I know I shouldn't. I have a life ahead of me. But what can I do? Work can be very addictive.

I love learning, and I think I'm still not getting enough. I don't want more work though. The load that I have now leaves me with no choice but to let caffeine run my system, and it's not doing me any good. I feel so, so high.

Like I promised, but not really promised, I'm posting posters of Leonardo Sonnoli. I didn't feel good about that being selfish thing.





I think what can cure my caffeine cancer is one muscle-shattering wall climb, or at least some sleep.
Thought of changing it for the new year. It has always been something with a Natalie Portman touch, but I'm growing up and Nat is now more like a childhood crush to me. Well, sorta.

So what's with that mystery person picture up there? It's a high school artifact from a school play where I starred as a dumb detective with my hair sticking up. Worst role ever. I just feel like this blog's gotta have personality, man!

I hope it works.
Blog World to Mimi: Welcome back!
Mimi to Blog World: Thanks. I needed that.


I've always loved looking at posters. When I was in high school, I looked at posters everytime I went online - allposters.com - more than I visited natalieportman.com. I used up my hard drive saving every nice poster (and Natalie photo) I could find. Now, I'm taking my pathetic secret hobby to the next level.

Got myself a big, heavy coffee table book about groundbreaking posters and the famous designers who made them. Up Against the Wall (2003) by Ian Noble has a lot to say about posters being more than just a commercial endeavor. The book says that billboards are not considered posters! Not that they're up there and huge since many posters are like that, but they weaken the essence of making posters. Posters gotta be ideological, expressing culture and advocacies. They're the it of propaganda and activism and stuff alike. At the same time, they're the forefathers of graphic design - they are marks of history!

I guess Fine Arts students know a lot about that. I don't. I'm Mass Comm.

Love the works of minimalist Leonardo Sonnoli, the graphic artist of the city of Pesaro, Italia. But I'm not going to post any of his works here, unless I change my mind. I guess I'm being selfish but they're too beautiful to be posted in this humble blog. Instead, here are some of the posters that I just love so much and want to share with you guys. Enjoy!


1. by Pete Pocs - reference to the uprising in 1956 against communism in Hungary
2. by Teresa Sdralevich - "The Boomerang" against the return of the right wing ideology in Europe
3. by photographer Maryam Zandi and designer Emrahim Haghighi - portrait of Iranian painter Aidin Aghdashlu

The only way to really change society is through culture ... it's not through force, it's not through armies, it's not through politics (but) through freedom.
~Dony McManus, artist

You are a fine person, Mr. Baggins ... but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all!
