Thursday, October 30th, 2008I’m lusting after the papers that New Jersey printshop 9SpotMonk uses for their line of notes and cards - all beautifully tactile reclaimed cotton, which allows for a really deep imprint. Here are some snippets from 9SpotMonk’s collection of readymade notes and cards as well as custom design work for weddings, announcements, and invitations.

All business. Mostly.
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008Your whole professional identity is a lot to cram onto a little card - but these beautifully designed business cards seem to manage. Ranging from the utterly minimalist to complex contraptions that pop out and fold in on themselves, they experiment with shapes and materials and are all ultimately both utilitarian and beautiful. [...]
Textiles.
Monday, October 27th, 2008A little aside from paper to bring you a few textile-centric creations from all over the map. Below are Swedish design-inspired drawstring bags from Portland-based Design Night, raw wool cozies from Berlin design house
Draw your greens.
Friday, October 24th, 2008Ooo… I love Brooklyn designer’s Natsumi Nishizumi’s sure-handed yet dreamy ink and watercolor drawings. Here are a few I like, but be sure to visit her blog to have a look at her other, more abstract ones too - all so airy.
Well, it’s true.
Friday, October 24th, 2008Well, it is - at least in my well-documented opinion. Pair of letterpress calendars printed on 100% recycled white card stock with 12-month tear away calendar by Knoxville-based Yee-Haw Industrial Letterpress, available at Paper ‘n’ Stitch. Check out their blog for more!
Feeling rustic.
Monday, October 20th, 2008I spent a crisp autumn afternoon doing a little autumn farm-hopping yesterday. After a few farm animal encounters and with freshly-pressed cider and doughnuts within me and postcard-perfect New England scenery without, it seems like a good time to share a few gems that give off that same rustic feel…
Shown above are: Sour cream [...]
Speaking of which…
Friday, October 17th, 2008Speaking of Bella Muse, I’m enjoying these richly textured little letterpressed luxuries of theirs. Take a peek at their beautiful work.
Lucky New York locals can also check it out in person at the Bella Muse Art Stand on weekends in Soho (West Broadway @ Spring Street). Click here for for more details!
Scribbles.
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008Love these two scribble-centric prints from Bella Muse and Ole Ivar Rudi. The first is a tongue-in-cheek commentary - which I’m sure some of my more skeptical readers will agree with - on art in greeting card form (also available as a matted print); the second, a light-hearted sketch of the “tools of the [...]
Creepies.
Friday, October 10th, 2008When did it get so cold out? I was just hitting my stride tan- and A/C usage-wise when suddenly, it was fall. Alas. Though I prefer summer, at least the change in season means I can have pumpkin pie (best pie ever) and take my fierce boots out of storage.
It also means [...]
I am what I… am served in targeted interwebs ad placements?
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008Working at a digital advertising agency makes me hyperaware of the targeted content I am served on the interwebs. Usually, and to my chagrin, the Face likes to serve me ads like “25 and sick of your love handles?” with truly unappealing visuals in its seemingly innocuous right sidebar placement. But yesterday, after [...]
Prairie cabin.
Monday, October 6th, 2008Love this little vase from the Loyal Loot collective’s Dara Humniski. An idyllic porcelain landscape rolls and swells beneath a big bloom, and just under it - look close - is a tiny house.
