Q3 2022 Inspiration Report: To a Brighter Future!
As I prepare to have my first baby, I am focusing on slowing down and being present. I am so excited to meet them and learn all about their personality! - Claudia
The Amsterdam-based studio, Experimental Jetset, created this poncho as “The No-Thing, an all-purpose protest banner” in 2016. Letterform Archive purchased it earlier this year “as part of a fundraiser organized by The European International to support the Kyiv Biennial’s Emergency Support Initiative.”
I just planted peanuts for the first time. This botanical illustration shows their yellow flowers, and weed-like leaves. A lot of goodness happening below the surface where you can’t always see it, a reminder to be patient.
Love the pure joy in this photo, as well as the caption about the friendship between Kendrick Sampson and Darnell Appling. “The laughs. The encouragement. The harassment.” I’m so grateful for my friends. - Emily
Enjoying small pleasures, like trying new coffees from a newer place in my town, Berkley Coffee! You choose your “dose” (see right) and then tell them how you want it made. They also have a full non-alcoholic bar which is truly unique for the area! - Kaitlin
I am apartment hunting and just think this bed is so clever. - Sarah
I am currently looking for my first post-college job and I’m in a transition period where I don’t know what comes next for the first time in a long time. It feels like. These days I have been getting motivation by journaling and writing goals in my planner. - Andrea
Tokyo based illustrator Kento IIDA brings a retro modern approach, informed by traditional Japanese printmaking. Minimal color, maximum impact.
Loving my growing garden and all the fresh meals this summer!
We just commissioned some illustrations from Helvetica Blanc for my portfolio website. Love the high contrast shapes, islamic art elements and faces that weave into their world building. - Emily
I wrapped up a 10-week writing workshop series with chronically ill peers in Europe! I read lots of interesting and relatable pieces from members of the group. We will continue to meet online outside of the course and offer each other feedback. This was my favorite book recommendation from our facilitator. The memoir is called “Tender Points” and the cover is a work of art unto itself.
Absolutely obsessed with the James Webb Space Telescope images. As above, so below! - Joanne
