Superhero Supply Store

As a follow up to this post about the Pirate Supply Store in California... you will be pleased to know that you can now buy Superhero supplies in Brooklyn. The Superhero store is also part of the 826 initiative to encourage creative writing skills in students. Again, there is an amazing storefront selling the necessities that all great superheros need. Plus they have useful tools such as a cape-testing area. I mean, how could a superhero shop anywhere else?

The design of the store and packaging is fantastic, and perfect for the subject matter. It was designed by Sam Potts. He did a stellar job. This looks like the type of project that every designer dreams of.

Oh, I just couldn't resist...

Friday Fun

Here's an oldie, but goodie, for your Friday amusement.

No Talking

This is my type of graffiti. I just saw this on Peter Gibbons Blog (click). It's called "Sticker Graffiti." This was spotted on the Victoria Line of the London Underground. Basically someone mimics local signage in color and tone, but with a slightly different message :) I can think of a few places that could use some new "signs" such as this.... If the commuter train suddenly has a No Talking sign next week, I didn't do it. Ok?

Friday Fun: Swirl me, Twirl me

Gorgeous work from California-based artist, Reed Danziger. These are unbelievably intricate paintings. They are organic, fanciful, lacy, but most of all, beautiful. The more you look at them the more you notice. If you read the articles on her website you'll learn a bit about how she works. Apparently she does a lot of initial reference, but then "closes the books" once she begins a project and works only from memory.
