Color Forecast 2010
Our Love as seen on the wall in Benjamin Moore’s 2010 color forecast room for Claret Rose. A fine looking room to boot. Thanks to Apartment Therapy for the heads up.
Sharing is caring
Although most of our cards are produced by us, we do have a few that we entrust other careful hands with. We thought these images of our “Our Love Is Here to Stay” cards from the printer looked groovy and thought we’d share them.

Leaves of Grass

Exercise your poetic license and stop by Lucky Gallery in Brooklyn’s Redhook (176 Richards Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231) for a cleverly curated show by Ben Peterson titled “Wearing Whitman’s Words; A Typographic Exploration.”
Designers were asked to create new works specifically for this show using lines of Walt Whitman’s poems, from his self-published 1855 book, Leaves of Grass. The varied typographic explorations have been silkscreened on t-shirts for this exhibit. Attend the opening, and you will receive one!
Among the many talented artists in this exhibit are Ed Nacional, Jessica Hische, and our pals at Friends of Type! (jason included)
Opening: December 5th, 6-9pm
Show Run: December 5th - January 10th, 2010

Maialino
custom letterpress notecard for the Rockwell Group
Italian for suckling pig, Maialino is the name of Danny Meyer’s new restaurant located in the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City. A new Roman-style trattoria, it offers breakfast, lunch and dinner.
We were asked by the Rockwell Group, who designed the interior of Maialino, to create this custom card to be used in conjunction with the opening of the restaurant. The letterpress card features a laurel of rosemary and thyme, traditional ingredients in Italian suckling pig recipes.
We can’t wait to check out the restaurant.
