Two Saturdays ago I took a trip into the city to see Infinite Jest: Caricature and Satire from Leonardo to Levine at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The exhibition includes drawings and prints from many well-known artists, organized by subjects of political, social, and personal meaning. On display through March 4th.

This work, used to promote the event, is The Grimaces by Louis-Leopold Boilly 1823.

Though many of the works contain incredible detail (see photo above), the simplicity
of this one really caught my eye. Artur Rubinstein by Al Hirschfeld. 1981.

Cheers! These cards were made from recycled paper and spent barley. They come in shades of wheat, pilsner, amber, and porter. Custom invitations available. 
Since, my boyfriend Tom is a home-brewer and I’m a designer… Perhaps we can join forces to make these some day.

…that all young designers need to know. Such a great article, full of sound advice.

Now that the holidays are almost over, it’s a perfect time to reflect. One nature-inspired trend I noticed and loved this season were red cardinals. They could be found in dish ware, stationery, and home decor.
