happy friday + blast of color...

What an amazing blast of color from this photo by Sara Morishige Williams of an gorgeous exhibit at the Asian Art Museum of SF a couple years ago...happy weekend!

i'll find a way...

The first business I ever had was as a calligrapher when I was 14 years old. I put flyers and my business card in neighbors mailboxes and would address envelopes and certificates for anyone who wanted it. So, there's always been a soft spot in my heart for calligraphy and any exploration of hand-written type. I love this series of sketches and explorations from a calligraphy class in Brazil. And this one (shown) is especially lovely.

love these...

Current members and those who sign up in June get the third collectors edition click pen and I am also sending a "3" letterpress print in silver or copper to match their pen.

oh joy! for chronicle books

For the last two years right around this time, I've prepped for the big National Stationery Show in New York to debut new collections of my stationery line, Nantaka Joy. I'm taking a break from the show this year due to the big move in a couple months and also due to some exciting changes. My two companies are merging and all stationery products from here on out will be under the Oh Joy! name which I have been using for my studio and this blog for some time now. So, for those of you attending NSS, I won't be exhibiting as usual, but you CAN find my brand new collection with Chronicle Books at their booth #3550. They are debuting 5 new Oh Joy! products including some brand new formats for the office. The products will hit stores in the fall, but retailers will get a sneak peek & can place orders at the show...

bits of sunshine...

Sorry for the late posting today! I had some technical difficulties this morning. The sun is finally shining after a week of rain and gloom over here, and these super colorful vintage matchbooks by Saul Bass seem appropriate today. {via Mary & Matt, thanks seesaw!}
