And there are so many music posters in New Orleans, so I went in a somewhat different direction.

I hope they get a great turnout; they are raising money for some good causes. It should be a GREAT show and a lot of fun.

What a thrill is is to see our work among the best work of the year.

When we found out our annual holiday letterpress project, “Hoppy Halidays,” had won a coveted Regional Design award, and we were so hoppin’ happy about it, we scared the folks in the adjoining studio. The round “drink mat,” letterpressed Holiday Mailing was designed to be reused as tree decoration or gift tag (or under that tall glass of holiday scotch, obviously, if that struck you). Concept and Illustration by Kayle Simon and letterpress printed in 3 colors (black, red, and white) using our own beloved Oldstyle Pilot Printing press from about 1886.

This was put together to replace the PTA’s old paper newsletter and has been a big hit for parents and students alike, partly due to a “combined calendar” that pulls from county school system, teams, parent booster organizations, and other existing google calendars that serve various school organizations.
