The Felt & Wire shop is hosting the Feedback Loop Notebook Project. In exchange for free Loop paper from Mohawk, 25 leading US letterpress printers were asked to create 50 unique notebooks. 100% of the 15$ purchase price of each notebook will go to Design Ignites Change to support its youth mentorship project, School: By Design.

Here’s a peek.

Now go get a few for yourself! Click here to visit the Felt & Wire shop.

Most of us in the “we post our work on the Internet” world have some familiarity with Creative Commons. It’s a nonprofit corporation dedicated to making it easier for people to share and build upon the work of others, consistent with the rules of copyright. Creative Commons provides free licenses and other legal tools to mark creative work with the freedom the creator wants it to carry, so others can share, remix, use commercially, or any combination thereof. You can learn more here.

But talking to you about Creative Commons is not the point of this post. This Shepard Fairey designed t-shirt is the point of this post!

Slightly Kentucky-Derby-ish sun hat and cheesy grin aside, that’s one sweet t-shirt design. Let’s take a look at the men’s version.

Why don’t they make the man wear a crazy sun hat and cheesy grin? Yeesh.

At any rate, the t-shirts are just $25 and proceeds benefit Creative Commons. Get your own here.

Here is some design we can all learn from. London-based designer Christopher Raeburn constructs these coats from never-even-unpacked battle dress jackets found in storage in the UK.  Apparently the shipping boxes for the coats still had packing labels from the 1950s! Love the re-use/re-purpose/re-make ethos behind this fashion designer’s products.

Peter Lindbergh’s macbook is a work of art – custom art, that is! Look at this engraving. Isn’t it gorgeous?

llama with scarf

I’ve had this photo of a be-scarved llama on my inspiration board for a long time. I don’t even know where I found it. Maybe it was a Banana Republic ad? It doesn’t matter. Point is, I love it. And it makes me smile.

However, I am seriously considering committing a little llama infidelity. Introducing: potential new llama.

Con: no scarf. Pro: sweet face, pop-py colours and a letter. What’s not to love? The print is by Etsy artist Magen, and you can find it (for $5!) here.
