Dum Dum Wrappers, Part 2. Thanks very much to Trey Hoyumpa for mailing these to me. <3
This set has a newer Dum Dum logo (watermelon has the old one). I prefer the straight lines and the rhythm of the old one. Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke.
Also, mango uses halftone. Fancy!
This assignment turned into a bunch of portraits within an illustration. It’s for the Indelible Festival at the Highline Ballroom in NYC. Depicted: Bilal, Cecil Taylor, Gil Scott-Heron, AYO, ?uestlove, Mos Def, Little Jimmy Scott, and Meshell Ndegeocello. For The NY’er.
I just finished reading Bruno Munari’s Design as Art. It’s really good, there’s a chapter about poster design and how you have to consider what the design would look like tiled.

I collect Dum Dum wrappers. I like the simplicity of the little fruit/flavor icons, the patterns they form, and the boldness of the colors (each one uses 1-3 colors).
Check out Steven Heller’s collection of Italian Fruit Wrappers, which nudged me to post my modest little collection of what I previously thought was an embarassing trash stash.
Time to get ill!
Spotted in Little Tokyo today with my dear friend Irene.
Web spot for the NY’er, about being busy.

Lettering and Spot Illustrations for Lucky Peach Magazine. A slightly different version of the titles was published. Fuchsia Dunlop discusses delicious, tongue-numbing, ultra-spicy Sichuanese (my favorite!) food in London. Thanks very much to Walter Green.
