There goes 5 month’s worth of Spunk Compost (lots of coffee grounds!), on its way to Jeff’s new boulevard garden of corn, sunflowers, and beans. We call this the circle of life, my friends. The circle of life!

Thanks to these U of M Duluth design students for making the trek down to visit our studio! We had fun, hope you all did too.

 

Look how happy Mayor R.T. Rybak is! Well, that’s because he (cherrys) MPLS by lovin’ on local companies like Peace Coffee, Birchwood Cafe and Dero Bike Racks!

You (cherry) MPLS too? Show the love like R.T.!

Well, we’ve had quite the number of Artisan Activists trickling into our studio over the past week to drop off their posters for the Artisan Activist Poster Show. Thanks to everyone for making the trek, it’s been fun to be the drop-off spot! Also tickling our fancy: the paperless posters Craig installed at the Aveda Institute shown above.

So go check out the environmentally-minded posters, paper and paperless alike!

Artisan Activist Poster Show
Fri, April 22 / 7-10pm / Aveda Institute

Half of the profits will go to the Audubon Mississippi Project, and the other half will go to the poster artists.

Look, behold: Artifact Shore‘s new EP “Busted Up”! It features 2 new songs “Busted Up” and “End of Light” along with remixes of “indierockselfslayer” by BNLX and “Charmed Sight” by Jon Boorman. The EP will be available for free download from Artifact Shore’s website and their Bandcamp site on May 3rd.

Maybe Spring has slighted us – shedding snow on our tulips and forcing us back into coats to fight off the chill. But you know who hasn’t slighted us? The pastry-and-donut gods! They rarely fail to deliver, and this gray Monday morning is no exception. Special thanks to 3 Tiers and our pals Diane and Heidi at AIGA Minnesota for the delicious treats. Yummmm.

After two years aboard the Spunk Design Machine, Luke is now embarking on a new adventure over at TWIN SIX in Uptown. He’ll certainly be missed (particularly at lunch time), but we’re all pretty excited for him. Join us in saying Congrats Luke!

And really, no one can pull off a banana suit quite like he can, right?

Check out this rad poster that our good friend Peet Fetsch designed and our very own Lucas Richards printed. Go St. Paul!
