Thaipography: Books and Coffee.

Today's entry comes from Black Canyon Coffee, in the Silom Complex at the Sala Daeng stop on the BTS. Yesterday was spent hitting the bookstores and reading magazines. Bought several issues of Art4D for the folks back in Saigon. I will meet Som at Jim Thompson today and hopefully Jeab later on this evening. Tomorrow I will likely take off to Chiang Mai to follow up on the Media Ethnology platform at the CMU Design and Media Arts Department. Also look into scholarship opportunities for a friend back in Saigon. Bangkok is a moving city. I can only think what HCMC would be if we had the arts and design information that artists and students have access to here. Read an interesting article on Pongstorn Limanon, a designer working with typeface design. The article was called, Thaipography.
