Tightrope Video

Came home today put some pasta on the stove (broke art students thats all I have) and opened my laptop to see what was new with music and art. Came across the new Janelle Monae video. In a recent post notifying about her new single "Tightrope", an up beat jam with an old school feel. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna see people around doing the tightrope dance when this song comes on. This was a creative approach and interpretation of the song, I would have never thought of it but its dope. Give it a watch.

Okay call me a design nerd but I think this is pretty major, Milton Glaser the creator of the i Love New york logo and the famous Bob Dylan poster speaking at the Society of Illustratos on April 1st. I will definately be there maybe with an I Love New York t-shirt being a groupie.

The legendary designer and illustrator Milton Glaser, best known for his I heart NY iconic logo, will discuss his latest book, Drawing Is Thinking and make some comment on the opportunities for social intervention by designers and illustrators. The lecture will be followed by a book signing by Mr. Glaser.
