Given the world’s current political climate, these posters really struck a chord with us – not only for their messages but for their stunningly simple and bold design as well. As they say, Vive la révolution! Sources: Messy Nessy Chic, Documents from May 1968 H/T: Monk Parker
Wow, aren’t these just so beautiful? This stunning collection of vintage posters were created between 1938 and 1941 to promote tourism to the National Parks in America. Thank you to our friend Laura at Red Press Printing for sharing! And thank you to the parks for existing and inspiring, for 100 years. View all of the posters here. […]
We had the very distinct pleasure of visiting the Hamilton Wood Type Museum earlier this year to not only visit and take in the wonders of the place, but also to see one of our design heroes, Louise Fili speak. She talked about the history of her career, and also about the new typeface she […]
Saying goodbye to another idol, another beacon, another human being who left this world too soon & who left an irremovable mark and sheen on humanity. Not sure where I read something similar to this: but saying that he is from another planet, that he was too good for us, misses the mark by a lot – […]
Sometimes it seems like we’re always posting about those of us who’ve left us, but it’s important to us to give them whatever little space we can here, because they make up so much of who we are and what influences us. With that said, last night we lost a true gem — Little Jimmy […]

While we were doing research and searching out inspiration for our own Christmas on The Moon, we found so many Soviet space propaganda Christmas and New Years cards that we decided to collect and share some of our favorites here. The Russians sure love their space travel, and their big beautiful burly bearded Santa Claus, […]
Dangerous Minds posted some of these earlier which sent us down the rabbit hole of the Phenakistoscope, Thaumatrope, and other forms of early movement and animation (one of our favorites is Eadweard Muybridge, whose work we’ve used in our video projections before). Since DM already did such a good job explaining, we’ll just quote them here: “Phenakistoscope” […]
“Like every town you’ve ever seen. And no place you’ve ever known.” 23 years ago today the first episode of Twin Peaks aired on ABC.
