Happy Friday! This week has been a rollercoaster ride, from speed networking at Tuesday’s inaugural Young Women in Digital event to a stomach bug for me, and Jack’s schedule filled to the brim with homework. To round out the week, we highly recommend you take a gander at Ben Johnston’s laser-etched wood type works, read this […]

Of the many ludicrous apps I have on my phone, one that I have mixed feelings about is Timehop. What started out as a daily email showing your posts on various social media one year ago, is a now an app complete with social element, sharing capabilities and seven years of online history. I don’t […]
Picking the right color for a project is no small feat. We’ve long used Adobe’s kuler as a tool for browsing colors, but this morning Jack came across a bare bones alternative that has already taken over as a household favorite. Devin Hunt of Hailpixel is behind some other excellent things on the internet – […]
We’re long overdue in sharing a peek behind the curtain of the custom monogram we designed for Nick and Danielle last year – and there’s nothing quite like a Monday “holiday” for catching up. When we began working on the Dulchinos wedding suite, the couple knew that they wanted a monogram that they could use […]
We’re taking advantage of tomorrow’s (for us) holiday, and keeping our fingers crossed for good conditions at Pico today. It will be cold and crowded, but forecasts are clear and there’s been a good bit of fresh snow in the past week. In our imaginations, this is what we look like at the summit. (More […]
Not since Jessica Hische’s Daily Drop Cap project began in 2009 have we been so captivated with a recurring project – but Lauren Hom’s Daily Dishonesty series is taking the internet by storm, and the combination of hand lettering, digital editing and a dash of humor and wit is right up our alley. Lauren explores […]
It’s by no means new, but I’ve only just discovered the sequel to Western Spaghetti by PES, and after watching both this morning it seemed a fitting bit of fun for a Friday. In 2009, Western Spaghetti – a stop-motion short featuring iconic toys as components in a marinara – made solo artist PES a […]
We’re not big Valentine’s Day celebrators – on the docket tonight, laundry! – but we do love a good nerdy card, especially one with puns, and this holiday seems to offer plenty of both. Enjoy a few that caught our eye this year, and click through for more from each stationer.
From time to time, we find ourselves smitten with a font that we find in the wild; great type turns up in theater programs, museum wall captions and grocery packaging. One of the tools I turn to time and again to identify finds like these so that we can incorporate them into a project is […]
It’s funny how things come together sometimes, like finding a jigsaw piece under the table that suddenly brings the rest of the puzzle into focus. (Everyone else also did endless puzzles with their grandmothers and great aunts as a child, right?) I’ve been working on a stripey bachelorette invite – a fun, low-stress project, as it’s pro bono for […]
