Julian Smith at this year’s Typo Berlin conference

My girl friend made me aware that Julian Smith is going to be at this year’s typo berlin conference. While I can’t attend the conference due to my never decreasing work load and general disgust for people that can’t draw, I still checked out some of his videos.  I have to say, I love this dude who kind of looks like a cross of Aston Cutcher and Jack Black. Inventative little skits, dark, silly and uplifting in a weird way. The malk one above was one of my favorites.  Julian, hope you rock the berlin crowd as you rocked my lonely sunday work breaks.

This guy was always way too handsome and awesome for a nerd and I never trusted him to begin with. After censoring everything that is fun, now he exposed his plans to destroy Adobe, stormtroopered a journalist from gizmondo and probably will facefuck everything that stands between him and a uniform, beautyfully designed world with glossy buttons and half eaten fruits. You know, there was somebody else one time with strong charisma, a keen sense for design and a fanatic following. And look what he brought us.

Yesterday, Regina, Simon, Stehphan, Christian and I were sitting in a bar in Kreuzberg. One of the subjects was that Manga Studio is the only program that allows you to “ink” well on a computer while all the major software apps suck major balls in this department. Christian came up with a sentence that lead to this cartoon. I missed the free comic book day by a day but this is supposed to be a part of it. :)
