My friend Julia Kostreva was on Beast Pieces AND Martha Stewart Weddings today for her work for her work on (I believe) her brother’s and soon-to-be sister-in-law’s LED and Orchid-themed wedding (although on Martha Stewart, she’s not named until slide 3 and never linked). It was one of her senior projects and we were all so proud of her for how it turned out. I love the directions card, personally!
CONGRATS, JULIA!
(She also does a good job here of mixing Futura with Archer and handwriting!)
Check out the new House Industries serigraphs! Favs are the Tuscan alphabet, the 5 and the border print!

I am in love with these F. Scott Fitzgerald Coralie Bickford-Smith has made for Penguin Classics. They even come with bookmarks! You might have noticed her work before—she made these cloth-bound renditions of classics (came to my attention via The Dieline).
Busk.com is a brazilian social networking site that updates their homepage with illustrations of a Weimaraner with a newspaper in its mouth. May I humbly submit what I think might be the best possible rendition of the subject, by always with honor.
(To see it in action, visit the site and hit refresh a few times until you get it.)
While I don’t really like most of the “rebranding” taking place in Matt Chase’s United States Postal Service Re-Branding (I actually sort of adore the branding USPS has right now), but these little stamp dispensers are so cute!
Apparently, at Comic-Con, Oni was selling posters for some of the fictional bands in the Scott Pilgrim comics/movie. Very cool! (via the designer of the Sex Bob-omb poster, TRAGIC SUNSHINE)
As the first commenter says, “The first person to do this correctly will make a mint.” I hope someone capable of building an app like this—possibly Panic, creators of Coda—will take notice.
Absolutely loving this series of ASCII business cards for the maven of witty editorial illustrations, Jennifer Daniel. Printed by The Cranky Pressman. I love everything, right down to the magenta edging.
Grain & Gram is a Monocle-esque-looking, internet-based “Gentleman’s Journal” whose articles are thoughtfully composed visually and verbally. Add to that some amazing photographs that accompany the articles, and you have a website that I’ll definitely be coming back to. (via KN)
Ryohei Yanagihara is an amazing Japanese illustrator that I haven’t heard of until now. I wonder what goes on in the book above!? (via KN)
Mike Davidson blogs about the trials and tribulations of making his perfect dream house. File this under “will need this in 10-20 years” (via Swissmiss)
I really like the work that industrial designers DBA do. Featuring the world’s first 98% biodegradable pen ($9 for 3), and in the future, a hyper-cool (or warm, rather) space heater (pictured). (via swissmiss)
French Pulp Fiction covers on Spine Out. While all of them are eye-catchers, this one especially got me.
