Lissitzky Style Poster

Lissitzky Style Poster

I almost get the feeling I'm looking at a poster for an artist version of the movie Saw. Minus the ridiculous plot and immense amount of unnecessary gore. However, the digital aspect of design has proven to be a lot more fun than I anticipated. James Brown would be proud.

To my fellow geeks out there, it's that time again:

Perseid Meteor Shower Of 2012 Peaks Sunday, August 12th

From Space.com:



One of the most pleasant treats on a warm summer night is to lie out under a starry sky and try to see a few shooting stars, or meteors. Luckily, right now is a great time to try to see meteors in the night sky.

Any night this week you will have a good chance of seeing the annual Perseid meteor shower. These objects are tiny bits of rock and debris from an old comet, which is named Swift-Tuttle after the astronomers who discovered it in 1862.

Every year in early August, Earth passes through the comet Swift-Tuttle's orbit and sweeps up some of this debris. As the tiny rocks encounter the thin upper atmosphere of the Earth, the air is heated to incandescence and we see a rapid streak of light.

If you haven't heard of ROA, might I direct your attention here:

I first heard of ROA's work when he did a campaign of his signature, larger than life animal paintings in Gambia. However, the original images I saw weren't of eviscerated rats. Even so, he's put a different take on the guerilla aspect of street art. Way beyond the WOW effect.

For all you minimal animals:
