This Halloween, our couple’s costume is Hooper and Quint from Jaws, with our dog as the shark. My neighbor is coming as a yellow barrel. He’ll be walking the dog.

Everybody’s favorite trilogy.

Today I did a panel at Star Trek Las Vegas about Trek typography, then met the Imagineer who does all the Star Wars and Marvel type design at Disneyland. That’s a pretty good Thursday, if you’re me. #stlv

In the new Wallace and Gromit movie if you pause the movie at just the right time you can see Wallace’s bum

This is a fantastic article from Joel Morris about storytelling. And AGATHA CHRISTIE *DOESN’T KNOW WHO DID IT* 😮

Is the voice instruction “THROW YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR LIKE YOU JUST DON’T CARE”?

Posit: Harry and Marv are killed by Kevin’s very first attack. The rest of the movie (and sequel) is their own eternal purgatory, constantly bested by Kevin as a penance for their sins.

Belatedly sharing scans from typesetinthefuture.com/book, #4: An ad from "Vogue" magazine, Nov 1966, for "The Watch Of The Future", designed by Hamilton Watches for "2001: A Space Odyssey". The watch is worn in the movie by a pilot on Dr Floyd's flight to the Clavius moon base.

Belated scans from typesetinthefuture.com/book, #3: An ad from “Seventeen” Magazine, August 1968, for a selection of jewelry inspired by "2001: A Space Odyssey". The selection includes a rectangular silver necklace dubbed, simply, "The Monolith".

From a commercial for Mid Pacific Air that I worked on in 1985, shortly before I was hired on Star Trek. I designed the control panels and made the animated (fake) computer readout using a model airplane onto which I'd applied "vector" lines using graphic tape. Prod co: Ostrander, Patrico, & Blu.

Scans from typesetinthefuture.com/book, #2: An ad from “Seventeen” Magazine, August 1968. "Earthly beauty. A total concept in leather as exciting as the beyond… inspired by the imagination and beauty of “2001: A Space Odyssey”. Tomorrow’s look today, crafted for you by the inimitable John Romain.”

To celebrate having a decent place on the Internet to post things again, I'm belatedly sharing a bunch of research scans from typesetinthefuture.com/book 👍 Scan #1: a clothing ad for "out of this world knits… inspired by 2001: a space odyssey", from the August 1968 edition of Seventeen Magazine.

For all matte painters and concept artists. These are scans of the original b/w line artwork created for the brass etched silhouettes used in BLADE RUNNER. They were scanned whilst we were working on THE FIFTH ELEMENT These are a free download Enjoy! ankaris.gumroad.com/l/EpePN

It’s been quite the week for spatial video announcements 😁 Final Cut Pro can now edit spatial videos: - www.apple.com/uk/newsroom/... So can DaVinci Resolve Studio: - forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.ph... And Canon’s spatial lens is shipping: - www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/18...

Coralie Fargeat’s “The Substance” is quite the trip; think “Barbie Carrie Shining The Fly Thing”. Recommended if you’re okay with body horror and incredible female lead performances. Also: let’s normalize crediting type designers in movie closing titles 👍

Just spent a delightful few hours trawling my old Twitter “following” list, and re-following all of the same folks I could find on here. I’d forgotten how much fun that place used to be. Great to see you all!

So _this_ is where everyone went! 👋
