On the hunt for unique gifts
November 23, 2010
Racked blogs about the Cool Hunting Gap Holiday 2010 Pop-Up Shop which features Gluekit’s Brick Bookends.
Images of Gluekit’s installation at Faesthetic’s first LA curated show, This Must Be The Place, at the SCION Space gallery in Culver City. Featuring the work of Gluekit, Matt Curry, Maxwell Loren Holyoke-Hirsch, Skullphone, Damien Correll, Dan Funderburgh, Joel Speasmaker & Jemma Hostetler. The exhibition features nine American artists from the Faesthetic family who represent the diverse styles appearing in the magazine, and is comprised of art centered around a theme of “Home,” and loosely limited to a 2 color palette, just like an issue of Faesthetic.

Shelf Life: We Say It’s All Good
March 17, 2009
Our shelf snapshot is up at Dudes in Suits, another exciting endeavor by Mike Perry (& crew?). We were quite intrigued by the first assortment of entries– it’s fun to see what people collect and are inspired by, the kinds of detritus that builds up around creative folks. Lots of great stuff. The latest set of entries is now up, and includes our shelf! Here’s the original call for shelves, in case you’d like to get in on the action… or just compile a fun little snapshot for your own self.
Stories and Art Postcard

2008 Stories and Art postcard for the Yale University Art Gallery series which invites families to join YUAG staff for tales of “distant times and faraway lands [to] inspire children of all ages to view art in a new way.”
Part of It Gets Imprinted!
March 4, 2009
We were super pleased to find an image of the Alphabet shirt that Daniel Eatock designed for Gluekit’s Part of It project in his brilliant recent monograph Imprint (2008). For more insight into Eatock’s meticulous practice and his projects, check out Eatock’s website and, in particular, the section on Imprint itself.

Recent typographic work
Gluekit in Wired!
February 2, 2009
The February 2009 issue of Wired Magazine, currently on newstands here in the U.S., features a Gluekit illustration for their Jargon Watch column (Gluekit loves speech bubbles!). We were super thrilled to be asked to do a three-dimensional black and white illustration, which follows along in the same tradition as many of our image projects. Thanks, Wired!

Print This: “C’mon, Feel the Drips”
January 23, 2009
During our work on the Print Magazine 2008 Regional Design Annual cover and interior spreads (!!), we generated hundreds of photographs documenting our approach and process for creating three-dimensional typographic scenes. Some of these images we loved for their simplicity–others for their spatial oddness, color play, or because of the exact moment they captured. This one? Well, we love drips crawling down a white wall. Drips and splatters do feature prominently in much of our work– tactile and messy and nearly always evidence of the process at hand. And in this photo you can also spot some of the stage markings we used to indicate placement for objects. In order to create some of the visual effects on the cover, we needed to calculate the right angle and position for the various components using a whole host of techniques.
Gluekit Goes Typo!
January 22, 2009
The November 2008 issue of Grafik magazine featured the Yale University Art Gallery’s Calender Cover Series! Here’s a snapshot of the spread, which showcased covers by Parra, Mike Perry, Ryan Waller, Todd St. John and Antoine+Manuel.
We’ll be posting the slate of awesome Spring 2009 covers, with work by Kate Moross, Kevin Lyons, Cody Hudson, and Labour, over the next few weeks.
Take a Note!
January 5, 2009
Back in September, we were thrilled to be asked to participate in a giant yellow sticky project by the kind folks of Elsewhere. Their project was a collaborative poster campaign that used the motif of stickies, created by various graphic designers and studios, to paste up design across London during the 2008 London Design Festival. The limited edition and in many cases completely unique posters were free for the collecting by intrepid festivel goers. The Elsewhere site has a photo set of the posters in situ.
Our contribution was a set of neon green stenciled “Stick Together” stickies, a hand-numbered edition of twenty. You can see one in the snapshot above of one of the site installation of the project, taken at the Design Museum, surrounded by contributions by other participants!

Make Some (More) Noise
January 1, 2009
What better way to ring in the new year (Happy 2009!!) then by making some noise! And this handy tote, designed by Wyeth Hansen, can remind you to keep the beat strong throughout the whole year. A portion of the profits have been designated by Wyeth to go to the Fresno Arts Council.
Available from Part of It for $20 + shipping.
