must get my hands on this book

This morning I came across this book on designworklife (one of a few blogs I make sure to check daily).

Amazon has a few of this companies book available, but the pattern version doesn't seem to be there yet. I cannot wait to get my own copy of the Exciting World of Pattern.

 

holiday gifts: hotdogs & catsup

a friend of mine makes these adorable stuffed puppies and kitties. they come in a variety of patterns and colors...they are super cute!! Each animal is unique and beautifully handcrafted. Email Lindsey for more information, hotdogsandcatsup@gmail.com.

really?

i just received this email


I'm intrigued...but a little sad that letterpress has become so main stream.

New Work: The Most Vintage Brew Line

My boyfriend Matt is looking for a copywriting position. This weekend I helped him create "The Most Vintage Brew Line" which is an anagram of Matthew Livingstone Beer.

I need to take some better pictures but the project turned out really well. Matt wrote all the copy and I did design. Each bottle has his resume as the nutritional information. Printed on brown craft paper, the labels definitely have a vintage feeling. We also included coaster business cards with his contact information.

A side note - the Hot & Honey website is going to launch shortly, along with the Hot & Honey Blog and our etsy shop. Lots of exciting stuff in the works.

Happy Monday!

Daily Drop Cap

I have posted about Jessica Hische before...she is an incredible illustrator & typographer! She has a new blog called Daily Drop Cap where everyday she will post a new hand drawn letter. The most exciting part is that they will be available for personal use... I cannot wait to see the G!
