The Friends of P Tote (designed by Part of It contributors Ryan Waller and Garrett Morin) is now available from Part of It!
As we mentioned previously, the Friends of P project is raising money for the Lupus Foundation of America. If you purchase a from Part of It, a portion of your sale will go to the LFA. Direct donations are also still being accepted at the Friends of P website.
Adrian Johnson’s wonderful “Resistance is Fertile” design is now available on totes and t-shirts at Part of It! These are perfect summer items with a terrific message and a smart graphic. The bags are printed on natural totes ($20.00); tees are silver grey in a variety of Unisex sizes ($28). Adrian’s selected WWF to benefit from sales of products with this design. We love the new totes and tees, and hope you will too!
Super sweltering hotness! Time to break out the bikinis, and what better to page through when you’re lounging in the shade than a fresh and juicy new issue of Faesthetic!? This is a golden issue chockful of infinite goodness from a whole smackload of artists, including our own contribution (sneaky peek above). Rad Mountain provided a bright and shiny cover which we just adore.
Available right now for ten bucks!
We’re proud and very happy to announce that Wyeth Hansen’s design for Part of It, “Make Some Noise!” is now available on both natural tote bags (above, $20) and comfy unisex t-shirts ($28). The shirts are a bright white tee, which is perfect for summer sporting! It’s a really sparkling design sure to amp up enthusiasm wherever it goes! A portion of the profits will go to Wyeth’s chosen recipient, the Fresno Arts Council in Fresno, California.
Available now at Part of It. Check it out!
We are soooo excited to release the next product for the Part of It project– smashing “Let’s Be Honest” tees and totes designed by graphic designers Ken Meier and David Yun.
We think it’s a statement everyone can support, especially in this all-important election year in the States. The totes, as above, are printed on a ravishing apple red with white Caslon type ($20), while the tees are on a fine azure blue ($28). On a purely personal level, both items are a great reminder in any context that honesty is the best policy. A portion of the sales benefit Free Press, a US-based, non-partisan organization that promotes decentralized broadcasting and works to reform the media.
Available now at Part of It!
Recent Gluekit illustration for the Boston Globe’s story, “The Marathon They Almost Cancelled.” We really loved the way this spread came together, with elements of the illustration used in the layout, thanks to great art direction from the BG’s Josue Evilla.
Speaking of Earth Day and being kind to our environment, here’s a lovely and practical tote designed by Genevieve Guackler. No matter what shape you’re in, or color you’re feeling, this little number will make you feel better. Handy for toting your recyclables, your library books, your water bottle and your munchies, this is a perfect accessory for all seasons.
Available from Part of It, $20.
Design also available on a fetching navy tee, $28.
Gluekit served up some fresh type on the 2008 Members’ Events postcard for the Yale University Art Gallery. We’ve been exploring some new type avenues (fun!) and hope to share the results here. Enjoy!
Wow! We are just so psyched about this!
Nylon Magazine features Part of It’s “Inherit the Wind” tote (designed by Mark Owens, $20.00 from Part of It) in the 2008 April issue. We were excited to be featured alongside designers like Tracy Jenkins of Village, Keren Richter, and the good folks at Loyalty and Blood. So many cool totes, so little time!
Here’s another postcard designed by Gluekit for the Yale University Art Gallery. The extreme simplicity of the hand-made letterforms in the design was meant to convey the simplicity of using the Gallery’s new wiki. There’s also a visual reference to stitching, and handicrafts– a nod towards traditional collective activities like quilting. The colors vary from the Gallery’s typical scheme, because this announcement was hot, hot, hot!

The Yarn Flier was our stab at making a concert poster for a local production company who brings a lot of great shows to our area, including this Owen show. One ball of yarn + one upcoming show + masking tape = hours of Gluekit fun. This was a really neat poster to undertake, and we hoped that perhaps it would inspire further knit graffiti on our part. Not so (at least yet). We did like a number of photographs that we took of the project, so we are sharing both the final product (incorporated into the flier) and some close-ups.
Here’s an Open House postcard that Gluekit created for the Yale University Art Gallery. This particular postcard features the Gallery’s color scheme (beautiful blue, black, and white) and some bold cut paper type. Click here for more Gluekit work for the Gallery. Ahhh yeah!
With Spring on it’s way, it’s time to start making art… (really, it’s always a good time, but there’s plenty of inspiration growing up these days). This great design by Dustin Hostetler (aka UPSO), formerly available only on t-shirts, is now available on beautiful natural tote bags ($20). A portion of the profits from this design is designated for the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo, an awesome arts organization that promotes and supports the arts in Ohio. Totes and tees are both available from the Part of It.
Dustin recently told us that Faesthetic #8 is at the printers. Hey hey hey! That’s totally grand news.
Gluekit is super thrilled that the nice folks at American Way Magazine chose to feature Mike Perry’s “It’s You and Me” shirt from Part of It in a recent column. A portion of the profits from sales of the design are designated for NARSAD, an organization that is focused on finding ways to identify and find treatment for psychiatric disorders. Part of It was one of six initiatives featured, all of which funnel money toward good causes.
