Beautiful work by Darren Booth. He paints and hand-letters type that goes beyond your typical hand-lettering styles. So amazing.

Beautiful branding work for Gabbani by Switzerland-based creative studio Demian Conrad.

“Visually the references are from the flavour of the 30’s with a mix of various typographies and the use of the black&white optical art typical of the 60’s.” “The black and white approach makes the all range standing out from the colorful and flashy bags commonly used by the competitors.”

The coolest wedding date. Ever.

Last night I got to see Gaslight Anthem, and then Weezer at the Allentown Fair. What a show! Rivers, the lead singer, was a gigantic ball of energy engaging the crowd at every moment. From jumping from the drums which were up on a platform down on to a trampoline, crawling in a box, to running through the crowd, it was just an amazing concert.

p.s. Thanks Jan!!!

Amazing results from Mash, an Australian branding agency for AB&D (Alpha Box & Dice). This is a great case where the branding efforts have been fully incorporated with the birth of a new company.

Each wine unique like a film project, 26 letters, 26 stories all interconnected. Available now ABCD&F – What will surely be a collectors item. Apostle, Blood of Jupiter, Changing Lanes, Dead Winemakers Society, Fog.

When this client emailed me, my response was “You had me at koi.” Kelly and Joseph liked the tattoo invitations that I can create, but they wanted a set that revolved around koi fish. Wouldn’t you say yes too?! I was so pleased with the results and this time, and I was able to use a gray as the stock color rather than white.

I don’t even know where to start with this particular artist to be honest. At first I was curious, then confused, and now find it riveting. Something about the work of Yi-Hsin Tzeng has me hooked and now you must go look too.

Yi-Hsin Tzeng defaces selected image from magazines, and then publishes and sells them every two months. And even more mesmerizing is the foam work in pop-art pieces and performance art.

What a beautiful idea. Sara Nicely created a hand-drawn menu (inspired by the wiry Christmas lights arranged in the dining area) on a baguette carry-out bag so that customers could carry the menu home. Although, what happens when the menu changes?! All new bags?

I also like the fetching Nathan’s Famous annual report:

Amazing craft and design by Sophie Williams for a stationery brand created using end-of-line sketchbooks as writing paper, and envelopes from the pages of donated books from the National History Museum.

‘The Finishing School’ was devised as my stationary brand with a conscious focus of reusing paper and other materials already in circulation.

Many great projects for the Jazz community. But I really loved the limited color palette and hand-lettering on this. In awe.
