You Make Your Rights

  • Categories: Art

Imagine a world without identity, and what my mind would do trying to wrap itself around the concept of someone trying to sell me the idea of identity. I don’t mean lacking the ability to distinguish ourselves from other entities as separate individuals, I mean the idea of knowing who other people *are*. To relate this to open, let’s step back a moment from the idea of accounts *at all thinks of the internet as just one giant bulletin board, where anyone can leave notes anywhere. you’ve articulated the question well, but then you’ve dropped it, and fallen back to discussing the identity of blog posters again. Identity in a world of physical people you have met, people can talk to in ...

Signs of Fingerprints

Signs Of Fingerprints and the Art of Handwriting is a retrospective of the artistry and craftsmanship of the Artist Graphic Designer Carlos Simpson from the London United Kingdom. All the images in the book are original with carefully selected fonts which represent in the Author opinion the traditional Western Alphabet in a way that the difference can be analyzed between fonts so that when you scan through the pages you are aware of the element variation from font to font and that every mark can express different messages and feelings. In this highly recommended book, the handwriting line drawings were used mostly raw materials to represent fingerprints to emphasize the idea of identity to better understand the relationship between typography and identity but also to create a manual that anyone interested in typography and handwriting can use as a reference.

Politics Design

  • Categories: Art

2016 has been a very intense, full year of events and Politics Design. Very different from any previous one’s. With regard to politics, seems like they were all over the media and for the first time, Fake News were an essential topic of any social-political debate. Being accustomed to posters, signs, stickers, etc., exclusively based on typography and layout. This time it was somehow different and social networks exclusively Twitter and Facebook have assumed an extremely fundamental role in elections both in Europe – UK ‘Brexit‘ and in the United States the emergence of a new character named Donald Trump. From here we can see that information and manipulation of information was the k...

My 2020 Lockdown Project

  • Categories: Art

After spending the year 2019/2020 capturing the views, feelings, and hopes of people of all ages and diverse cultures living through challenging times of the COVID-19 lockdown including myself I’ve decided to express my thoughts and feelings through something new. So, I challenged my usual way of thinking as well as the creative process (“in the moment”) improvising music with the aim to create freely and spontaneously. Because of my lack of experience in music, it was a fun and interesting process to learn at the same time as making. As a result, four albums arose: Love Is the Secret, Illegal Migrant, Tribal Soul, and Memórias do Vento. All of them were released at the end of the year 2020 around Christmas time. All the images in this book were painted also during the Covid19 lockdown with a specific medium and technique as part of the "My 2020 Lockdown project".

In the Survivor Guide by Carlos Simpson, the author shares some of his raw ideas and thoughts using a wide variety of techniques ranging from pencil drawings to watercolour, collage to coloured pencils, to pen and ink, handwriting, colours, photography, symbols, and information that we use every day. This sketchbook by Carlos Simpson explores the individual in a social, cultural, and political context. As a specialist communicator and an image-maker, I always start my first idea on a blank page which can be found always in my sketchbook.

Almost the only indisputable fact about Colonel Tom Parker is that he was the manager of the greatest performer in popular music: Elvis Presley. His real name wasn’t Tom Parker †“ indeed, he wasn’t an American at all, but a Dutch immigrant called Andreas van Kujik. And he certainly wasn’t a proper military colonel: he purchased his title from a man in Louisiana. But while the Colonel has long been acknowledged as something of a charlatan, this book is the first to reveal the extraordinary extent of the secrets he concealed, and the consequences for the career, and ultimately the life, of the star he managed. As Alanna Nash’ prodigious research has disco...
