John Tilley: Born to Blog

I like to find art and write poems and read magazines and listen to my iPod and daydream and walk my neighbor's dog - that one's my favorite

Alex Trochut gets Goofy






Alex Trochut is an awfully inventive fella. His compositions have an extremely flowing, smooth quality; edges are clean and rounded, colors are solid and bold. Ambiguity is rampant and playful. His word designs, while they look simple at first, are some of his most elegant works, looping and swirling through the visual field, making our eye work hard but not too hard, lulling us into the labyrinths of our letters, words, and language.

What cereal box character would you most want to be for Halloween?

Daffodils Grow where the Fun People Go

The thing about blogging is that it has now become the new tool by which the world is changed. Politics, fashion, art, television – you name it, we got it. It's not just the Internet anymore: it's YOUR Internet, it's OUR Internet. You can put your whole life online, and people will actually look at it, read it, feel it as if they almost knew you. Maybe that article you uploaded just for fun and because you thought it was cool will be discovered by a magazine editor who happens to be a blog junkie, or maybe that geeky little film you made at film camp will be watched by Wes Anderson – and even if he doesn't call you up and “discover you,” it's still really cool that he saw your video. When thinking about the Internet, I think of the ocean (and this metaphor is purely because I live in the Midwest): It's always there, it affects the weather, it affects the moon, it affects our lives even in Nebraska. Same with the Internet. It's there, it just affects different things.And you can't just yank out a big plug and BOOM, there goes the Internet. So this is my contribution to the huge ocean of Internet, the gigantic voice that we can all use.
