STICKY UPDATE : This post will remain stuck to the top of World Famous Design Junkies until justice is done. I do not have the means to protest in a more meaningful manner, but this message will reach hundreds of people I know, if only for a moment. VIVA IRAN. VIVA THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE DEMOCRACY REAL.

Without the Ten Crack Commandments, the ones prophesied by a certain Notorious seer, we might never know how to sell crack correctly. I mean, right? Well, here we’ve got some pretty-faced rules for typography in a nice little book. Hand-held, just my kinda book size, easy to transport and look upon. Made for a class project by the typstro of London and Dublin; Karen O’Neill. Look upon the book and follow da darections.

As Aventuras de Zé Ninguém e Cão Viralata! Aka The Adventures of Joe Nobody and the Pooch Dog! It’s a street comic. Check these two companions all over the streets of Brazil in ah, Idunno, probably Rio de Janeiro? The panels on view here are about Zé/Joe’s search for a nice lady, his finding of a little bit of cash, and his runnings after of the dog. That dog is a good runner. All of these paintings are done up by none other than your pal, artist and illustrator Tito Na Rua. GIG NYC WHAT!

What happens when you put a jackhammer on a pancake? Or a traffic patrolman on a chess board? Wrecked! Unless they are tiny. What sort of world do we live in where there’s a desire to make the world bigger? I’ve got to say that if I’ve got any sort of global desire, it’s to make the world smaller - through connections - person to person, through images - stickers and messages. So check it out: these images, through a similar reaction that basically every person will have as an audience member, brings us all together - makes the world smaller as the world is bigger to the tiny little men.

You read that twice, the World Famous Beat Junkies are a crew completely separate from this webpage. The page you are on right now is called World Famous Design Junkies, while this particular post is about the World Famous Beat Junkies. What the World Famous BEAT Junkies has made is a tribute to Michael Jackson. This Michael Jackson tribute is an hour and twenty minute mixtape by the Funky President: J. Rocc.

When one eyed monster we do see, a Horkey hand it must to be. For a… uh… there’s no words on there! Perhaps it’s ah - wait no. The artwork here is from a 7″ between musical artists Jesu and Fog, but the poster is now on it’s own. It’s a cute little thang, isn’t it? It comes in two flavors: Burlesque and Japanese. Smell the monster!

Inspired by the tiny collection of vintage sewn clothing tags of artist, designer, and professor Kindra Murphy, here’s a slightly-less-tiny collection from all-round the internets. These are the sort of tags that are sewn in on the inside of the article of clothing by the neck. Take notice of the time and effort put into not only the design, but the design as it will be replicated in thread on the tag. Not an easy task! Especially since, believe it or not, they used to do this stuff without the computers and the whatnot!

Whoa this is about to get philosophical. You see the quote up there? “Success Does Not Happen by Accident, It Happens By Design.” I don’t know who said it first. It’s all over the internets, all over the world. I can’t believe I’ve never read it before. But it’s fantastic. In this case, it’s for this project called Designmonat Graz; first design of the month. Design recognized in Styria, Austria. Love those triangles!

What better way to send a ‘thank you’ card than to make the person continue to work to receive their due reward? Connect the lols! Here’s just a wondrous little concept on it’s first iteration: “Connect the Dots Notecards” by designer Kate Dewitt. Not only a great idea that can be distributed and sold in stores, but also perhaps a nice project for you pre-school and kindergarten teachers out there? In the world? Yes? Yes? Yes. I will say so myself, yes, such a good project for the world.

So you’re driving along 35W North in Minneapolis Minnesota, that highway that basically collapsed in 2007, and you come along Broadway and BAM there’s an amazingly painted train! So you’ve gotta get up there! You’ve gotta get up to that train track! So you get off the highway and you walk up there and totally ignore all the train personnel! And you take the pics! And they are so pretty!
