Alex at ISO50 asks some great creative minds how they overcome creative block. A really interesting read. My favourites are Build and Erik Spiekermann.

I love this quote. Paul Rand is awesome.

Start time, lunch time and home time.

This is one of my favourite film moments – the business card scene from American Pshyco.

This is perhaps the crappest business card (and sell in) I have ever seen.

A pretty good reason not to enter design competitions. 

Noriko Ambe is a Japanese artist who creates three dimensional sculptural works by hand cutting and laying many sheets of paper.  

When I am drawing or cutting lines, I am interested in observing the power of the changing growing shape. This dynamic shape becomes an entity in itself, “Another geography.” In a sense, the empty space is myself, and the materials represent the present world.

I think these are so beautiful, be sure to check out the full catalogue of works here. Some of her works will be on display in Tokyo as part of the 21_21 design exhibition.
