The Typofiles #36: MAC Fashion Week Poster

Posted on October 13th, 2009 by by Nubby

Last month in New York, I came across these MAC Makeup posters that were pasted up around the city for Fashion Week. MAC has always been pretty hip and the use of this ampersand is no exception. You can view all of The Typofiles on Flickr here.

Heartschallenger: Have Treats, Will Travel

Posted on October 1st, 2009 by by Nubby

Last month, I headed over to the Lower East Side for the last ever Ruff Club which was mobbed by the coolest kids in town. At around 2 am, the sea of kids (mostly swathed in layers of black avant garde clothing) parted when a mysterious pink truck complete with hearts and unicorns on its [...]

On September 14th, I caught a cab to the West Village for a meeting that I had been excitedly anticipating for months. Jordan Crane, a Creative Director at the legendary agency Wolff Olins had agreed to let me interview him for my blog. As I made my way into their New York headquarters on Varrick [...]

The Typofiles #34: Absolut NYC Posters

Posted on September 22nd, 2009 by by Nubby

I fell in love with the stunning typography on this Absolut Vodka advertisement that was pasted up around New York City a few weeks ago. I like how the type forms the shape of the bottle; it’s simple yet effective. You can view all of The Typofiles scans on Flickr here.

If You’re Hungry, Stop Reading This: Dean & DeLuca

Posted on September 14th, 2009 by by Nubby

Over the years, I’ve made ten separate trips to New York but I’m embarrassed to say that until this most recent stay, I had never set foot inside of a Dean & DeLuca store. I’d heard people constantly praising the New York locations as if they were a sacred place where one would make a [...]

The Week in Pictures: 9.11.09

Posted on September 11th, 2009 by by Nubby

Fall is in the air (and so is mercury retrograde). Between birthday celebrations, rooftop gatherings, performances in the Thompkins Square Park, dinner at german pubs and Brooklyn diners, freelancing in midtown, midnight photo shoots (with an abundance of sparkles and sequins) and attending Fashion’s Night Out, it’s been an eclectic mix of events this week. [...]

Earlier in the week, Bianca and I made a few stops along Astor Place for some photos. We can never play it safe; she is usually shooting me in the middle of the street while dodging cars. Astor Place has a pretty iconic covered subway stop so we took some shots there as well. I’ve [...]

The Week in Pictures: 9.4.09

Posted on September 4th, 2009 by by Nubby

To say that a lot happened this week is the understatement of the century. On top of the normal curve balls that life sometimes throws, I attended rainy rooftop parties in penthouse apartments, visited the Highline, did some design work for the Wall Street Journal, made a massively long trek by foot to the Financial [...]
