Image of 3B Letterpress – EDGY Collection by The Type Junkie. $12 for a 5″x7″ print on etsy. As I’ve mentioned before, I love school. There are so many classes in the area that I’d love to take advantage of…
I’m don’t really consider myself someone who is into “fashion”. Don’t get me wrong, I am definitely into shopping for clothes, but I don’t really get caught up in trends or keep up on what’s happening in the fashion world.…
This week I came across Ugmonk, a new site whose mission is “to provide high-quality products with simple, yet fresh graphics”. They currently have a small but quality selection of t-shirts and prints, which you can see right here, as…
I discovered this designer’s work through her AIGA Get Out the Vote submissions (see below), which immediately drew me in. I’ll definitely be printing a few of these out. For more of Karen, check out her Bēhance portfolio right here.…

Here are some favorites from Process Type Foundry, who has a small but high quality catalog. I already own a couple of them—Bryant and Locator—but I’d love to have their whole library eventually. One of my favorite features of their…
A couple of miscellaneous shirts I’ve seen in the last week or so (coming a little late today). Not much of a theme this time around, but fun shirts nonetheless. Here to Make Friends, $25 at Wire and Twine I’m…

I hope everyone had a great long weekend. This seemed like the perfect image to share with you as summer comes to a close. Summa Time pattern and icons designed by Crystal Barlow.
Designer and illustrator Frank Chimero came up the other day in my Old School post. And I didn’t want to forget to mention another recent project of his I came across: Silhouettes. Silhouettes is a book he created as an…
Lately I’ve seen quite a few posts about 2009 calendar options. And although I mostly feel it’s a little bit early, I can’t help but be excited. I normally buy several each year, usually because I have an extremely difficult…
This may not appeal to everyone, but here are a couple delicate, flourishy (I’m sure I’m making that word up) fonts with tons of feminine details. Love them. Odile Restraint Tourette
I absolutely love this idea: “Tiny Showcase Presents the first in a new series of mildly factual, mostly fictitious, educational posters — Our honest and whole-hearted attempt to school you and yours. Inspired by the posters on classroom walls, but…
