Subway Maps

By far my favorite part of London was the tube. Yes, I know there's all sorts of cultural shenanigans to observe, but coming from the midwest where public transportation is less than ideal, the tube seemed gloriously genius!

Anyway, on to the point- these gorgeous subway maps!!

Absence Explained

My lack of blogging this past week was actually not just laziness, but a great road trip with my best friend. I flew out to LA last Friday and spent the last six days driving through the southwest back to Minneapolis.

We stopped in Vegas, the Grand Canyon and Denver (loved!!! Denver). I had never seen the Grand Canyon and was blown away (almost literally, super windy).

I'll post some pics once I actually upload pics to my computer, in the meantime, TGIF!

Blogs I Stalk: small caps

Since I began working in a design and letterpress studio I've really started to appreciate all of the work that goes into printing. What has really caught my attention is the old school wood type floating around the shop (and I've been lucky enough to pull a couple proof prints for projects... try saying that three times fast). That fascination combined with my constant blog stalking let me to the small caps site. Written by an artist in Berlin (don't worry they provide translations for most of the writing on the blog), there are some fun blurbs and explorations, not to mention a peek into life across the globe.

Recently posted were exercises of wood type on vintage maps, available in their shop. My personal favorite shown below (Australia!!). Not to mention I love the German version of Ahoy!
