This World Series will be a fight to the end i’m sure. But if successful the Giants will have won 3 championships in 5 years. So, the quest for the title is almost in reach. Go Giants!!!

Big Kids
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.

KC03: Battle of the Bats
Digitized by Tad Carpenter
Well, Game 01 of the Series did not go as planned. Luckily, we have plenty of baseball left to play. If the Royals are gonna get back in this thing our bats are gonna have to heat up. We need to Let the Moose Loose. Swing for the Fountains Moustakas, swing for the fountains.
