Moustaches Make A Difference is a new awareness campaign and fund raising effort for those with Prostate cancer. We’re embarking on our own journey towards greatness by growing moustaches of our own to raise funds and awareness for the Singapore Prostate Cancer Research Fund. So show your support by donating, and follow our shenanigans on the blog. Saw this campaign a few days ago but just couldn’t work out what it was for. Now I know it definitely seemed worth a post. By itself it’s a great campaign, with excellent timing for Movember. With the additional link to it’s charitable cause and finding something that stands out as manly, but still accessible and fun it’s fantastic. Support the cause or just find out more here.

Unfortunately I don’t own the vinyl for Cannonball Adderley with Bill Evans / Know What I Mean. This aside, it remains a fantastic start to a Wednesday all the same. Waltz For Debby

I&#8217;m getting more and more into McSweeny&#8217;s publications as of late. The San Fransisco Panorama is a one off edition of McSweeny&#8217;s Quarterly, and presents the edition as a Sunday-edition sized newspaper. Comprised of original writing about the Bay area in particular, other columns about other bits generally, and original comic book work, I would love of a copy of this. Shame it costs a fair bit to import. Buy a copy here. See photos of the edition here.

After yesterday’s Chris Ware cover I came across this piece, commissioned for one of the 2009 This American Life live events.

It’s great to see Ware’s work translated to the screen, though there’s something about the design of his layout spreads that’s lost through the medium. That aside the tone is perfect.

Atelier 1A designed the branding identity for &#8216;The Earl of Marchmont&#8217; pub in Edinburgh. In their words of the design process&#8230; —EN When the Ross Family took over a pub in Edinburgh named after Patrick Hume, the 1st Earl of Marchmont they wanted to modernise it&#8217;s interior, menue and it&#8217;s image but pay tribute to it&#8217;s heritage. A mix of minimal type, heraldic illustrations and imagery of the man himself lend a modern &amp; sophisticated quality to this small but cozy pub. Elements of the package don&#8217;t work 100% for me, but the the mark is excellent and completely matches the tone they&#8217;re going for. Check out some more photos here.
