You could be brilliant

I push people away, but all I really want is someone to hold me and tell me it’s gonna be OK.

I just wanted you to fall like I did.

You CAN love with all your heart, no questions asked.

It is sad that your situation is exactly the same as it was 10 years ago.

Go home, sit in the dark, with your cats, & your dildos, and turn on the T.V., so there is some other sound, other than your own heartbeat.

You could be brilliant, but you’re a coward.

I hope that someday, someone wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight, and that’s all they do. They don’t pull away, they don’t look at your face, they don’t try to kiss you. They just wrap you up in their arms, without an ounce of selfishness in it.

The future of the book

It occurred to me today, (I inexplicably thought about the demise of Borders bookstores), that when my Grandchildren are my age, there will be no mass produced books. The only books that will be produced, will be by artists and artisans. I am of course referring to the codex, the hardbound, tangible, fragile, tactile, dogeared, immensely loved book as we now know it. Oh, there will still be published literary works, and they may still be called books, but they won’t actually be books. Curling up with a good Kindle, just doesn’t have the same ring, or evoke the same emotional response. I for one, will truly miss them.

Typography Inspiration III

A written word is the choicest of relics. It is something at once more intimate with us and more universal, than any other work of art.”- THOREAU -The following typographic images were collected by the members of the studio. They struck some kind of a cord with us, enough to keep them on our machines. Outstanding examples of typographic craftsmanship both old and new abound. We hope you find them as inspirational and thought provoking as we do. We have no idea where they came from. Posting of these images is not, and should not, be construed as a challenge to their ownership. If you are the owner, and wish us to remove them or wish attribution, just drop us a line, we will be happy to comply.
