Grafikdesigner lieben Musik. Das zeigt nicht zuletzt die große Begeisterung der Leser des Typografie-Magazins „Slanted" für die Rubrik „Typo Lyrics", in der Gestalter Musik mithilfe von Schrift ganz neu interpretieren. Für die gleichnamige Publikation haben sich renommierte Grafikdesigner wie Fons Hickmann sowie junge Talente aus der ganzen Welt von Songtexten zu innovativen Font-Designs inspirieren lassen. Entstanden ist eine Sammlung faszinierender Visuals – „Schriftbilder", die zeitgenössische Fonts auf eine etwas andere Weise präsentieren. Das außergewöhnliche Zusammenspiel von Schriftgestaltung und Musik macht die Fonts lebendig und bringt sie regelrecht zum Tanzen. Im Gegensatz zu klassischen Musterbüchern oder Schriftenfächern wird so ein besonderer, emotionaler Zugang zur Typografie geschaffen, der das große Ausdruckspotenzial von Schriften deutlich macht. Analog zur traditionellen Schriftklassifikation gliedert sich das Buch in elf Kapitel, die sich jeweils mit einer Schriftfamilie und Songtexten einer bestimmten Musikrichtung auseinandersetzen.

SOFT SUCK is the third monograph (2009 - 2020) of the artist Thomas Schostok aka (ths) and the direct successor to his book HARD BLOW published in 2008.SOFT SUCK is a raw compilation (chopped art) of his works, this time in the subsequent years between 2009 - 2020. The concept remains the same: no texts, no descriptions and now we understand that this is exactly the "artist statement" that many people need to get an idea of the artist. The process of creating is the "artist statement", it's nothing but details. Unlike in HARD BLOW, however, here we see his art mostly as a whole picture, even though no effort was made to create a typical boring art book with a nice layout. The art is and always will be the layout, and the viewer is left longing for the habit.

In March 2006, the residents of 911 Prestes Maia, a ramshackle tower block in the centre of Sao Paulo, were surprised to learn that they were to be evicted within 28 days. The building, neglected by its landlord and thought to be empty, was actually home to 468 families with 315 children. These residents had driven out the vermin and the drug dealers and cleaned the place up - creating possibly the largest squat in the world. Bittencourt's photos are a powerful record of this diverse community.
