I read Austin Kleon’s tumblr fairly frequently, and he posts about artists and writers and the way they do their work. In a number of artist’s process, regular practice comes up—writers who write 400 words right when they get up, or artists who do a page in their sketchbook every day. This appeals to me, …

I really admire this progression that some designers are making, from doing work at an agency, to freelancing, …

I’m a sucker for stationary. Notebooks, pens, pretty papers? I hoard that stuff. I recently received* The Pocket Pack of notebooks. See!? They’re so cute! They come in a little envelope and each of them is labeled with a size, from back pocket to messenger bag. The one thing they’re missing? The “these pants don’t have …
