Japanese gaming giant Sony makes a strong play for Nintendo Wii market share with their latest announcement. The PlayStation Move motion controller (for PS3) functions much like Nintendo’s Wii Remote and Nunchuck, working in conjunction with the PlayStation Eye camera and a sub-controller – though Sony claims their version is much more accurate. And you can play in HD. We’ll have to wait and see if this can compete with a traditional controller/Wii gaming. The PlayStation Move releases sometime this Fall.

Sony PlayStation Move video follows after the click along with more shots of the controller.

Internationally known artist, graphic designer and art director Niels Meulman a/k/a “Shoe” will release a book compiling some of his best work from over the past 30 years.

Meulman began tagging “Shoe” in 1979 and became a graffiti legend by the time he was 18. In the 80’s Shoe formed the United Street Artists alongside Delta, Joker, Jezis and Jaz, as well as the Crime Time Kings with Bando from Paris and Mode2 from London. Together they gave graffiti in Europe its own distinctive style. In the 90’s he furthered his technique by apprenticing under the Dutch graphic design master Anthon Beeke.

After that, Shoe ran his own design company, Caulfield & Tensing and was partner in ad agency Unruly, which he later turned into a brand for silk scarves. Shoe revolutionized the art of writing with Calligraffiti, an art form that fuses calligraphy and graffiti. He launched this movement in 2007 with a successful solo exhibition in Amsterdam. Since then, his Calligraffiti pieces (signed NSM) can be seen in various international exhibitions.

Shoe’s design, typography and Calligraffiti works throughout the years have now been neatly documented in the form of a great book: “Calligraffiti: The graphic art of Niels Shoe Meulman” (From Here To Fame Publishing), with a written preface by John Langdon and introduction by Adam Eeuwens. The book will be presented alongside an extensive exhibition/lecture tour across the globe, hitting up the USA, South America, China and various European cities.

Hit the leap for more looks at the book and a full Calligraffiti book tour schedule.
