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.…

I’m definitely putting these geometric notecard sets from Sycamore Street Press on my wishlist. Aside from the fun line drawings adorning each card, I especially love the contrasting envelope color. Choose from purple and yellow, pink and green or blue…
Love the design and illustration work of Jim Datz—especially the handdrawn type (surprise, surprise).

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…
