Good morning :) Hope you had a nice weekend… I went to the bake sale (it’s happening again this Saturday, I donated some letterpress cards and will be there this week!) and the fundraising event to support my friends and my country. It felt really great :)
Came across this awesome poster by Beauchamping and had to share — REMEMBRANCE. All profits donated to disaster relief.
All the cities affected by natural disasters are listed under the “REMEMBRANCE The Coming Together As One” and the graphic is a simple circle (also, Japan’s country flag) — LOVE the concept and simple yet very strong message here.

There are a lot of artists trying to raise funds for Japan Earthquake relief, it is so touching to see! It’s great for us, too, we can shop and be a help at the same time :) Tomoko from TOTA Press is printing a special edition of letterpress cards (see picture above) and 100% of the proceeds go to the American Red Cross. Please check it out here!

Last, but definitely not least, oktak is donating 50% of all sales to Japan Earthquake Relief. (she inspired me to do the same!)

Let me know if you are raising funds or if you know of any other artists doing so, I will keep adding links and information here. Thank you so much! and ENJOY shopping for good cause :)
I came across these wonderful typographic posters over the weekend (did you see the Oscars? I was so happy to see Natalie Portman won the Best Actress!) and just wanted to share. Monday can be hectic, but hey, “Stay cool, be confident and everything is gonna be alright“!
There are 2 others just as great!
So with these in mind, let’s have a great week, shall we? :)

This poster on the wall caught my eye. The End of Print. Love the type treatment. Looks like wood types…
There are a lot of hand-printed books in the shop, it’s awesome to look around. This book cover is 3-color letterpress printed.
and this book cover was really well letterpressed. (sorry for my iPhone quality photos..) Makes me want to work on a book cover…!
Happy Friday! :)
New York Print by Blanca Gómez:
San Francisco Poster by Fleet Street Scandal:
oh and the top poster that reads “This place is filled with Printing Junque” is so perfect for the shop I have nothing else to say.
With that in mind, I am off to my letterpress studio! Have a great day, everyone! xo Hijiri
If you are lucky and live in Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angels, make sure to go check it out for me…
Also, sending my warmest support to all the handmade artists!
I wish they come to Brooklyn in holiday time soon… please? :)
Each face part is made out of some kind of type and the names of the fonts are on the bottom of the poster. So awesome :) May the force of Typography be with you!!

I’ll be printing all day today, wishing you a happy weekend and I will see you back on Monday! xo Hijiri
There is something really cute about this poster, inspire me to make a poster for kids to learn how to count numbers… :)
Tuesday morning inspiration. Have a great day!
Live With Art It’s Good For You poster — this was a huge poster! Oh, how I adore wood types… I want to try the background printing like that, too…
I must admit that I am drawn to paper cut work a lot these days… this was so sweet :) Made my heart warm…
