The Feedback Loop Notebook Project

check out this really cool pro bono project created to benefit youth all over the country.


Twenty-five leading letterpress printers were asked to create fifty unique notebooks. They could do whatever they wanted. Their limited edition books will be sold on Felt & Wire Shop, in a special storefront, with 100% of the proceeds going to Design Ignites Change, to support their School: by Design youth mentorship program.

Also a catalyst for change, Mohawk Fine Papers donated the paper; and the printers could pick any stock they wanted from the Mohawk Loop paper line. Our youth will be in control someday so lets guide them in the right direction.

I am really enjoying this oversized letterpressed calendar from seesaw designs. I'm a few months late but there is still plenty of time to show it off before 2011. The limited-edition wall calendar includes four designs, each with 3 months per page (size is 7.25″x11.5).

What a whirl wind of a week i just had...it was just one of those times when so many things hit you all at once and you need a few days to recover from it.

below is me putting together my part for a group poster collaboration.
