We just finished this series of limited edition posters. They’re sort of like new rules of the workplace for today’s companies. Except, we did them old-school and letterpressed them on card stock that either makes them looks like old Bomb-Pops or as if they fell out of a pack of Life Savers. It seems the thoughts are pretty universal and extend way beyond the world of advertising and production. (When your mom asks you whether she should have an account on “the Twitter” you know the new media has crept far outside of Cupertino, Saratoga and Palo Alto.) Special thanks to the fine folks at Tribune Showprint for helping print these things. If you want to purchase a set, visit our newly created store.

Earlier this year, we turned our studio into a grocery store – or so the neighbors thought. Adorning the walls and windows with hand-painted, grocery store signs selling “Genetically Engineered Corn”, “Overpriced Organic Bananas” and “Mercury Tainted Salmon Steaks”. In addition to a bunch of press and a steady stream of people wandering in asking, “Do you really sell Salmon?” (um, yeah, our fishmonger is in the back…). The signs have been adopted and used by locals in their fight against GMOs. Of course, we’re very happy with both these results. We always tell our clients it’s important to be provocative and get people talking so it’s nice to know this thinking works. Many thanks to Southwest Signs for making this project come to life.

Everyday, a busy stream of people walk by our storefront. Tourists, businessmen, soccer moms, hippies, retired hippies. This flow of daily traffic is perfectly framed by our front window and we thought would make a great still life. So, for two weeks in March we documented what happened. Many thanks to Wendy MacNaughton who helped conceive the idea and Mark Likosky who patiently sat atop a stool and inconspicuously snapped much of the action.
