now i just need to cut and print the olive branch ornamental block and these totes will be ready for market!
strange title for a blogpost i suppose, but i recently realized that express masculinity is what i’ve been aiming at in my personal style. my thoughts about how i present myself as designer started when i read an aiga article called the face of design. the money quote from the article, in my opinion, is [...]

how to botch a how to video from live from bklyn on Vimeo.
here are a few pictures. we shared a table with our sister company, goose grease.
a few months ago, i was scanning the garbage heaps as i often do while walking to work (you wouldn’t believe what people throw out!) and i found one of these clocks in pretty good looking condidtion (it didn’t work but it still looked great). of course i snatched it, cleaned it up and hung [...]
i’m a tad late on these i think, but hopefully there are enough procrastinators out there. just finished up the crafton series valentine’s day card. you can read the story and pick one up for your lover at the lfb supermarket or etsy shop. enjoy!
we’re always interested in the things that inspire other designers, so we thought perhaps that the feeling is mutual, at least for a few folks out there. so here’s some links to some of the music the helps keep our work fresh; jazz – and lots of it. sometimes rock is too heavy and loud, [...]
live from bklyn has collaborated with our sister (or wife, rather) company, goose grease, to launch my whippoorwill; an etsy shop that offers beautifully designed kids’ birthday party inviations, thank you’s, decorations etc. in hi-res, downloadable pdf format. currently in the shop are two different motifs in three different color schemes each. all proceeds from [...]

being the maker of things that i am, this excerpt, “i, pencil,” from leonard read’s “anything that’s peaceful”, does a masterful job of describing just how much of a community project making just about anything is. if you’re interested in the making of stuff at all, this is well worth a read. it is indeed [...]
well, at least he was wrong in 2001, and if he hasn’t changed his mind on licensing yet (which i haven’t been able to verify), he still is. these “ten things i have learned” by glaser have been circulating around twitter a bit. in thing #10 he discusses what if designers were “licensed.” the last [...]
here’s a little preview of a new line that will be available in the lfb etsy and supermarket shops soon.
i’m a big fan of pretty bottle caps, so i was excited to come into the possession of these two, one from shiner beer and one from boulevard brewing co.
figured it was time to get the company on there, not just dailey. @livefrombklyn.
as dailey’s business partner, i’ve left the blogging to him. but recently, i came across a subject that we need to be clear about. with his blessing, i’ll continue. it’s a small clarification with big ramifications: lfb does not do branding. we design identities associated to brands — we’re in the business of making companies [...]

i like how that fits. live from bklyn is collaborating with auster*agency to create the edgiest design in the history of design for bklyn designs. socks will rock, faces will melt.
the best part design blog is a fine addition to any blog, so i added it to mine and thought you should know about it.
