We’re Back!
Monday, May 7, 2012

We’re back from tour and back to work. There are a bunch of new projects we’re really excited about in the works. For example, as soon as we got back, we designed this shirt for the Brooklyn-based band Hospitality.  Their self-titled record is out now via Merge Records. Pick it up, go see them live and buy the shirt below!  We also spent some time updating the various sections within “Work” on the site.  Be sure to check them out too.

On Tour With The Magnetic Fields
Monday, March 12, 2012

One of the most gratifying things we do is get to handsell things we’ve designed, and there’s no more fun place to do that than at the merch booth for our pals The Magnetic Fields. If you haven’t ever listened to the band, you should start here, with their new record, Love at the Bottom of the Sea (which we designed). If you love them, you should buy a ticket to one of the concerts here. If you love them and have already bought a ticket, you should be sure to follow the tour blog that Emma and I are keeping here and visit the merch booth when you come.

Next stop, Austin, Texas!

Hey, I’ve Read Books!
Tuesday, February 21, 2012

Sorry for the radio silence recently.  We’ve been gearing up to once again hit the road and sell merch for our friends The Magnetic Fields on their upcoming US and Canadian tours. If you live in any of the cities we’re coming to, please come to the show and stop by the merch booth and say hi. We like scones and whiskey.  Just sayin…..

Anyway, we just got these tees we designed for our dear friends at WORD Bookstore in Greenpoint, Brooklyn back from the printer. Check them out below.  If you’re not in Brooklyn, but still want to tell everyone how you read books, you can order a shirt online here. We’re also working on baby and kids variations.  Keep an eye out.

New Work: Packaging for Ovenly
Thursday, December 15, 2011

The amazing ladies of Ovenly approached us a few months ago about designing their packaging for the amazing savory snacks they make.  Check out some of the results below.  We’re also in the process of redesigning their website and working on a few other exciting projects with them. Stay tuned.  Also, seek out and buy their chocolate ginger cookies as well as their egg nog cookies.  They’ll blow your mind.

New Work: The Magnetic Fields “Love at the Bottom of the Sea”
Tuesday, December 13, 2011

We’re so excited to reveal the cover we designed for the upcoming Magnetic Fields release Love at the Bottom of the Sea! Wait until you see the interior! LatBotS will be released via Merge Records on March 6, 2012.  The release will be followed by a North American tour which we’ll, once again, be designing and selling merch for. So, get your tickets to one of the shows (dates below), come by the merch booth, and say hi.  We accept baked goods, alcohol, and hugs.  Be sure to pre-order the record over at Merge.  We’ve had it on repeat in the studio for the last few weeks. Trust us when we say it’s amazing.  The first 100 orders get a M+E-designed poster and button.  Finally, the first 500 copies of the LP are on eggshell-colored vinyl.  The limited vinyl will only be available at the Merge Store and on tour.  Get one before they’re gone.
