The wretched typeface MS Comic Sans was unleashed upon unsuspecting secretaries and MS Word enthusiasts in the mid 90′s and has been showing up everywhere from office break rooms to garage sale signs ever since. Well, as it turns out, even comic sans has a group of defenders that seek to remake the world entirely in comic sans. Great. Personally, I hate the typeface and think the world would be a slightly better place sans comic sans; however, these folks don’t agree. See more of their witty re-imagining of popular logos below the cut.

There’s little info in the way of the (pretty talented) animator ABVH who is making these awesome animated Banksy GIF’s but they pretty much explain themselves. Nice work!

I can’t tell if I should be viewing these as an ant looking up, or from the floor as everything is being lifted up. German artist Michael’s H. Rhode forced perspective photographs are, admittedly, pretty novel.

Some mind bending sculpture from New York based Kumi Yamashita. The few that are included here that are also made from scrap metal and various junk were part of a collaboration with Tim Noble + Sue Webster. Also, check out the video at the end of the post for some shots of one of Kumi’s sculptures in actions. It’s saying “My name is Sylvia.”

Also, I’ve taken the plunge and setup a Tumblr! Shock and awe. It’s way more freeform than the regular blog. If you’re on tumblr, follow me over at http://unstage.tumblr.com and I’ll be sure to follow you back. Peace!
