Visual interpretations of the classic Nike Air Max 1.

A nice visual tribute to the Air Max 1 in the style of Nicholas Felton

Matt Stevens pays homage to his favourite designers and illustrators—including the likes of Nicholas Felton, Armin Vit, Jessica Hische, Aesthetic Apparatus and Olly Moss—with graphic re-interpretations of the classic Nike Air Max 1 for a month. Brilliant idea and great execution, plus it was a great pair of shoes, too.

Dick Bruna.

Some of Dick Bruna's book covers

I only knew Dick Bruna as the guy who drew Miffy. I didn’t realise how sad and pathetic that was until I recently uncovered a lot of his work that didn’t involve Nijntje. His work is minimal, clever and simply beautiful — exactly the things that make Dutch design so special.

I learnt something today.

Not sure if it’s true though. I am still researching, but the drawings on Learn Something Everyday are just great.

Most folks who visit random notes seem to hang around for about 9.842 minutes on average.

My name is and I fear my eyesight is failing, which may force me to increase the type size around here.
