I know. I’m sorry. It’s been forever. I’m asking for your forgiveness with Mary & Matt’s minimalist-inspired chocolate bars. *pouting face & puppy dog eyes*

Here’s a gem of a website that I’ve been tucking away because I adore it so much, I don’t want to share. Call it what you want, I suggest hoarding and/or being selfish, but I’m at a point in our relationship where I’m okay with letting you into my world of enchantment, also known as, Present & Correct. Enjoy.

Minimalista! Are you with me? New work from Hey Studio here.

Apples & Owls does not promote cigarette smoking….but with packaging as good as this, we can make exceptions. On second thought, I highly recommend Cigarette Juice instead. Anyhow, ASYL is responsible for art direction of these which not only make it easier to distinguish flavors, but instead of a flip top opening, they slide out from the slide. Skillionaire!

We heart The Curiosity Shoppe. (Yeah, me and about 60% of the female population in SF. And maybe 25% of males) They have a new exhibit up by Treatzone, another gem of San Francisco. I visited during their opening and yes, there was candy corn and Tecate. MmMmmmmm. And lovely ghosts painted on postcards.

The London 2012 Olympic pictograms were unveiled this week, representing each of the sports and disciplines.  SomeOne in London decided to design a silhouette version and a new ‘dynamic’ line drawing version, used especially for outdoor. What do you guys feel about this new look?

Hey Los Angelenos/typography dorks, get inspired here. Andrew Byrom + Ed Fella + Sunook Park = MAJOR collabo. Apples & Owls says GO!

Glug-glug-glug. Sounds and looks good to me.

Masamichi Katayama is the divine genius behind many of the most innovative retails spaces that exist. It comes as no surprise that his web site exudes the same brillance.

Be prepared to exit Dull City and enter Legitsville, Population 3. More here. But mostly here.
