Graphic Designer Dad Illustrates His Kids’ Lunch Bags Almost Every Day Since 2008

Graphic designer and competitor for Best Dad Ever David LaFerriere has been drawing illustrations on his children’s sandwich bags since 2008. Lucky for us he photographs almost every single one, over 1,100 of which you can explore over on Flickr. (via quipsologies)

theparisreview:

This landscape with its somber skies
Must have fallen in love
With a story by Edgar Allan Poe.
One of its birch trees could be his Eleonora,
And the other, further on, Ligeia.

Life is a dream within a dream,
Whisper the fallen leaves under our feet.
The old house, softly lit from within
By its copper pots and mirrors,
Seems even more abandoned this evening.

What if I were to knock on its door?
Keeping in mind, as I push it open
And enter cautiously, that for Poe
Beauty could be the cause of sudden death.

—Charles Simic, “Dead Season”

Identity for NYU Game Center X Attract Mode, the collaboration of NYU Game Center & Attract Mode.

Corey Schmitz gets better with everything he does, and he was already plenty good. I also really like his identity work for Venus Patrol.

Joy to You Baby - Josh Ritter

Leave it to Josh Ritter to find a way to make a breakup song (a divorce song, really) a graceful and hopeful thing.

Can’t wait for the new record, and definitely can’t wait to see him live next month!
