Cool Things of the Week #23

So I kind of fell off of the Cool Things of the Week bandwagon for a while, but I'm bringing it back!

1. Monty the Cat with the Unusual Face / DesignTaxi

How freaking cute is Monty?! He's missing his nasal bone but I think it makes him more adorable. 

2. Aerial Bold: A Typeface Formed with Satellite Footage / DesignTaxi

A designer and a photographer teamed up to create a typeface out of aerial imagery of buildings and houses, and it's pretty amazing.

3. The Pantone Hotel Has Arrived / Co.Design

It's just what it sounds like, and it looks awesome. It's in Brussels, which has put Brussels on my list of places I have to go. 

4. 25 Cats Named Sam...Andy Warhol's Collaboration with His Mother / Brain Pickings

Andy Warhol's cat illustrations are some of my favorite works of his, so I was super excited when I saw this article. This article showcases a lot of his cat illustrations as well as the collaboration he did with his mother (who was also an illustrator), which is not widely known. Great article.

5. Designer & Letterer Lauren Hom Creates Chalkboard Art in Exchange for Lunch / DesignTaxi

Lauren Hom (of the popular Daily Dishonesty) made a project out of doing chalkboard art for restaurants and cafes, asking only for lunch in exchange for her work. This is such a great idea and her work is amazing and inspiring.
