We were only able to spend the morning at the PSFK Los Angeles conference due to our slammed afternoon schedule of ab-gawking. Cordial host Piers Fawkes was even more witty and dapper in person than we imagined him to be (like an extra in a Hugh Grant movie), but we couldn't... [UnBeige]

Van Halen Hot For Typographers - Posted July 17, 2007
An informant tipped us that last night's AIGA/LA & House Industries event at the Eames Office would be star-studded but we had no idea how studded it would be. Normally we would have gotten all excited about Shepard Fairey and Coop, who were both spotted in the crowd but it turns... [UnBeige]

Shepard Fairey Appearing on Today's "Design Matters" Live From His Hospital Bed - Posted June 29, 2007
We were extremely concerned about recent Splasher Target Shepard Fairey earlier today when we heard he was in the hospital. Was the anti-street art pressure getting to him?

The Splasher Gets Splished at Shepard Fairey Show - Posted June 22, 2007
