Let it swim
I had to take a picture when I saw this – “We Heart Bacon” sign!!
Nice hand-lettering and it made me smile so much! Who doesn’t love bacon?! right?
and the other side of the sign was….
Ah, that’s why. This side is nicely done, too, I like it. The little beer glass is cute.
December 30th morning inspirations – 2008 is ending really soon!!! I am working at the office this week, which is kind of weird… I never worked between after Christmas and the New Years so… oh well.
I mentioned that I ordered something from UPPERCASE the other day, and I got it finally! I waited for so long at the post office, it is the crazy season to be in the post office… but it was worth it.
The Eclecto Type Treasures – packs of random goodies from vintage liqueur & food labels to plastic sign letters that they put together, you never know what you will get, but this sounded like exactly what I would love no matter what’s inside so I ordered it and…
Mine is like this:
woooooo I love every single one of them!
Cool “F” and “B” “E” are cute, too:
A Vintage liqueur label – very nice.
I love this one – the types are awesome.
and also, I ordered Eclecto Pad – 3 of them!
I’m keeping “H” one for myself, but I gave “X” and “O” to my husband for Christmas (we did our presents opening already before we do our family’s.) They are so great, perfect for a little notes around your desk!
For Christmas Eve morning inspiration. Happy Holidays, everyone!!!
For the last 10 times when I was at the Cooper Union for the letterpress class, I was very fascinated by this typographic art by the entrance in the foundation building. It is stunning! I guess it was a gift to Peter Cooper’s 80th birthday from the class of 1871 (!!) – wow. When you take a close look, it’s even more wonderful because there are so many great use of typography, I’m sure it’s all done by hands, I can stare at this all day.
The 5 art works in the gorgeous frame:
Left side: (sorry for the blurry image… but you still see the great types, right?)
In the middle:
Right side (close up):
Right side (whole):
The curved wood: I love it!
On the bottom – very nice:
More information about this work:
Cooper Union also offers a Calligraphy class, I am actually really interested in the class after seeing this amazing work of art!

I am traveling to Boston today to spend Christmas time with my family-in-law! I’ll be back tomorrow, though, if you are traveling this week, have a safe and fun trip!
I came across these great prints with great typography at SuZanna Anna etsy store. I love the combination of different type and each letter has cute pattern to it, the texture is nice, and each word is really strong… I love it! She has more, but here are my picks.
Hope:
Love:
For Friday morning inspiration. Happy Friday, everyone!
