The results of this experiment are presented in limited edition poster form, with writing and design back to back.
Writers & Artist include: Patrick Somerville, Claire Zulkey, Ramsin Canon, Kevin Guilfoile, William Shunn, Veronica Bond, Wendy McClure, Scott Smith, Jesse Hora, Andy Luce, Chad Kouri, Ina Weise, Letterform, Ryan Sievert, Paul Octavious, Kyle Fletcher

Apple Store + Homework
Friends! We have a pretty exciting week and we'd love to make you part of it. On Wednesday (tomorrow) we're going to be speaking at the new Apple Store in Lincoln Park. We're going to be talking about what we do away from our computers that really inspires our work. It's going to be from 7PM to 8PM. Swing by and say "Hi!"
Of course, most excitingly, this Friday we will be featuring our friends Public School at The Family Room. This Austin-based collective focused on design, illustration and photography have put together a show entitled "Homework". Homework is an opportunity to show work created individually, after-hours, and with no client direction. Spanning a variety of mediums and covering subjects including cowboys, hot dogs, old motels, 30s stuff, and trade gothic, Homework features much of the self-initiated work produced by the studio this year. Join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 9th, 2011.
This event is sponsored by the rad cats at Uncommon. We will be selling limited run, Public-School-designed iPhone 4 cases!

Minimalist Lego Advertising
In case you haven't seen this. A genuis series of Lego ads by German advertising agency Jung von Matt. Took me looking at the ad on multiple occasions to figure it out.. But, I did.
Hotbox
"Simply put, HOTBOX is a bread truck turned into an art gallery. It has a small gallery space inside and the outside is a free for all. "
I see the hotbox near my house all the time, but I have never seen it action. Just watch the damn video and then support the US Tour via Kickstarter.
