Mike Kus designing his slides

Clitotype 1.0


"In an age where boys learn about sex from internet pornography, I think that it is fundamental to educate and to inform on “real” sex. My work is ironical typographic play on dimensional relationships between type elements and anatomical sexual organs. Titles, leading and column width values have the full size dimensions of human genitalia. I discover that the physiological size of the clitoris extension is type size 36 to 80, and the erectile penis tissue extension goes from 480 to 790. I also identify the pleasure spots (female G-spot and male L-spot), the lubrification glands and their physiological description in relation to the practiced sexual mutilations."-Cristina Chiappini
Roses of Flesh Spines of Light project, which is designed, in part, to shed light on genital mutilation.
AND her humanitarian campaign poster for AIDOS (the Italian Association for Women), which advocates for freedom of choice and other issues affecting women in developing countries:

new Fairey print


Shepard Fairey and Obey Giant will release the fifth print in the Duality of Humanity series, a collaboration with photographer Al Rockoff. I have to say, I’m really liking this one, anyone else?. It’s an 18″ x 24″ screenprint, has an edition of 450, and will be $50. These go up on Wednesday, June 17th at a random time. Visit ObeyGiant.com.
