gets a certain pained expression on his face when you say that to him. Should be hilarious. He’s also got some work available through the Art Rebels guys. Incidentally he has a super-new exhibition opening tonight (Thursday May 7) in Force Of Nature gallery, Birkegade. Expected twisted watercolours and a few free beers.
Jody is also part of the renewed Grafisk Have project. An online gathering of some very fine visual people working in illustration, photography, design and what-not. They’re building up to a full-on launch in a few weeks, we’re told. Sounds good.
Anyhow - don’t miss it. The super-delicious new SweetTalk Copenhagen. May 19th.
