Intriguing trailer for the new documentary: Jean-Michel Basquiat | The Radiant Child.
Directed by Tamra Davis, the documentary features never-before seen footage of the prolific artist painting, talking about his art, and existing. I can’t wait to see this film, this footage was all shot just 2 years prior to his death in 1988 and was tucked away in a drawer for the last 20 years. Incredible.
I was stoked today to discover the work of another great Philadelphia-based designer, Elysse Ricci. You may be familiar with Elysse’s work for Urban Outfitters, where she’s currently an in-house designer. I love her use of color and type, often combined with a subtle mix of elements made by hand, which gives her work a great personal quality.

Onomatopee is an Eindhoven and Amsterdam-based publishing venture that produces art publications and presentations, specialises in poetry, typography and sound art, and is dedicated to site-specific, contextual projects. I’m not sure if they’re still in operation, it looks like their catalogue hasn’t been updated since 2008. Regardless, there’s still some great past works to dig through.
