What a great exercise in understanding the way type transforms. Tien-Min Liao must have put in a lot of time and had a lot of patience to get such well formed letters.

I particularly like:
and if you want to get nerdy with it:
My version of the flapping bird on our pink sale paper:
Also, his voice is so soothing. In a Bob Ross sort of way. And sometimes there is soft piano in the background.

Hopefully by now, if you’re in the BFA show this sprint, you’ve finished installing. We’ve printed a lot of it, and we’re excited to see it hanging on the walls.
Now its time to think about getting yourself some business cards and post cards. Business cards get your name and contact info the the pockets of possible future business contacts and gallery owners. And we can print them for you too! We print business cards and postcards on 80lb cardstock paper. And they only take 24 hours!
The Service Bureau offers templates for printing business cards or postcards with us. Templates make the whole printing process easier. Using our template, 250 double sided full color business cards on a matte finish cardstock only cost $37 (which is a steal).
The business card template puts 8 standard size business cards on a letter sized piece of paper. The post card template puts two postcards on an letter sized piece of paper. Follow the link below to download the template and instructions.

There is an Indesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop version of each template, so you can use whatever program you are most comfortable with. Be sure to read the directions carefully. Each version of our templates will have a “YOUR ARTWORK” layer. That is where your business/post card design should go. When working in Indesign or Illustrator, the template layers are set so that when you export your file as a PDF they won’t show up. In Photoshop you will have to delete the template (but not the crop mark) layer before exporting. If you are unfamiliar with the layers feature in any of these programs come talk to us and we can help you out.
Good luck with your big night! We will see you there!

Sorting Images in the New York Times photo "morgue"
And it promises to be awesome. In an effort to make public some of the millions (no really, millions) of images the New York Times has accumulated since 1896, they have started a Tumblr called The Lively Morgue. Every week new pictures will be posted to the blog, each with a little back story, some with a long backstory. Some will even be for sale as prints. Get inspired, check it out!
Happy Viewing,
