My Brain's on Fire. I've done too much thinking today. 11:50:02 PM    | |

1979 Deutschland: an update. Rolltreppe, Rolltreppe, sinnlos brutal. How true. Jürgen Engler of Male was so kind to give me the permission to upload a Male MP3 to my 1979 Deutschland pages. Devious punk I am, I uploaded not one, but one and a half MP3s: Risikofaktor and Polizei (1/2). Enjoy. 6:58:10 PM   MP3 | |

The Designers. Scott Robertson & Neville Page. Entertainment Design. Environmental Design. Product Design. Transportation Design. Toy Design. Creature Design. Fabulous. 2:02:10 PM   Art & Advertising | |

Deutsche Reichsbahn. An amazing website about 1930's German Railway: advertising, collector's card albums [1, 2], more advertising - anyway, it's exhausting. And fantastic. The main page is here. 9:04:32 AM   Art & Advertising | |

Cut & Paste. The German graphic designer Klaus Staeck. Klaus Staeck is the "elder statesman" of post-war European political montage. If anyone has taken up the mantle of John Heartfield and single-mindedly devoted himself to the cause, it is Staeck. He is a man of many parts: lawyer, politician, organiser, publisher, author, and television contributor, but most of all, he is a political artist. For over 30 years he has made posters. In the tradition of early agitprop, he has taken his art onto the streets with postcards, stickers and flyers. And here's his homepage. 8:49:53 AM   Art & Advertising | |
