Not your typical graffiti, you might have noticed graffiti animals on the streets of LA, cute enough to make the biggest road ragers smile. As Shepard Fairey’s former assistant at Obey Giant’s Studio Number One, Philip Lumbang’s bears, coined awesome bears, are his signature style. Check out this timelapse video we made of Phil painting the mural next door at teaforest.

We came upon this original plywood splint at the Herman Miller LA Showroom. Charles and Ray Eames designed the splint for the U.S. Navy during WWII, which led them to perfect the technique for molding plywood that resulted in their signature Eames plywood chairs. The splints are now limited collectibles that are displayed as works of art.

David and Hiro flew off to New York for the opening of MoMA’s Bauhaus: Workshops for Modernity exhibition. Hello created a web site along with a kiosk experience for the show.

The Bauhaus holds special meaning for us as designers and we appreciated the work even more after experiencing them in person.

We just launched a new site today for The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts in NYC. The foundation was established in 1987 to fulfill Warhol’s will which was summed up in “the advancement of the visual arts.” Today they are a leading national funder of contemporary art with initiatives all across the United States.

David and Jon got to meet Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons today! Jon gave him a copy of his magical book, Pens are my Friends.

Jon drew some pretty pictures in our conference room. They’re pink and orange because these were the only paint markers we could find at the store.
