LETTERPRESS INFLUENCES

THE ALCHEMY HOUR

The homie DeeJae hit me off with a sneak peak of the new look book for Alchemy Hour, a Japanese born brand. This season casts a dark and ominous feel yet mature like a fine wine. Peep the site here.

JENGA ARCHITECTURE

Meir Lobaton + Kristjan Donaldson recently shared their design for a 36 story residential tower in Mexico City, Mexico. The project addressed the balance between the desire of living in a single-family residence with the cost of the land.

Beautiful concept between space and open skies. I don't mind a walk through but the flaws need to be addressed.

THE POTENTIAL OF ONE

A type case study I've had the pleasure to work on with DanDiggity, a Healthy Hustler for a fundraiser T-shirt. I revisited the roots of my design education using Helvetica, and to be honest, it was quite refreshing to resurrect the Swiss in me. The Potential of One...
