i feel like i haven’t really articulated the story of the daileyspeople greeting cards in much depth, but i think it’s something people might enjoy, so, here it is; the daileyspeople greeting cards are a series of cards based on old photos from my family (you can view the cards and the photos that they [...]
but the end result was a really great “die-cut” sign shaped like a platter. if you’re in the nyc area, go by pier 94 to see think fabricate at the show this week.
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!
it’s about to come out of the sketch stage and into the digital rendering stage. after that it will be the transfer to linoleum block, cut and print stages. gonna have the finished product ready this week so folks can get their hands on some in time for the big day. my plan is to [...]
here’s a little preview of a new line that will be available in the lfb etsy and supermarket shops soon.
enjoyed looking at this poster that christopher from mine sent over. paper cut out illustration by yulia brodskya.
here are a couple of pieces i’ve been wanting to show for while but are unpublished as of right now anyway. you can go see ‘em nice and big and read about ‘em on flickr.
the live from bklyn “thinking of u” postcards are finished and available for purchase. we will be opening our own live from bklyn design shop very soon, but for now, visit livefrombklyn.etsy.com
every once in a while one comes a cross a designer that makes one say, “oh NO! i’m gonna have to stay up late every night for the next month and a half to improve my design skills.” jessica hische is that designer. oh look, she also has a blog. super. it’s gonna be a [...]
friends of live from bklyn, i’m pleased to announce that we have opened a live from bklyn etsy shop (livefrombklyn.etsy.com). you can purchase fine art friday prints, as well as other prints of buildings in williamsburg, brooklyn and ornamental letterforms.
i’m always a tad jealous of this guy and all of the awesome vintage design pieces that he possesses, but i’m getting a turn now. a couple of weeks ago, my grandmother, the indomitable marguerite dailey (evans) crafton (from whom my name comes), passed away after complications from hip surgery. she left a legacy of [...]
i saw the siglins’ wedding invitation hanging on my fridge yesterday, and thought, “that deserves a blog post.” so here it is. i would post a link to dave’s portfolio site, but he doesn’t have one. . . still. . . in 2008.
my friend christin sends tidings of this (orange)beautiful calendar. sweet idea to have the perforations to be able to save the typography as an art print. check out the rest of orangebeautiful’s offerings while you’re on their etsy page. the holiday card is just magnificent.
good grief. will someone please tell this woman to slow down and let the rest of us catch up? i mean there’s ornament and typography, and then there’s marian bantjes. her penchant for fabulously detailed and intricate ornament is just ridiculous. i give you the design ignites change poster, v1. there’s a v2 on her [...]
oh starbucks, what a quandary you’ve put me in. so many reasons to hate you (like your quest for coffee hegemony), so many reasons to love you. like this tub that your perfect oatmeal comes in. simple, yet ornate. modern in design, classic in production. not only are the ornaments perfect in execution, but you [...]
so i’m bending my own rules a bit to discuss some great new music that i came across, but they are my rules, so i suppose i can do what i want with them. so gileah and the ghost train. if i had to sum up gileah’s music with one word, it would be haunting. [...]
samantha wiley has really got a handle on her typography, as evidenced by these beer desktop backgrounds. sam is moving to new york very soon, and is looking for a gig, so if anyone reading this is hiring, be sure to click the link above to review her portfolio. you can also see her portfolio [...]
joshua smith of hydro74 has created a brilliant poster for the smashing pumpkins. joshua nails the hand-lettering and ornament, going so far as to include the wave pattern within the type. stellar.
a few days ago while using the ever-handy stumble upon tool bar, i came across the above image (click header). unfortunately, the image isn’t anywhere to be found on the actual website (zee.com.br) with any sort of corresponding info. i’ve scoured the web looking for the source of this mystery whale image, because i love [...]
the public theater in new york have placed these ads (click header) all over the subway and buses and other places in the city and for that i am very glad. obviously a great concept with the ornamental hair on the skull and a dandy bit of execution too. i don’t know who designed them [...]
michelle and i picked up a couple of nice greeting cards from print icon. two things went through my head when i saw these; 1. these are awesome. 2. i want to design greeting cards. so hanna werning, you are awesome, and beaumonde cards, please let me do some work for you.
decoylab have some fine clocks and what not at their etsy store, but i would like to bring some attention to their shipping label (click header). magnifico.
thanks to chantel ingram of BCIT’s school of computing and academic studies for bringing to my attention the work of orgut cayli. orgut pulls off the “maximalist” look with minimal clutter.
brad surcey via the ever-fresh serif. so very beautiful, i’m gettin’ misty-eyed just looking at it. this one made it into all three categories; print, ornament, and type.
