Morning Mountain & Night Mountain prints by The... →
I just found this print by an illustrator that I’ve really liked for a while, Tabitha Brown, aka The Pairabirds, that is super striking. And, a bit of a change from the illustrations that I’ve seen her do before, which are also really lovely.
You can see or purchase this print at her site here, as well as see more of her work.

Nice little story on the success of America’s oldest continuously operating beer brewery, Yuengling & Son.
Yuengling beers, particularly the Porter & Black & Tan is like the milk of my later teens and young adulthood. So cool to hear that they are doing so well.
Listen to the story on NPR here.

As a poster designer, I am of course obsessed with posters. I especially love going back in time and finding amazing vintage work from around the world. I really love the look of this poster, and it doesn’t hurt that it features a horse. And, I’ve now been introduded to the work of Japanese artist Hisami Kunitake. Found at the Beautiful Posters blog.

Alexander Girard pillows @Modern Seed →
I am (not surprisingly) a huge fan of Alexander Girard’s work. To me, he is one of the best there ever was. Simple, striking, playful and powerful all in a kind and beautiful way. That’s best.
These designs were revived and reissued via Modern Seed in June of 2006, but I think they might be gone now. Boo hooo. They’re beautiful. Here is the original post about these pillows on...

Bird clock by &design →
Super adorable, and more importantly super nice way to wake up with a chirping bird instead of a yelly alarm clock. I just love this little guy from &design in Japan. It’s the perfect counterpoint to the traditional kind of alarm clock whose screeches give me the chills.
Who wants to wake up that way when you can be chirped awake? The little birdy can be wall mounted on placed on its...

Coffee, Thee & Me. That's all we need! →
That’s all we need, love. Hi friend! Is anything more sweet and quietly fantastic than those first wonderful sips of coffee in the mornings, made better only by sharing it with kindred soul? Nope. Back by poplar demand! This is a 2nd edition print, with new hand mixed colors (the metallic copper of the giraffe) and also, with the addition of a 4th color. (The 1st edition was 3 colors.)...

The Abandoned City Hall Subway Stop Now Visible To... →
If you ride the 6 train to the end of the line and get off at the Brooklyn Bridge stop, you’re missing out on something incredible. As the train loops around to go back uptown, it passes through an abandoned and beautifully preserved City Hall station from 1904.
The city closed the station in 1945, mostly because at its height only 600 people a day used it, and because the loop created...

Sights & Sounds: Carson Ellis interview at Design... →
Even if you don’t know her name, if you’ve ever picked up an album by Portland-based folk-rock band The Decemberists, you’re likely familiar with Carson Ellis‘ work. She’s been the group’s “illustrator in residence” for nearly a decade now, working closely with Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy (who also happens to be her husband) to scheme up fantastical, intricate illustrations not only for...

They are the most detailed...
