Typographic-ky Movie & TV Posters by Jerod Gibson

Y-E-S. I was instantly drawn to these film and TV posters from artist Jerod Gibson when I recently spied them over at Society6. And that is not just because they look great--my feelings, admittedly, are largely driven by the fact that he clearly did not create art for Episodes 1 - 3 of Star Wars in his series (which he's calling "37 Posters.")

And that, my friends, is the mark of a true artist.

He's got loads more. How many of the movies/TV shows can you name below?

(Pssst: If you need a hint, check here.)

P.S. Take a peek at an interview I did over at Felt & Wire this week about my feelings on the future of paper and why Brooklyn is more bad-ass than Manhattan. Here's part one and part two.

I know. I'm completely famous.

Happy long weekend, y'all!

Makes me feel sweaty, stylish

It may be hot as Hades, but I, for some odd reason, have quilts on the brain. (I'm especially digging a few rad-ass ones from Kansas City's own Kim Eichler-Messmer.) Check out some of these beauts.

Felt & Wire Shop: The "Amy Feezor" Collection Debuts

Doesn't the "Amy Feezor Collection" sound fancy? (Because that's what they're calling it.) (And heaven knows I'm fancy.) The lovely folks over at Felt & Wire asked me to guest curate a collection of cool duds for them again over at their shop this week. Check out the latest here.

And P.S. The above poster pick is dedicated to Leah, Jorge, Lisa, Kru, Margaret, Cristina, Teri, and Courtney (and the rest of the crew!) (You know who you are).

Thanks, Felt & Wire for including me (special shout-out to Allyson!).

Color Blockage

Recently, my editor at HermanMiller.com, Cerentha Harris, said this to me:

"Um, you need to start putting product roundups back on your blog."

And yeah, I probably do.

So, in an effort to make Cerentha smile and to satisfy my driving need to lust over crisp, happy, well-designed objects, I'm getting back up on the product horse. (Oooo....horses. Remember that whole "let's put a horse on it" phase we all went through in the early 2000's--that pre-cursor to the "let's put a bird on it" thing? I could have mastered a great horse roundup at the time, I tell ya.) (And yes, I see that placing "horse" and "roundup" in the same sentence could have led to lots of silly headlines. But horses are over, so let's keep trotting along.) (See what I did there?)

What's NEVER over--at least in my book--are color blocks. I love them. Let's look and lust over 'em together.
