Monday Bunday: Rabbit Ears by David Rakowski

I’ve always loved this delightful font Rabbit Ears by David Rakowski. It’s subtle enough to use without clients cottoning on that you’ve inserted a rabbit into their design. David is a music composer and font designer. I think those two skills make for an interesting mix. The lower case letters are pretty cute and unassuming, but it’s the uppercase letters that reveal the rabbit ears. Some info I found on David: “DAVID RAKOWSKI teaches music composition and theory at Columbia University, bites his fingernails, lives in a rural setting, doesn’t have enough facial hair for a real beard, makes the world’s greatest pizza, drinks Thai chili pepper sauces by the spoonful, owns three Macintoshes and a canoe, and is one of Amtrak’s major subsidizers. His music is published by C.F. Peters Corporation, 373 Park Avenue South, New York, NY 10016. His wife is named Beth, and his cats are named Poom, Drip, and Bly.

Monday Bunday: This Is Rabbit

This Is Rabbit is a local street artist. His intentions for artwork is like my own: to put a smile on your face. He has a doodle-a-day project going this year which can be found at his website.

Monday Bunday: Moon Rabbit

Taiwanese designer Hsia-Ying Lin has worked together with craft artisan Jun-Ching Tang on ‘Moon Rabbit’ cup and plate. Made from black clay, these tableware pieces interpret the famous chinese fairytale of the rabbit on the moon, commemorated every autumn in taiwan during the moon festival celebrations. Lin and Tang have designed a cup in which the rabbit sips the water within along the lip of the vessel; and a plate where a rabbit is found sitting on its edge,its stretched ‘reflection’ becoming the dish itself. A collection of Moon Rabbit cups and plates. This collection has a sombre, serious tone. They’re fun, but not in a “let’s hold hands and frolic in the sunshine” kind of way. It must be the black clay. There is something very grown up about black clay.

Tuesday breakfast

This morning, as I was eating this pretty breakfast of beetroot chutney and avocado on toast, I spied someone else enjoying their breakfast… More specifically, I saw someone else enjoy a silverbeet in my garden. Not just the tops, but the roots too. Busted!
