Lady Gaga - Telephone (illustrated remix)

Brilliant illustration set by Andrew Kolb.



So moved, I was, by this tale of pestering that I only saw it fit to create a 50's style children's book in honour of it.

Legacy of Letters video.

I have to agree with my pal, @vonherwig: I kinda wish there was a Typography Channel, and they showed stuff like this all day.

Conjurer Safety Matches print by Head Light Hotel.

A gorgeous, fun print over at Tiny Showcase today.


Our friends at Providence's Head Light Hotel have have presented us with the first piece in an ongoing collection of artwork that, quite frankly, we wish we'd thought up ourselves. Inspired by a trip to an ephemera shop in Istanbul (this part of the story sounds a bit too romantic to be true but we will give them the benefit of the doubt), they have begun to print their own interpretations of matchbook covers from the early-to-mid 1900s. The first in the collection is "The Conjurer", a five-color screen print printed on a natural white archival 215gsm printmaking paper.

ORDER NOW and we will ship your artwork on Friday. Order Friday / over the weekend and we will ship it on Monday. Order Monday and if you live on the West coast you probably won't have it delivered in time for Christmas gift giving (if that is your thing). Order responsibly is all I'm saying.

Available this very moment on Tiny Showcase. Godspeed little poster tubes.

Marzipan Good Luck Piglets.

In Germany, well wishers give marzipan "Glücksschweinchen" to people for good luck at Christmas and New Year’s. Imported from Germany, our adorable (& yummy!) Marzipan Piglets will bring ample good luck for the New Year. Good luck for the lucky recipient and good luck for the giver as well!

Wreck in Snow screenprint.

Just heading into a Wisconsin winter, I could not look at this every day. However, it's an AMAZING four-color, hand-pulled silkscreen print. At $30, it's a steal.

Luke Stephenson on 20x200.

I'm SUCH a fan of his bird photos. If you like these, get over to 20x200 ASAP before they sell out. (I bought his Yellow Canary photo, which sold out in about 10 minutes.)

TuneIn Radio.

When I was in high school and college, I had a short/medium wave radio that completely enthralled me. Being able to listen to music and news from all over the world (depending on the weather) was absolutely mindblowing to me. The TuneIn Radio app ($1.99) gives me that exact same feeling. It's AMAZING. Want to listen to pop from Antarctica? Go for it. Almost every BBC local and national station? It's there. Want to record a show to listen to later? Just hit the Record button. I can't tell you how much I love this app.

If you love radio, check it out. It even works in thunderstorms. :)

Big Cartel interview with Lillian Crowe.

The jewelry isn't my style, but it is beautiful. It's the the article itself (and the great headline) that's just gorgeous.
