When I was young I had a real obsession for RVs. I think it had to do with something about my obsession with matchbox cars, and area of a house you can bring anywhere. I liked RVs so much I had my mother take me to RV expos in Boston. When I was really young a few family members and rented an RV and headed to Montana to visit even more family. All I remember from Montana, is actually being in...

Around this time two years ago my girlfriend gave me this gem by Lure to promise I would never use these frowned upon typefaces (if we are allowed to even call them that) again. Let’s make is clear I never touched any of these typefaces prior. The big problem was my growing collection of prints which have unique sizes. In this case 20x26 for the print to which “I Will Never Use Hobo,...

A lot of leather goods are being produced, I mean a lot! It’s hard to stand out from the crowd. Draught Dry Goods from the big state of Montana (which I’m proud to say I’ve been to) is producing some great leather products that finally caught my eye.
I’m too much of a wallet guy, and my iPhone is always in my right pocket, but if I was ever to bring the two together it...

List of the 50 Most Stylish New Yorkers. I knew a lot more then I thought to be honest. While interning at Paper Magazine I sat across Luigi and his pretty hair. Since moving to New York he might be the nicest person I’ve come across. When he came into Paper’s office he’d go around saying hi to everyone, even the interns, and knew them by name. Plus he dressed pretty well. Of...

When living in Boston there is no avoiding a Boston Red Sox game and their fans unless you hide inside. The greatest thing about New York is when there is a huge event like New York Fashion Week you can go about your business without noticing. I’m not one who reviews every single fashion show, picking out my favorite, but I do check out the usuals such as Rag & Bone who have my...

WatchGreat fourteen minute video of world famous typographer Erik Spiekermann. He makes some really great point and I think I had to agree on just everything he said, especially his view on George W. Bush.

Reblogged Post by Mackenzie Schmidt: Aussie James Gulliver Hancock is attempting to draw every buildings in New York. Now while my first reaction was: this is gonna be like Sufjan Stevens doing an album for every state, I’m being led on. I quickly decided it doesn’t much matter because not only are the illustrations thoroughly enjoyable with an element of neighborhood pride, but homeboy’s making...

I wanted to catch MNDR (a.k.a. Amanda Warner) at Glasslands Gallery months ago, but somehow missed her (or forgot), but have visited MNDR’s Myspace page plenty since. Grab MNDR’s single “Cut Me Out” via Mountain Dew’s Green Label Sound free for downloading, embedding, and overall spreading around the interweb.

I meant to post some photos of Jill Sylvia’s paper cutouts awhile back. Her work is a bit insane. Insane…awesome and just plain insane.

Lovells Pure Lager rebranding work by Landor Associates, Sydney has the classic beer look the typical beer consumer expects. What they then do is put plenty of humor and creativity into packaging, but not an overdose like the rest of the new brewers do today. Their clever advertisements and silly strange icons like Space Invader and a fish hook makes you ask who are these guys?

Finished up Mackenzie Schmidt’s portfolio website last week. Still with some corrections, and a few more pages to develop, but has really been fun working on redoing her site and creating a whole identity for her. Will post the new business cards sometime soon. Check the site out mackenziecschmidt.com, and follow her on Twitter @kenzschmidt.

WatchBorn in Providence, and raised in Boston since I was nine years old (give or take a few years), I’m obviously a big fan of the Patriots, Celtics and Red Sox. Unfortunately I hate most of my fellow Red Sox fans and the idea of Red Sox Nation [which is not a real thing], but in the end I’m still a Sox fan. Living in New York also makes it fun rooting for the teams that this state hates.
