Ooooh texture!

Three friends for you.

60 Thompson

Love the interiors here. One of these days I’m just going to check in here and escape.

Oh sweet suite.

Passing Notes

Passing Notes has a great portfolio. Especially the work done for weddings… it’s just so complete. Every possible detail is addressed. A spectacular effect.

One wedding... every possible detail!

Ceci New York

The invitations at Ceci New York are easily the some of the most gorgeous letterpressed invites + social stationery I have ever seen. Love these invitations in book form. Such a great way to present all the information needed for a destination wedding.

Cindy & Shawn's wedding.

Bella Figura

Bella Figura offers gorgeous half-patterned letterpress invitations. The patterns are so stunning, plus everything is shown in downloadable PDFs.

Three invitations (one from Peabody!) from Bella Figura's portfolio.

AntiGirl

Tiphanie’s work is a wild jumble of rich textures from food packaging, magazines and found paper… and it’s frickin’ gorgeous. Buy her stuff.

The above are the four prints I own (from left, top): Flights of Fancy, She's Eden, Break Evidence and Act A. Each lithograph is $20.50.

Uppercase Gallery

Uppercase Gallery showcases the work of artists with a wide variety of styles. Great stuff for inspiration. The shop offers up some fresh papergoods with fantastic typography.

Fafi!

Fafi is an amazing French graff artist. So great, in fact, that Diet Coke and Collette commissioned her to adorn their products. Love her linework and, of course, all her girls.

Straight from Fafi's sketchbook.

monc

Monc is a design studio out of Sweden. Great illustration and hand lettering. An inspiration.

A CD jacket design for a jazz duo: Josef & Erika.

WTF?

This is why I love TypoPhile so much: People have discussions about hypothetical ligatures. Such as a possible ligature for the acronym wtf. Read on.

Ligatures aplenty.

ISO50

Scott does some damn fine work in a great retro style. Fantastic colors and graphics. Great online shop, too.

A poster for sale.

Priya is twenty-eight. She lives in New York City. She art directs advertising for a luxury jewelry brand. She loves fizzy lemonade, Laudrée macarons, Jean Schlumberger jewels, vintage fashion advertising, Audrey Hepburn movies and letterpressed paper. She also loves her work.
