10 Super Cool Ampersand Gifts
A true love and adoration for the ampersand, I think, is something that separates the people who love typography and design in a healthy and sane way from the crazy, lunatic people who love type just a little more than they probably should. The ampersand is this graphic symbol that has turned into a kind...

Illustration Thursday:
6 Vintage Illustration Sets on Flickr
I ran out of time putting this together yesterday, so here’s this week’s Illustration Thursday: Vintage Illustrations, especially that from the 1950s-early 1970s, are some of my favorite things. The style, the use of line work, the color, printing process-it’s just all awesome. Anyways, I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite vintage...
To the Cinema! : 500 Days of Summer
So, sort of related, but not really: I started writing on a semi-consistent (like at least once a week or so, if not more) about 2 years ago, when I was still in college. I would write just about my day or school or whatever other post-adolescent idealist idea that I had and needed to...
Co-Op Stamp : Belgium 1970
This is a great find from over at GrainEdit: a postage stamp promoting ‘international coopertaive alliance” from Belgium. Three cheers, this is awesome. I love the repetitive style and the orange used. And I’m pretty sure that typeface in the orange field is a straight rip-off of the ABC logo designed by Paul Rand in...

Web Wednesday: Markit.net
Something I totally wish I had while I was still in college: MarkIt is a ‘Web 2.0′ application that allows you to bookmark stuff by highlighting right on the page. This is such a good idea and a good start to these kinds of web applications. Cheers! Found via SwissMiss

I haven’t been this jealous of someone in a long time. Here’s a video of Len Peralta illustrating the world’s more super of villains. I know this video is in double-time, but come on!

Skinny Ships, Things I Like
I’m going to have to agree with Richard Perez here, the man behind Skinny Ships, and say that these are Things I Like too. This great self-promo poster was a series of hand-screened 5 color posters and were for awhile sold over on Etsy. (I hope they will be again soon, Rich… hook me up!). ...
