Make dreams come true: support TOOTH!

Dale Flattum has finished his book, TOOTH: The Graphic Design of Dale Flattum! Not an easy task, writing and compiling a book – congrats, friend! Now he needs a little love ‘n support to professionally print and bind this 240 page book that will come with a CD filled with music. That’s right, music!

Dale tells us: “It’s important that this book come with SOUND, since that’s the reason most of this stuff was made. So inside the book will be a CD that includes nearly every band I’ve ever played with; Steel Pole Bath Tub, Milk Cult, Agent Nova, The Nein, and as an added bonus…the unreleased second Novex record!”

This is the real deal, folks, so hop on board.

Snowman Comes Down

After two years of being swamped with work, Steve declared this afternoon that he had a few spare moments to finally take down Snowman, who resides on our front window. The news has hit Lindsay the hardest, as she and Snowman have grown quite fond of one another, sharing such close quarters these past four months. In a moment of vulnerability, she admitted to us that she often would imagine Snowman giving her a cheeky wink as she left the office each day, as if to say “See you tomorrow, old friend.” (Probably good we took him down.)

Well. We’ll be seeing you, old friend. Fare thee well.

Welcome to Dotopia

Hey, check out the work we did for Dotopia! Their site just launched and Spunk whipped up the animated video (watch out for the flying pens). We were happy to work with our friends at Complete Design Studio, who are behind the overall site design. Look around while you’re there, too. Dotopia is a great new organization all about empowering people “to make a good world better.”

Who Grows Your Breakfast?

Principle Six, a food movement that wants you to consider who’s behind the food that ends up on your plate. Through materials like this P6 Breakfast poster, Spunk Design Machine is working to change the way we look at our meals – turning it into a celebration of the people and efforts it takes to bring it to your door and moving toward a more equatable food system.
