Takagi Masakatsu

A Japanese muitimedia artist, Masakatsu san creates music primarily of the experimental kind. Using final cut pro and his quirky observations of people he develops a visual story for the the audio pieces.

My favourite is J.F.P in the Joural for people album. It doesn't fit into any genre that I can relate to, but has been classed as 'electronica', but it has a timeless and chilled quality to it.

Job Wouters is a Dutch typographic artist that incorporates illustrative style hand-crafted letterforms.

I came across a documentary process of Job and his 5 year old creating characters a-z, and it is adaptly titled this.

The simplicity of strokes and controlled formation of the top halves of these is incredibly masterful. Without mistakes or erasing, but committed accuracy.




I found the comparisions of the two styles very refreshing...

The 5 year old formed unrefined type, with less precision but delivered a uniqueness to a unpredictable spontaneous typeface.
