23 : upside down, left to right

I love this short film on letterpress. It made me massively miss that little crackle when rolling out the ink with a brayer... I crave to be back in the studio, but of course, life (well, work) gets in the way far too often. Maybe some day.

21 : cement ampersands

I notice a lot of details when I'm out in the world. Maybe because of the type of designer I am. Maybe it's because sometimes I'd rather focus on the parts rather than the whole. Either way, sometimes I find immense beauty in the tiniest of details. Be it bright orange fungus on a single rose leaf, sewer covers, and even the pg&e stamps in the cement.

Photographing these with my iphone actually gave me a new appreciation of concrete in general. The different textures, colors, cracks, etc....it's all quite beautiful actually...
