A few weeks ago I discovered the artist Lloyd Schermer, during my visit to the NY Times. After years in publishing and working with lead/wood type, he took to making these typographic sculptures of sorts.

He also makes these nice prints. Just my type of guy.

Two shows worth checking out...

Kevin Lyons presents a show of "printed ephemera and new works" at LA's HVW8 gallery. I've been checking Kevin's work for almost a decade now, from his early work on the NYC music scene in the 90s (he did the Giant Step logo), to his work as the creative director of Urban Outfitters. He's also recently begun a blog on Arkitip, where he outlines his 100 Coolest Dudes ever.

Another talented NYC-based designer, Eric Elms, touches down at Paris's Colette for a solo show this month. Check it out.
