Pick Me Up Exhibition.

The second edition of Pick Me Up, the UK’s first contemporary graphic art fair. Due to popular demand after the fair’s successful launch in April 2010, Pick Me Up takes place at Somerset House, Embankment Galleries, London until Thursday for a celebration of graphic art.

The best, most innovative and avant-garde graphic artists, collectives and galleries from the UK and across the world are exhibiting and offering an exuberant mix of artworks for sale. Somerset House is once again a platform for the graphic art and design community and a great place to experience first hand the energy and excitement of the graphic art scene.

A lively programme of events and activities accompanies the fair, including an open studio from designer Anthony Burrill.

17th March - 27th March. Last year it was brilliant, a definite must see!

The Cyclotrope is an ingenious short animation by Tim Wheatley. By affixing a sequence of 18 objects to the wheel and rotating at just the right speed the illusion of animation is created.

n9ve: The Alphabet

The Alphabet from n9ve on Vimeo.

Italian designer and animator n9ve embraces fonts and animations with his video aptly titled “The Alphabet”. The short one minute video takes you through an alphabetical ride as it matches up each respective letter with a font of the same starting letter. The most popular fonts are represented as well as some new ones that you probably weren’t aware of representing the more obscure letters down the line.
