I'm signing off so I can work on the release of the NEW LOOK! No worries, it's nothing crazy; I rather like the format I have now. But I hope you'll enjoy a few aspects of what's to come...

Remember: 6pm is when the switch will flip! I can't guarantee all will be well right away, but everything should be running smoothly by Thursday morning.

See you then!

Oooh! Excitement!

You may know Michelle from Recycled Rings [who has a Daily coming up VERY soon!], but did you realize she was an uber-talented painter?

She's recently embarked on a fascinating series where she'll paint all 50 states. You can view the few that she's finished [GORGEOUS!] right here.

And at just $60? Wowza. [thanks, Michelle dear!]

Oh I can hardly handle the excitement!!!

Just a quick note to start your day off right--- Design for Mankind will be releasing its new look TONIGHT at 6pm. Initially, we'll have some kinks to work out, so plan on viewing the site in top-notch condition by Thursday morning. Hold tight until then--- it may be a bumpy ride, but well worth it!

A HUGE thanks to Rob who is pretty much the best web programmer in the entire world. THANK YOU!

A project from Spass hat Zukunft:

A visual history of the computer keyboard and the etymology of the symbols most widely accessed through the shift key. As a project aimed to introduce typography through its most common usage, the book promotes the deep history to our most commonly used symbols, which though used daily, are often ignored for their beauty and fascination.

Before I left on holiday, I had the lovely opportunity to meet the dear Sarajo Frieden [among others] at Faythe's smashing Handmade Nation auction [Angie took some lovely photos here]. We chatted about life, love and liberty [I'm lying], and she shared the exciting news with me that her prints are now available for purchase!

I posted the Droplets print of Sarajo's last month and have been waiting patiently for my very own. I just may have to invest in this piece at Thumbtack Press for only $34.99!

Congrats, Sarajo--- you are a dear!

congrats, andrea!
