This morning I’m off to hear the founders of Typesetting speak at a CreativeMornings, and I can’t wait. We were feeling a just a wee bit overwhelmed this week, so Jamie Wieck’s #the50 Things Every Creative Should Know was worth a review. We’re also really enjoying this clever candle, a new sketchbook video from Seb Lester, and a […]

It’s looking more spring-like from my vantage in Pennsylvania than the Instagram photos I’m seeing coming out of Boston, but it’s still colder than this time last year – when highs in Boston were in the 80s and Jack and I had a lovely warm run and dinner al fresco. (Thanks for that reminder, Timehop. […]
We almost had a peek of real, honest-to-goodness Spring this week! Alas, this morning was as cold as ever. I actually couldn’t bear the thought of pulling my winter bike coat back out of the closet, and I took the T instead. (I’ll regret this choice around 6pm.) As long as I’ve been in Boston, […]
Most Fridays, I would really like to kick things off with a love letter to coffee. Nantucket Blend, you are the light of my life, though I sneak around with Pleasant Morning Buzz on the weekend. Leaving our caffeine addictions out of this, we’ve had a couple of sleepless nights this week; I’m very much […]
Happy Friday! We’ve got a low-key weekend in store (hopefully), which is good – there’s lots of homework, housework and client work to be done around here. What do you have on tap?

To round out the week, we highly recommend you take a gander at Ben Johnston’s laser-etched wood type works, read this […]
We’ve watched shamefully little of the Olympic games since Opening Ceremonies, but there is no shortage of media to enjoy outside the games themselves. Before the festivities were quite underway, Banksy had made his mark with a few timely pieces in London. The pole vaulter above – “Going for Mould” – is accompanied by a javelin […]
Another week has come and gone, and it’s almost July to boot! In honor of the start of Le Tour tomorrow, we’d be remiss not to share the incredible photography of Mike Powell of Held & Associates. The series The Greatest Race is all Tour, all the time, but the rest of the Held group’s […]
We’ve been thoroughly focused on type for the past few weeks in our work, and that has meant discovering some pretty incredible typographic art in the process. This week, a few font-themed favorites make the Friday Fancies cut. Felt & Wire offers up some pretty fantastic paper goods, but this periodic table of elements (from […]
I didn’t have a chance to finish my intended Fancies post before departing for the left coast, but seeing as travel should always involve brunch, cocktails or brunch cocktails, we’ll just leave this little gem from Breakfast For Dinner here for you to devour. Have a great weekend!
