I enjoyed this compelling interview on MyFonts.com with master of illustration, graphic art and typography Michael Doret.

House Industries gets moving

I've been a fan of the Type Foundry House Industries since my buddies Rob Dennis and Ash Ringrose introduced me to their typefaces through this book. House have always done self-promotion really well and this video is no exception.

From House: a kaleidoscope of House Industries techniques, substrates, disciplines and muscle memory compressed into high-definition pixels and actively matrixed through modulated electroluminescence with an audio lesson from The Bird and The Bee. Many thanks to Inara George and Greg Kurstin for loaning us their Polite Dance Song (under license from EMI). The House Industries trailer is directed by Andy Cruz and filmed by Carlos Alejandro.

I was disapointed I couldn't embed the video so I emailed House with a WTF? I got a prompt reply from Rich Roat himself telling me the embed was unavailable due to licensing restrictions of the track in the vid. Rich thought it was worth the trade-off... I agree.
