Etsy Tuesday : Modern Pop is Awesome!
I was searching for something to post here on the ole blog for Etsy Tuesday (which has apologically been on a few week hitatus for no good reason), just typing ‘helvetica’ in the search, knowing something awesome would come up in the results. And boy, did something awesome come up in the return: the Ode...
Red French Press
Hello, Little Red Press…You are very cute. You should come live at my house and make me coffee. That would be amazing.
Family Meeting : I’m selfish, but I’m trying not to be
(or, why I really don’t shop at Wal-Mart)
As you know, I usually don’t write a lot about my personal life, really for no reason other than this is a place for cool links of pretty things and not my Diaryland page from 2001. BUT, I came across an article at GOOD about Wal-Mart and it made me think of something I thought...
Awesome Posters : Dirk Fowler
Dirk Fowler of F2-Design has a great collection of show posters he’s created, most with sly visual puns and super style. I found these over at GrainEdit, who pointed out that they, like many people, start into graphic design creating things like band posters, and I have to totally agree! That’s how I started in...

Wow : IdeaPaint
This is one of the most amazing ideas ever : IdeaPaint creates a white, dry erase board anywhere it’s painted. I thought it all stopped with chalkboard paint, but boy was I wrong. IdeaPaint comes in up to 10 different colors and just rolls right now and can be painted over with no hassle. It’s...

Pardon My Hindi : Mumbai Smoke Silkscreen Print
Lovely poster from Pardon My Hindi, which is sort of like a dude and a group-input, and sort of ezine collective (?-I’m making this up) that produces prints, shirts, and buttons and other random stuff for the internets. ANYWAYS, the stuff is super cool. I really like this poster. I don’t know if its the...

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...

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!). ...
