Font Friday: Kurry

Something about the graceful yet subtle curves of this typeface really strikes my font fancy! It's also quite legible for smaller bits of text which makes it nice and versatile. It's name is Kurry and available from MyFonts.com.

Stranded in Canton

A friend recently shared this amazing albeit short video clip by photographer, William Eggleston. I was so intrigued I set out to find out more... The entire video has been restored and a book of stills has been published. The publisher of the book, Twins Palms had this to say...

William Eggleston's pioneering video work, "Stranded In Canton," has been restored and is finally available, almost thirty-five years after it was made. The book contains forty frame enlargements from the digital re-master, a brief appreciation from filmmaker Gus Van Sant, and a DVD of the 77-minute film itself, along with more than thirty minutes of bonus footage and an interview with Mr. Eggleston conducted at the 2005 Toronto Film Festival.

"Shot in 1974 with a Sony Porta-Pak, the crazily careering Stranded in Canton documents a cast of hard-drinking Southerners with the intimacy, ease and instability of a seasoned participants. Whiffs of Southern Gothic are not new to Mr. Eggleston’s work, but here they rise to the surface--fierce, tragic and proud."
–The New York Times

By the way, LOVE Twins Palms! Bought one of my first real fine art photography books from them... a gorgeous book of Disfarmer portraits (unfortunately, I do not have a first edition - I wish!!).

Font Friday: Magpie Paper Works

Saissant

Vermandois

Lucky you... I could not limit myself to choosing just one font this week! Last week I gave you a little peek at Saissant and today I am happy to announce that it and more lovelies are available for sale from Magpie Paper Works! I'm so smitten with the unique look of both of these. I was actually feeling rather selfish and didn't even want to share these... but I couldn't do that! Do yourself a favor and check out the other gorgeous typefaces from Magpie Paper Works.

Art Work: Lisa Nilsson

This is mind-blowing! Lisa Nilsson has made these anatomical cross-sections with quilled paper! You need to look at the close-up shots to really appreciate the attention to detail... truly amazing! It takes several weeks to complete each one and she even makes the boxes the works are housed in. Read more about her work HERE.

I've always loved this quote by Julia Child... and I'm so inspired by her life. If you haven't already, watch Julie & Julia - such a cute movie! Anyway, you can purchase this beautiful print HERE (read the comments). Have a great week!
