Cavan Huang


I'm a huge fan of his, especially of his prints for  "Dusk" typographic concrete design poem and the Harlem Document project( the first print.) His also does some really cool motions. The way his website is set up also makes it really easy to view all his different pieces and I really like the way his describes his pieces of work. For instance the second one is the result of a twelve week explorative process. And it is in response to an assignment to visually transcribe audio narratives; his is a passage of slurred speeches from street drunks. 
I've learnt from his work that you can have a certain individual style to your work, as he does, but it is important to be interested and produce different ideas too, especially if the criteria is not really to your style. You can see this especially in his videos. Unfortunately I couldn't get them to download.
