If you’re not sure who Futura is, you need to recognise. Go and look at his website. It’s a bit odd, and actually I think I prefer the older version of it which was really odd but it’s still worth a peep. Probably my all-time favourite artist/designer.. there’s just something about those shapes and colours that I always think is awesome. Not to mention his earlier graffiti work. The man is a legend. One of my top inspirational books is this which by the looks of it is rather hard to get hold of nowadays. Yay for being ahead of the game.
But anyway, there’s a small piece on him in issue 50 of vapors magazine. To be honest, it’s not the most in depth interview but it’s nice to see that he’s still doing stuff. I feel like I haven’t been aware of any new work for a long time, but maybe that’s just me being out of the loop. In fact, I did miss this Burton snowboard design which is supremely fresh. If I could snowboard, that’d be my shit.
So yeah, go and read the article.. and have a look at the other stuff in the magazine. It’s a good issue (some GZA, UNKLE, Jean Grae and other stuff inside).



thank you sir. that’s very kind. BTW: the ANCIENT labyrinth that is my ORIGINAL domain can still be found VIA the external LYNX from the nuevo calenderio edition. meanwhile I can be found on FLICKR.

Not at all, it’s my pleasure
And, for anyone who wants to see the older version of the site, it is indeed like the man says, still online.. but in case you can’t find it, try this: http://home.dti.net/futura/model.htm. It’s all over the place and takes exploring but is totally worth it. I remember trying to make a similar site many many moons ago but quickly realised I didn’t have even remotely near enough content to flesh out the pages haha..
Go and get lost in the site.. it’s great..
