2011 Calendar; silver and black on chipboard

By Lindsay Arth | Published: January 21, 2011

Kristina Mueller created this silver-y 2011 calendar as part of a promo package for the New Year. It’s printed on chipboard which makes it extra great. The tactile-ness of the chipboard is allowed to show through the ink in small speckles, contrasting nicely with the silver-and-black sleekness of this piece. Each one is unique!

Artists/Designers: Kristina Mueller
Printing method: Pinball Publishing, Offset
Ink: Silver Metallic, and black
Paper: Chipboard .020pt Kraft

Holiday greeting cards for Daytrip Society

By Lindsay Arth | Published: November 15, 2010

Holidays and whales

Well, three of these greeting cards are for the holidays and one is not. It’s about love and whales. Either way, they all have a little to do with getting outside and enjoying the sights. Owners of Daytrip Society, Jessica Jenkins and Andy West, consider themselves “ardent daytrippers” and offer their shop as a destination for those inspired by romance and the outdoors. They began Daytrip Society in their home state of Maine with the purpose of encouraging others to go on adventures, or at the very least, surround themselves with little pieces of nature.

Red and white business cards for Fifty Licks, Yum!

By Lindsay Arth | Published: November 3, 2010

Yum, yum! Good for the tum!

It may be getting colder around these parts, but I for one, can always eat ice cream. The Fifty-Licks menu is comprised of some really fun flavors including Maple with Bacon and Carmelized Apple. They even make grown-up ice cream: Slabtown Whiskey, whoa. If you live in Portland, look for a Fifty-Licks ice cream truck soon as well as a cart opening up. In the meantime, there are a number of other locations that serve their handmade ice cream. Ask and you shall receive.

Screen Printed CD Packaging from Sire Press

By Lindsay Arth | Published: October 26, 2010

This is what Sire Press is all about – small quantity CD production. You may remember Sire Press from before with their screen printed business cards. Great job, guys!

From the printers:

Slorder is a 3 piece instrumental side-project by Stephen Egerton from the seminal punk bands The Decendents and ALL. The designer explained the artwork as wanting to “capture the Adolecents/Jealous Again EP/LA new wave feel with solid inks”. We think this project came out great using the eco-friendly inks that created a fantastic ultra smooth matte finish.

To celebrate the launch of the Feel Good Spa at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs, the friendly folks over there had this charming little invite printed up. They are having a party!
