Ladybug Chocolates.

These are cute and sound quite yummy.


Months in the making, we have created little ladybug shells, each one unique and filled them with a delectable raspberry ganache. The perfect gift for the Spring, they come in a set of 12 packed in a wood gift box tied with a red ribbon.

Isaac Asimov had it right.

Robot Code of Ethics to Prevent Android Abuse, Protect Humans

The government of South Korea is drawing up a code of ethics to prevent human abuse of robots—and vice versa.

The so-called Robot Ethics Charter will cover standards for robotics users and manufacturers, as well as guidelines on ethical standards to be programmed into robots, South Korea's Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy announced last week.

I'd prefer this in poster form.

Anyway, it made me laugh.

The Flipperoo Clock.

I'm a sucker for flip clocks. This is cute. Has a bit of a Flintstones feel to it.

(I'm genuinely embarrased that an armless/legless robot can groove better than I can.)


Keepon is a small creature-like robot developed to perform emotional and attentional interaction with children. If has four degrees of freedom, a soft rubber skin, two cameras in its eyes, and a microphone in its nose.

Poetry & beautiful letterpress type.

The Nobel-prize winning poet Wislawa Szymborska's whimsical poem "Pi" juxtaposes the finite, impermanent world with the familiar never-ending 3.1415... This book's structure and typography echo the poem, juxtaposing the discrete stanzas with the numerical sequence, which starts on the cover and dances across the pages, oblivious to the words, continuing on the back cover, and finally slipping off the edge.

You can read the poem here: http://plagiarist.com/poetry/?wid=9170

Yay! Herwig's on Swap Meat!

Our buddy Herwig's silkscreen poster is featured on Coudal Partners' Swap Meat site today.


When Dan Herwig's mom was diagnosed with Leukemia last year, he joined Team In Training and ran the Chicago Marathon to raise money for research. Hand-pulling this print as a bonus for donors, Dan raised over $2000, and his mother's Leukemia is in remission. Proof, once again, that screenprinting is good medicine.
