This Silk site completely sucked me in... there's something so satisfying it. Go. Make! Now!

MIA: Get Graphic

Wow, sorry for the week delay! Surprisingly, that's the longest I've gone between posts in over a year!

To get back on track I thought I'd tell ya'll about a fantastic FREE EVENT tomorrow at the MIA (Minneapolis Institute of Arts). Get Graphic is going to be an evening of poster art, wood type, and music.  Co-sponsored by AIGA MN, my über favorite wood type nerds, Hamilton Wood Type Museum will be there- which should be reason enough to venture out on a Thursday night.


Oh yeah, I'll be there to. :)

Design Camp 2011 Preview: Jolby!

That's right, I'm on the committee for AIGA MN's Design Camp yet again... don't judge.

(Btw, registration is filling ridiculously fast, so be sure to get in on this early).

I can't even begin to say how excited I am that Jolby is speaking at Design Camp this year! I have a complete design crush on the patterns and textures that are woven throughout their work. Aaaand it all seems so FUN!

I can't wait, it's going to be a blast to have these dudes up north for the weekend...

How To...

My boss put this on my desk this morning and in mock seriousness said,"Read this, just in case." Why he owns this or has it at work, the world may never know. I do know that it made me laugh. A lot.

Whistling Moves

Is anyone else as obsessed with this song as I am? It's shameful, really, how excited I get when this cheesy pop song comes on.

Nope, I take it back, no shame involved. Love it!

Guess who has an invitation suite in the fall issue Martha Stewart Weddings... this girl does! Go pick up the fall issue that hits newsstands today and look for the suite by Studio On Fire (the letterpress studio where I work). There's also a nice sneak peak on the Martha Stewart Weddings website.

Email Closers

I'm so glad someone finally decoded this shiz. I'm totally awkward when it comes to signing off in emails. I usually opt for the perky Thanks! (with exclamation point, thankyouverymuch).

Embroidered Letters

Hm... more threaded letters. Did I miss a memo? Why wasn't I warned this was going to be the cool new trend? I would have jumped on that bandwagon... soooo beautiful.
