Log & Squirrel Flowerpot.

Hee hee. Love this little guy. The squirrel pops up when the plant has water, and disappears when it doesn't. Useful and adorbs.

Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum needs help. FAST.

If you're a Wisconsin designer, you already know about the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum in Two Rivers. It's a beautiful place, housing a HUGE collection of historic wood type. They also hold workshops and exhibits celebrating and keeping alive this lovely, oft-forgotten manual medium.

Well, they need help, folks. Fast.

They're being evicted from their museum space – which means they have to pack up their 40K sq ft museum and find a new place to live on short notice. No small or inexpensive feat, this. (More information here.)

HOW YOU CAN HELP

1. Donate to and/or attend the AIGA WI Hamilton Museum Fundraiser. 

AIGA Wisconsin is having a fundraiser for them in January. If you're a designer or artist who would like to donate work for this fundraiser, please email Chris Klein at AIGA Wisconsin.

This could be a sweet gift. Fits in a standard Ribba frame.

Perhaps the greatest commercial of all time.

General Electric has released what might be the most epic robot-themed TV ad ever.

"Rudolph" Windows ads.

The dialogue and copy could be a bit more clever, but kudos to Windows for the art direction on their Rudolph ads.

Urban Shelf.

I'm completely in love with this little fire escape shelf, available from Chiasso (which I refuse to link to because their site is so cluttered and hideous).

Happy my birthday to you.

Everyone should have a polar bear suit to celebrate birthdays.

Lucius Art woodblock prints.

At $37 each (on sale), I think they're overpriced, but I do like the designs.
