Scanned Pitchfork earlier today, found this awesome piece of news: of Montreal Get a Tour Documentary. of Montreal does some amazing things, so I am really stoked for this.
Here are some rad videos that may or may not have something to do with of Montreal:
I’ve been a big Simpsons fan for about a zillion years now. It’s great that they’re still going. Below is an ad that aired during the Super Bowl that featured them. Stoked on The Simpsons for life.
Haik Avanian’s Haiti Relief Infographic is part of Good’s Design an Infographic for Haiti Contest. His infographic is easily my fav. Simple fun and effective. If you got a sec, make sure you check out Haik’s figure drawings too.

Yesterday, a friend introduced me to the awesomeness of Danger. He also showed me these amazing teaser videos for his albums. They’ll totally remind you of old school arcade intros.
This weekend I came across two little talks/videos by awesome people. Both Geoff McFetridge and Brian Jones have awesome things to say.
First up is Geoff McFetridge talking at the Do Lectures. I found this one via Drawn!. It’s awesome to hear him tell his story and hear his thoughts on graphic design. One interesting thing I found out watching the video is that he writes poetry. Another interesting side note: he does this speech while a video of him doodling is running in the background. Very, very rad.
Next up is the first Show & Tell Podcast by the Friends of Graphic Design. Brian talks about lots of dope things in this video. Some of these dope things include: the power of pie, why you should go from A to shoe instead of A to B, and about the awesomeness of personal projects. Chirping birds and interesting things guaranteed.
