I have a few spots left for Issue #3, which will be released to an audience of 20,000 readers on Wednesday, September 3rd. Thought I’d have a little fun and throw in an extra surprise for those of you who support the mag, so for this issue ONLY, purchase a basic ad [$100 value] and receive a weekly ad spot on Design for Mankind [$25 value] for FREE!
Email me to reserve your spot!


Justin sent me an email with his work this afternoon and MY GOODNESS, I just have to kick off the 3-day weekend with his vision.
I like to think these are little aliens laughing in their own secret code at how badly we’ve messed up our planet.
Or… planets?

p.s. That’s it for today, and I’ll be spending Labor Day laboring over Mankind Mag, which will be released Wednesday, Sept 3rd! Be ready… ;)


Why is it that anyone with the last name Engman is just so darn brilliant!?

Jag [great name!] sent a link in yesterday to her super fun line of greeting cards. I’m a big fan of this block design and would love to send it out next time I forget a birthday.
Get it? I’m a blockhead!

Fun and playful illustrations from dear Sara. I don’t quite wish I had a hook, but I admire this gal’s high hopes.

Love love love Cake + Milk’s new green line which features the latest and greatest in eco-paper products.
Craving the Snail Mail gocco journal— I badly want to sit in that delightful chair!

Twin #2 now! This piece is from one of Laurie’s collections entitled ‘My Father and I.’ It was really SO hard to choose which photo to feature, so if you have a few minutes, to peruse Laurie’s whole site. It’s really very lovely work!
Thanks again for the introduction, Laura!

Laura was kind enough to send me a link of the most talented set of twins I think I’ve ever come across. Their work is too separate to post together, so here’s Hanna first.
Such beautiful perspective here. I love Hanna’s fascination with collections and paired objects, as evident in her site. It’s a perfect example of maintaining your artistic roots!
