Aren’t you cheeky
« Previous EntriesDesign Police.
Thursday, March 5th, 2009Hate Comic Sans? Horrible stock photos? Bad writing? Download Design Police‘s Visual Enforcement Kit and plaster everything with these little stickies. (Kind of like the ones that come in my issues of Domino, but more righteous.) (Thanks Julie!)
Fomato for all.
Monday, March 2nd, 2009At last! My favorite absurdist cards are now available online at Fomato’s shop. Here are some highlights (“It’s pizza’s job to be incredible”? “I’m busy with this burrito”? “It is a super ugly mango”? I’m totally laugh-crying here).
Wine and olives.
Friday, July 4th, 2008An excerpt from a recent gchat (as you can see, we apparently think about food all workday)… 11:28 AM Melissa: i am brainstorming for our date 11:37 AM Melissa: i was thinking rustic kitchen because they have amazing olives 11:39 AM me: ooo you just said the magic words 11:41 AM Melissa: ding ding ding [...]
I facestalk you every day.
Monday, June 2nd, 2008O, the world we live in… This is based on a gchat I actually had. I’m guessing this speaks to more people than would readily admit it. To send this to a stalkee, you’ll need: 4-bar folded cards in Superfine White my card-sized printable design Or, if you’d prefer to print to a standard-sized sheet [...]
Par Amour.
Friday, May 30th, 2008I heard from Basak Miller earlier this week, telling me about her new line of greeting cards, T-shirts, and totes at the New York-based Par Amour Designs. Originally from Istanbul, Basak combines her interests in screenwriting and graphic design in these cheeky yet elegant cards (and you know I like a little sass in this [...]
Uncooked.
Friday, May 2nd, 2008Loving the raw (no pun intended) absurdity of these well-intentioned but half-cocked captions floating above cheerfully wavering graphics – especially the Mother’s Day card (lower right) from the now four-year-old, New York-based Uncooked. Check out their online shop for many more!
Zeichen Press.
Friday, April 25th, 2008Fran Shea emailed me about her and business partner Jen’s line of greeting cards, coasters, and “can cards” over at the Minneapolis-based Zeichen Press, and I’m loving the quirky and matter-of-fact messages. Come on, “I’m glad you’re having a baby and I’m not”? (I think we can all secretly relate.) Zeichen Press’ products are letterpress [...]
Tongue in cheek.
Monday, March 24th, 2008I always appreciate a little wink-wink irony, and I’ve found it in PolYesterday’s “Insert Artwork Here” print. Does this remind anyone else of this cheeky Magritte? Via Design for Mankind.
Earmark.
Friday, February 22nd, 2008Love the varied styles of paper goods over at Earmark – I’ve found everything from sweet to cheeky to vintage to classic. Here is a sampling (and obviously, I’m nursing a soft spot for the Geek Love notecard). Check out their Etsy shop here, or take a look at their website for more information on [...]
Sorry, what did you say?
Monday, February 11th, 2008This is genius. Seriously. I don’t have any further commentary. Inexplicable naughtiness available singly or in sets of six cards from BellaMuse.
Spontaneous adoration.
Monday, February 11th, 2008Carry these around in your back pocket, and you’ll never again be caught empty-handed when you need to dash off a quick… love note? (Well, you never know!) Check out the cute message on the package. Available at Greer Chicago. Via Black*Eiffel.
I could just eat them up.
Friday, February 1st, 2008They’re that cute. A quickie but a good one for Friday: letterpressed blobs and grinning sea monkeys in love from Chicago-based Erica Barraca’s littlepretty. Via Paper Crave.
