G1RL5 by Jessica Lichtenstein
She's a Yale-educated lawyer who makes art about female sexuality, anime dolls, and the male gaze — cheerfully and ironically. Jessica Lichtenstein's G1RL5 series places women on a stage for public inspection and asks the viewer to confront their own gaze.
Typozon
He started with a spray can and a tag called Ozon. He ended up at TypeMedia in The Hague. Along the way: graffiti crews in Bogotá, a Rubén Fontana workshop that introduced him to Fontographer, Type@Cooper in New York, and a typeface called Salvaje that became one of the most recognised releases to come out of Colombia. The name was always there: Type + Ozon = Typozon. Bought the domain in 2005. Still using it now, except now it is a studio, a foundry, and a broader point of view on design shaped by collaborators on two continents
