My best hoodie is by American Giant, which I thrifted (!!) for $40, new $158. I was running a hand along a rack and IMMEDIATELY felt the quality of material. The difference between a 13oz 100% cotton and the common poly-blend is staggeriy. It's a beast, I'm wearing it instead of a coat.
Let me show you the difference between a $40 hoodie and a ~$100 hoodie. 🧵

I have created a "quarantine" group on my phone, where I am putting all the apps I'm debating deleting based on whether or not they spark joy or are just a constant platform of frustration.

I had a print planned for the end of the year but I'm in a new dark headspace now and want to throw it out and draw screaming harpies instead.

The thing about Coke's new slop is they didn't need to do it. Christmas ads are universally nostalgic, an amorphous setting that's just coziness and vibes. If you get the mix right, you never need to make another ad.
Which is why Hershey has been running the same damn kisses=bells ad for 35 YEARS.

In 2021, we published a series of portraits and interviews with people shot in the eye during the George Floyd protests.
One of them, Soren Stevenson, just won his race for Minneapolis City Council.

I don't even live in New York and I recognized a lot of the reference points. Brilliant example of design and color conveying meaning.
In particular Aneesh Bhoopathy, from the design coop Forge, who designed the identity. A brilliant reminder to *employ human creatives!*
