The good folks at IDEO and MassMutual joined together to create the Society of Grownups: a shop to help foster financial literacy and help everyone embrace their inner adult. The artwork above is for a mural explaining the groups manifesto. It can be seen at their brick & mortar location based in the Brookline neighborhood of Boston.
FOT LA Show
We’re taking our Always Play Amongst Friends show down to LA with our good buddy James of The Aesthetic Union. The good folks at Poketo have kindly agreed to hosting us in the gallery space of their flagship store. Opening reception October 9th, 6-8pm, Poketo: 820 E 3rd St, Los Angeles, CA 90013
There will be 4 new letterpress prints in addition to new color ways of the previous 4 from the SF show. A secret additional print will be given as a bonus to the first 25 who purchase our Keep Fresh, Stay Rad box set from Poketo.
The fun doesn’t stop there. There will also be a pop-up portion of the shop that will be curated by us.

XOXO festival
Attendees for this year’s XOXO festival will be receiving a shirt of the artwork above in their swag bag. The design was also used as the mural for the event space. Big thanks to Colt Bowden and John B. for helping me earn my wall dog badge!
re-up
I’ve wanted to do a Clipse inspired post for some time as they’ve always balanced the raw and real with wit and intelligence. Our Skillshare class “Why We Letter” was the perfect opportunity to pay homage.
My Morning Son
For our Skillshare class ‘Why We Letter’, I chose the opening line from True Faith by New Order. That song has always been one of my favorites and the older I get, that first line continues to grow in meaning for me.
Message to the Future from the Past
