Yee-haw
Congratulations to Sharon Lock and Yukari Schrickel of Design Studio fame, who created this gorge music video for Cheval Sombre’s ‘Grand Canyon’. Made with a nifty combo of AfterEffects, cel animation and wood type hand letterpress, printed in our own London ‘hood at St. Bride’s Foundation, it’s a masterclass in motion magic
If you’re interested in picking up similar mad type skillz just minutes away from 28CL, check out the Foundation’s upcoming line-up right here
(Under) 30 and thriving
Bravo to Michelle Lee, who has been named one of The Drum’s 50 Under 30 in the US, in a showcasing of outstanding breakthrough talent; read her full profile HERE
Michelle also kindly took a turn in the [FRAMED] hot seat – dig in to find out what this woman can do amid airplane turbulence, and a fact about butterflies you never knew you needed
More reads, you ask? Hella yes. Welcome also to Amanda Barrios, Training Manager in Montréal: pro-puppies, pro-JVN, there’s a lot to love here (French edition available aussi)
So sweet

The team’s travels inspired one of the cutest internal videos I have seen to date: proudly presenting OUR WELSH TALKING HEADS (a click through to Front has never been so worthy)
One of said Welsh, Tim Webber, features in this article from Unreal on #virtualproduction, #gratuitoushashtag
Party in the footnotes
No place I’d rather be on a Friday eve. Fresh in Internet finds:
File it under writing porn, this top-notch punnery makes you (me) proud to be British
Calling it now, new in #holidayspam, it’s the Titanic II #jackandroseselfie
AI artwork. Sold, but I’m not sold
Soothe your emotional crises (like our impending goodbye) with Netflix’ top binge races, it’s a term, look it up
Dragging it out with a sunset. It’s a metaphor (cheers SKelly)
And with that, the end. #181 out 🙋
