Not sure if you remember a much older post I made about the Jay Z “Brooklyn Go Hard” video… if not you should investigate Evan Roth’s graphic art (among his various other talents!) using typography – recently I started to wonder what he is up to and what his other work is like –> I checked out his website and found he has many other amazing (seriously amazing) work… if you go to the link above you will have the option to watch some other videos similar to the Jay Z one – with music from led zepplin, jose feliciano, and others using different fonts.

“…artist with interests in technology, tools of empowerment, open source, and popular culture. Roth graduated from the University of Maryland with a B.S. in architecture. After working as an autocad monkey for a year inDC and another two in LA he returned to the east coast to attend the Parsons Design + Technology MFA program where he was awarded a 5′ plastic trophy for graduating as valedictorian. During this time he developed Typographic IllustrationExplicit Content OnlyGraffiti Taxonomy and his thesis project, Graffiti Analysis.

After Parsons, Evan spent two years experimenting in creative open source R&D at the Eyebeam OpenLab where he created aslew of projects and co-founded the Graffiti Research Lab. Currently Roth is teaching MFA courses at Parsons ranging fromvisual programming to internet fame to geek graffiti (a course labeled “an invitation to break the law” by city council memeber Peter Vallone Jr.), and is in the process of co-founding F.A.T.(Free Art & Technology), Brooklyn’s first and only R&D lab for the public domain.

Roth’s projects have recently shown at the Sundance Film Festival, the Moma, the Tate, the New Museum, and on BET. Evan’s work has been published in the New York Times, Time magazine, Rolling Sone, and Esquire, and is the number one return for the google search “bad ass mother fucker”.

Evan lives in Hong Kong with his wife and enjoys spending his free time violating laws related to copyright and vandalism. Current and past work is archived at evan-roth.com.”

What I like about these symbols is how they are simplistic but bold… the artist obviously has a particular style that you can identify at a first glance… but I am not sure exactly why – which is one of my favorite things!!!

Jolie is on the board of advisors for the Yéle Haiti Foundation, and with Brad Pitt took time to help Wyclef Jean with his Clean Streets project. Jolie also arranged a deal with People Magazine allowing them to print the first picture showing her visibly pregnant in exchange for a $500,000 donation to the charity.

Angelina has been travelling to refugee camps around the world since filming Tomb Raider. During her missions she has visited places including Sudan’s war-torn Darfur, Sierra Leone, Cambodia and Tanzania. She also visited Afghan refugees in Pakistan and donated $1 million to help.

Jolie is known to cover all of her costs while on missions, and shares the working and living conditions as the UNHCR field staff.

Jolie published Notes from My Travels, a collection of journal entries that chronicle her early field missions (2001-2002) with proceeds benefitting UNHCR.

According to tax records, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt donated more than $8 million to charity in 2006 alone.

In January, 2008, Jolie and her brother, James Haven, marked the first anniversary of their mother’s death from ovarian cancer by making an undisclosed donation to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.”
