Before Maelstrom and Vermeer are over November 29th, head uptown and check them out. Start with the Vermeer exhibit, which is located on the bottom floor. The Milkmaid, the highlight of […]

Myfonts is a great typographic resource for designers. It’s a place to buy and search for fonts, even if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for. In their September newsletter, they’ve listed 10 fonts for $10 or less, a great deal for those of us used to seeing fonts cost in the neighborhood of $300. Below is […]

Because I love crafting and great DIY ideas, I subscribe to Martha Stewart’s Craft of the Day and Organizing Tip of the Day emails. Recently I’ve seen many I’d like to do. A couple of my favorites are the Handmade Tote Bags, Magnetic Flowers, Feathered Headbands, Book Page Placeholders, Birthday Card Books and the list goes on. All […]
Through my travels on the internet, I came across the adorable Jessica Rust Designs personalized dinnerware and fell completely in love. All of her designs are modern and fresh. My personal favorite is the Birch Tree Collection. Carve your own initials!

Last Friday morning, yet again, a pleasant surprise awaited me as I stepped out of the subway. NYC’s first mobile cupcake truck, the Cupcake Stop, […]
Here at Leibowitz, it’s not often we get to use script fonts, which I think fuels my longing to work with them.
Here are some of the reasons I love:
I love their elegance. Truly beautiful.
I love the huge number of possibilities they offer, with most faces having multiple versions of each letterform.
I love that there’s a wide spectrum, from ultra […]
It took me a while to get myself an iPhone, but now that I have it, I don’t know what I ever did without it — and apparently you can even illustrate the cover of New Yorker Magazine with it. Jorge Colombo — an illustrator, phởtographer and designer — did just that. The June 1st cover was illustrated completely on the iPhone using the Brushes […]

I get my mom the same gift every Mother’s Day — a membership to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Since I wasn’t going to be able to spend this past Sunday with her, I invited her to the Met for a few hours to wonder around and […]

Since I haven’t done a baseball blog in over a year, I thought it was time to update everyone on the new stadium up in the Bronx. I had the pleasure of going to one of the games this past series with Cleveland, and experiencing the Yankee’s new digs for myself. Here are my top 10 reasons you should get […]
A good friend of mine and fellow designer sent me a link to a website recently. Since we as designers are using fonts all day every day, we should be able to recognize various letterforms from many of the font families we use constantly, right? Take this font challenge here, and see how you stack up to […]
