Anyone Can Color

Back in 1997 Plazm curated a 32-page coloring book featuring a great range of artists from Raymond Pettibon to Kay Slusarenko. A full list of contributors is below. The coloring book was originally inserted into each issue of Plazm 16, we had a release party with giant blowups of each of the pages in the coloring book, and lots of crayons. Now, anyone can color some more since you can download a free version of the full coloring book here.

Clobber Grotesk Bold

Clobber Grotesk Bold is a new typeface just released via MyFonts. It was one of a two-part family originally designed for a metal-cutting business, as they were seeking bold letterforms for their custom aluminum furniture that would be readable at very small sizes.

Clobber is a fairly traditional grotesk, designed in the same vein as Akzidenz Grotesk and a number of anonymous grotesks, though with the addition of slightly flared terminals.
