Eames Stamps permalinkJust a reminder that this Summer you’re going to want to revert to snail mail if only to slap one of these gorgeous Eames stamps on the corner of your envelope. |

Owens Bros. for Zoo York permalinkWe’ve posted Zoo York artist series decks before but when they’re this stunning how can we not? According to Matt and Mark Owens, their “Urbane Jungle” series represents “the socio-cultural realms of Literature, Architecture, The Arts, Transit, Food and Tourism”. Shred-ready and heady. |
From San Francisco 04/23/08
Lab Partners permalinkRyan and Sarah from Lab Partners got in touch to let us know about their sweet letterpress and gocco work. The only thing missing from this print that we can detect is a Mission burrito. Otherwise, it’s pure SF bliss. |

Faesthetic #7 permalinkFor the past 7 years, nobody has held it down for underground art and design harder than Upso. His 7 issues of Faesthetic “magazine” have featured just about every decent young artist of the past 7 years. Guess we could say that if you haven’t been in Faesthetic...well...you probably wanna be.

Andrew Townsend permalinkAndrew Townsend’s body of work is large, but we wanted to focus on this bold screenprint. It was made for the traveling group exhibition “Off-Register”, which just wrapped up in Chicago and will visit Brooklyn’s Riviera Gallery in June. |

Julia Rothman for ReForm School permalinkWe loves us some Julia Rothman. This is the third post we’ve done about her work and she really can do no wrong. These are limited edition, laser-etched ceramic milk bottles that Julia hand-inked in red or grey for ReForm School. Only 40 are available and each are signed and numbered. These’ll look good on a prominent shelf in your living room as opposed to say, left out on the porch for the milkman! (Via d*s.)

Andy J. Miller permalinkSkulls are definitely getting the trend extension pass. But what would really be cool is if this is what skulls actually looked like. Check out more groovy swirls over at Andy J Miller’s site. (Via print & pattern.) |

Print Liberation permalinkLong-time Philly stalwarts, friends of Urban, and supporters of DIY screenprinters worldwide, Print Liberation socks it to us with their new online store.

Surface 02 Collection permalinkDomestic gathered a dozen designers (Dylan Martorell, Geneviève Gauckler, Tado, eBoy, Jeremyville, etc.) together for their Surface 02 collection, which pits the designers against archetypal quality porcelain plates. We’re digging this set by Kustaa Saksi. (Via Torc.) |

Andrew Kuo permalinkAndrew Kuo is on a tear. He has a informative blog that we’ve read not only for his music and sports coverage but for the obsessively detailed charts he creates to give his posts context. He is an artist (whose work you might have seen on our gift cards page). And lately it seems that he’s being noticed by the intelligensia. His charts have been picked up by the NYTimes and he was featured on Charlie Rose Tomorrow last week. Bright looking future, no? |

Forest Small Book Series permalinkForest is a multi-purpose design studio run by Joel Speasmaker (who some of you might know as the publisher of The Drama - one of our fave, though sadly now-defunct, art mags). His latest curatorial project is the Forest Small Book Series. Book One is out now.

The IPRC permalinkIn their own eloquent words, The Independent Publishing Resource Center “facilitates creative expression and identity by providing individual access to the resources and tools for the creation of independently published media and art. Since 1998 the center has been dedicated to encouraging the growth of a visual and literary publishing community by offering a space to gather and exchange information and ideas, as well as to produce work”.

Domino’s Reader’s Choice Winner permalinkLara from the ATL won Domino’s Reader’s Choice decorating contest. And we concur, you couldn’t stop us from kicking our feet up in this warm and colorful space. (Via sfgirlbybay.) |

Chocolate Scrabble permalinkIt’s gonna be hard to finish a game of chocolate scrabble. From the bright minds of Mary & Matt, whose super clean website and blog we really adore. (Via HI + LOW.) |

Terunobu Fujimori permalinkWhile we dreamt of sipping tea and peering down on the world from our quirky, rustic teahouse on stilts, Terunobu Fujimori actually built one. |

Woofer! permalinkWhere my dogs at? These ridiculously awesome (and crazy expensive) “woofers” come to us from Dutch design studio Buro Vormkrijgers, where stuff like this has MEANING! All we’re saying is...how long until Snoop gets a set of these built into the back seat of a Coupe DeVille? Sensual Seduction, people. Bow wow wow… (Via Better Living Through Design) |
