To counter the creepiness of last week's creepy Craft Rock Friday, today's music video is full of bright, cheery, poppy, rainbow colours -- and the sound to match. Plus, oodles of typography made from found objects, which always makes me happy.
This is Softlightes' "Heart Made of Sound".

'Tis the season to spread some love and cheer.
Booooooom.com is doing their part to share some smiles with its Free Encouragement project. Just email them your message of encouragement to display on their blog.
If you have something nice to say, read the project instructions and get involved. Or just bask in the love by browsing the entries. Booooooom will be posting more messages throughout December.
Nice messages and nice typography. Now that's a nice combo.
Get 'em in your inbox every day by signing up for The Daily Aphorism.
It's a great way to make you smile (or think!) in the morning. You can also print out your favourite aphorism to make an instant poster.

David Fullarton's artwork continues to crack me up.
Brilliant. I also love his perfectly imperfect handwriting and collagey drawings.
Check out more awesomeness on his flickr.
Three reasons this video is so very rad:
1. Huge, almost Sesame Street style letters.
2. Dancing like mad, while staying in pretty much one spot.
3. Singing in French.

You can listen to more Yelle on their MySpace (but be warned your head may explode if you look at that page for more than two seconds.)
Letterpress is one of the craftforms that I love, but will probably never do. It's a little mystical and magical to me, because it uses huge machines and lots of supplies - all those beautiful little letterforms! It's a little like Mr Wonka's chocolate factory - how do they make all those delicious chocolates when no workers go in or out of the factory? Magic, right?
Ah, well thanks to Hatch Show Print, you can see the Oompa-Loompas of Letterpress. So to speak. In other words, it's a great intro and tour of their letterpress operations.
If you want to read more about Hatch Show Print, Uppercase ran a nice article about them a couple of years ago. Also check out Hatch Show Print's website for a 360 degree tour of their studio. Get ready to be jealous.

This is the best video I've seen in a long time.
The hands on the right belong to Job Wouters, a fantastic lettering fanatic from Amsterdam. The (smaller) hands on the left belong to his nephew, Gradus, who's just four years old.
Spontanious jam sessions in our studio inspired us to make this video about the fun of drawing letters.
