INVISIBLE CREATURE INTERVIEW
01.09.08
A few months ago I was thinking about the sad, painful death of album artwork. The digital download is becoming the standard in the world of music, and with that, the loss of amazing album art is soon to follow. I decided to talk to some of the design studios working primarily in the music field about their thoughts on the fact. Check out the first interview with Invisible Creature conducted for Indie HQ. Check the interview here.

AMERO BY JOYENGINE
01.09.08
In case you’re unfamiliar with the international work-in-progress, named the “Security and Prosperity Partnership Of North America (SPP),” here’s an introduction. The program goal, according to a release by the White House Office of the Press Secretary, is “To enhance the competitive position of North American industries in the global-marketplace and to provide greater economic opportunity for all of our societies, while maintaining high standards of health and safety for our people, the United States, Mexico, and Canada will work together…”
The North American currency union is a proposal in which the three principal countries of North America, namely Canada, the United States and Mexico, would share a common currency. Implementation would probably involve the three countries giving up current currency units (Canadian dollar, US dollar and Mexican peso) and adopting a new one, created specifically for this purpose. The hypothetical currency for the union is sometimes referred to as the amero. The concept is modeled on the common European Union currency (the euro) and it is argued to be a natural extension of NAFTA. Conspiracy theorists contend that the governments of the US, Canada, and Mexico are already taking steps to implement such a currency.
The incredible part of this story is that JoyEngine has been invited to participate in the design of this new currency. The JoyEngine team has started a dialogue with officials involved in the transition.

Matt Gleason on Shepard Fairey
11.28.07
I stumbled upon this interview this morning and was not only disturbed by Matt Gleason’s (editor of Coagula Art Journal) opinion of Shepard Fairey, but found him to be a total asshole. AFter a little recon it seems like many folks have the same opinion. Funny, cuz just yesterday I was involved in some fairly deep discussion about keeping blog based content (particularly ours) positive and avoiding the online dis at all costs. Well, fuck it. Art critics must just really love to hear themselves talk. Jackass, keep your ethereal definitions of art to yourself. The sad thing is I couldn’t help but listen as my ears continued burning. It amazes that people can make careers and be fulfilled by talking shit about artists and their work. Somebody needs to sort out his own issues.If you’ve got the time, listen to the entire interview and form your own opinion.

ALEX HANEL’S TINY ASS COMPUTER
11.24.07
Alex of ihatealex.org just dropped by with his new cpu. To preface, Alex is a reverse software engineer (nerdy right?) and he’s about to blast off to Asia for 8 months, so his new gadget makes sense. It’s wicked small, solid state memory, built in vid. camera (and skype) and the whole deal runs on a Linux system. Beam me up Scotty.
