Huvudroll's Total Path
Hi everyone! This week we talk about IKEA's brazen theft of artist Tim Lahan's work for their SF food hall; we celebrate weirdo interstitial illustrations in the AutoDesk "State of Design and Make 2024" report; AND we step into the path of social contract totality at the recent total solar eclipse!

Astral Corgi Ego Death w/Holiday Black
This week we’re joined by our friend, Holiday Black. Holiday is a concept-forward art director with a passion for youth culture, creativity, and their two cats. They’ve been art directing for the past four years, and have had the opportunity to work on alcohol, fast food, cars, fashion, and footwear. Outside of work, Holiday can be found crafting, looking for hot springs, reading a book, or googling whether or not mercury is in retrograde. You can find Holiday’s work at www.holiday.black.
We talk with Holiday about their work, royal photoshop fails, corgi eugenics, and design as a portal to spiritual ego death and ultimately enlightenment.
Thanks for listening! Ciao!
Bathed in Bisexual Lighting
This week we spend our life savings on numerological sports betting meal deal life hacks at whop.com; and we quit school to work on our sports betting meal deal life hack startup with a grant from Molly Mielke’s Moth Fund; and then we bathe in the bisexual lighting cast by a full screen view of Monotype’s neuroscience type reports. Turns out we were right all along!
White Wine, White Bread, T9, Tokens
This week we bring fine art to our fine faces with Marina Abramovic’s new line of spiritually-invigorating skincare products. We get a head start on our 2024 thumb fitness goals with T-9 in our TV at CES. AND we go into existential crisis mode in a post-creator world with whatever Metalabel is.
“Don't Drink That!” with special guest David Chathas
This week we talked to David Chathas: a graphic designer, type designer, educator, sometimes artist who would have rather been a UFC fighter. We talked to Dave about lots of things you can and cannot drink: Bud Light (comma) the history of, high end baby skin care products, energy drinks that look like automotive fluids, and automotive fluids that look like energy drinks—we also discussed the etiquette of lurking online, AND the woke Kansas state license plate fiasco (brought to you by Canva)!
