Based in Brooklyn, NY, enormouschampion is a husband and wife dynamic-duo-of-doin’-stuff. We had the pleasure of printing some greeting cards for them because, just like us, they do their best to use environmentally friendly materials such as 100% recycled paper and soy-based inks. What a perfect partnership!
Such pretty stuff! They have an etsy shop as well where you can browse all the other wonderful things they make.
A little somethin’-somethin’. Scout Books, Chipboard 20pt. Kraft, Blank interiors, Pantone soy-based inks.

Business Cards, Environment White 120# Cover
Mostar Studio specializes in some pretty sleek product design. Founded in 2008 in Portland, OR by Michael Prstojevich, Mostar has worked on some really cool things. And when I say “cool,” I mean it. I want one of those watches.
Hoping to feel inspired tonight? Well, you should head over to Ecotrust for the third installment of SHIFT: A Green Salon. You’ll hear 10 five-minute presentations from creatives and innovators that are working hard to make visual communications better and more sustainable. This fun event also includes a short Q&A, mingling, and giveaways – while enjoying fresh local cupcakes and beer, which is *free* if you bring your own mug!
Past presenters include yours truly + Austin Whipple. Tonight’s line-up includes some Pinball friends and clients (Ooligan Press, Ugly Mug) as well as the mill that makes the interior paper for our Scout Books line (Gray’s Harbor Paper).
Cute as a button!
Punch Cards, Environment White 120# Cover
Modern Domestic is a growing creative community for anyone who wants to hone their sewing skills. Based in our very own Portland, OR, they offer classes from beginner to advanced and all the space and tools needed to get started. They also offer open sewing sessions by the hour or you can purchase this prepaid punchcard. Lupine Swanson kindly provided photos of them in their finished state as the ladies over at MD added some extra-special finishing touches. It’s too cute to pass up and a steal of a deal!
Tess Darrow and Kara Yanagawa from Egg Press were behind the design of these cards. Check them out for some letterpressed goodness!
Josh Shalek is a comic-strip-writing, Oregonian transplant from the Southwest who uses his background as inspiration for the set his comic book “Welcome to Falling Rock National Park”. Personally, I love anything that personifies animals: giant lizards wearing clothes, squirrels with glasses, talking cats, owls with mustaches… and this comic book has them all!
Learn more about Josh on his site and find out how you can get your hands on your own awesome, chipboard-covered comic book!
News Flash: A brand new color management system has been released by the world’s color wizards, and you get to purchase it!
Pantone does it again. They’ve reinvented their color matching system and it’s now answering to the name of Pantone Plus (at least until they rebrand again, whatever happened to the Goe system?).
Truthfully though, the upgrade this time seems worth it. Included are 224 new solid colors, 42 new neons, 300 dazzling metallics, and a plethora of other features, such as chromatic arrangement, iPhone apps, and seamless color coordination with industry standard software (Adobe CS5) and equipment (like Canon, Epson, and Heidelberg to name a few). If that is not enough to convince you to upgrade, consider their Chipin program. It will provide you an up-to $50 rebate on your purchase from the new series.

The Butler Bros. is a creative communications firm based in Austin, TX founded in 2002 by brothers Adam and Marty Butler. Being partners since Marty’s birth, it seemed only natural to continue the relationship and they’ve been designing for a pretty impressive list of clients ever since.
