Let it swim
I was at a sample sale at the Ace Hotel in NYC (such a cool hotel!!) last week and look what I found — a wall full of types! That’s an eighth floor information wall you see when you just get off the elevator.
I LOVE everything about this wall. So awesome.
Everywhere you go, each turn you make, you see something so very cool in this hotel, I just wanna spend all day looking around and finding things. Could I do that, please? :)
I’ve been having a house guest since Wednesday — we saw the bridges every single day and took lots of pictures. Here are some photos I took while taking her to the Brooklyn Bridge park for the first time.
The little beach under the Manhattan Bridge.

Hope you all had a nice weekend! :)
Last night, I was able to attend a great talk entitled “Wood Type in the Digital Age” by Nick Sherman at the Type Directors Club. As you may know, I work with wood type a lot so once I saw the title and who’s giving a talk, I was there already.
These images are from Nick’s Intercut wood typeface project, it was so great to see the process, behind the scene, his thoughts…
Pressing Letters has a nice recap from last night’s talk here.
So glad I went!! I was so inspired to do more work with wood type and do something different, too!!
From this year’s Fashion’s Night Out… (wow, I guess this was 2 weeks ago. Time flies so fast lately, I can hardly keep up…)
A live Ken dolls truck! Spotted in SOHO. As you can see, it was surrounded by so many girls and boys! :)
It was so crazy everywhere that night. It sure was way bigger than last year and packed with so many people!
Happy Friday :)
