National Forest

Justin Krietemeyer and Steven Harrington of National Forest have been jamming out crazy-inspiring work for years. In a world where art all-too-often exists as residue of negative energy (insert corny emo song here), we couldn't help but take the time to chat with the overlords of optimism about collaboration, running their design shop and making work that consistently beams good vibes and high fives for all.

Margot Harrington Feature in Peculiar Bliss

Check out Peculiar Bliss's 9th issue (created by Vaughn Fender) featuring Margot Harrington. My favorite part is the cover design, done by Harrington, which was inspired by the issue's theme of rituals, pulling inspiration from her process of crossing off items on a hand written to-do list which she does pretty much every day. This issue also includes a long interview with Margot commenting on how she got into blogging, past collaborations and the integral part that research plays in her process. All of which is sandwiched between some great portraits and work photographed by Julia Stotz.
