Since getting to NYC, Kim and I have made it a habit to visit the Brooklyn Flea every weekend. After several visits of practicing restraint and will power, I finally dropped $5 on an old book. But not just any old book. This book was chock full ‘o Russian posters from the 20th century. Kim [...]
It’s not secret I’m a nerd for type. I can spend hours just wading through pools of typefaces and scouring for old ephemera just for one anomalous letter. As a result, I’ve been drawing type like a fiend for years. I really want to eventually put out one fully functioning typeface. But, until I develop [...]
The concept of apparitions has been around since the beginning of man, but there has never been a single physical example of proof they exist. Or what they are exactly. Even after all the high tech equipment is wheeled in, all that remains after extensive research is a bunch of half-understood data. There is no [...]
July has finally come and as we promised, Kim and I will start posting on a regular basis again. We’ve been residents of Brooklyn for a little over a week now and in order to maintain our sanity, we’ve done a few things other than unpack boxes. With this past weekend being the 4th of [...]

But as I grew up, my collection began to slim down to favorites. Another stage of thinning occurred when Kim [...]
Just a little heads up that we’re doing some site maintenance. We’ve let things pile up a little bit on the back end, and now they’re starting to become self-aware. Nothing should end in catastrophe, but if you don’t see us for a while…assume the worst. With any luck we’ll have a new piece of [...]

And we’re not talking about a senior citizens, gentleman’s club either. We’ve done some silly things at our day job, but this has to be one of my favorite. About two years ago, the then account brought in some store-prepared cupcakes. You know, the small kind wrapped under plastic with the swirl of pastel frosting [...]

If there ever were a reason for us never to get into web work professionally, now we have one. Sometime in the past few days, our site came under the attack of a virus/Trojan horse. Somehow, a pretty little package came waltzing through our security and waited for us to sleep. After an initial freak [...]
