   Thar' she brews..! Off to the presses with you!

   A typographic poster, designed on behalf of New York Writes Itself, for the upcoming show "NEW YORK TYPES" @ the Art Directors Club in NYC.

   The poster will be letter-pressed in a limited edition of 10 prints, and on display, along with the work produced by a great group of artists & designers at the ADC Gallery (Dec. 15 - Jan. 6).

   Stay tuned for the actual print > I'll post a shot of it when I get my hands on a proof. In the meanwhile, large preview > ATTACHED

   **To everyone that's been following along with this thing >
   Thanks so much for all the enthusiasm! You guys are great!

   Cheers!!

    Nice! Any specific reason for the Greek-yness of the border and "large"?

    Thanks so much guys!!

    @Dennis - The 'Greek' styling pays homage to the iconic blue & white Anthora coffee cups introduced back in the 1960s. Sadly its designer passed away last year, but there's a great read about the history of the cup > HERE

    So New York. (And I've never been. But I knew about the "Greek" cups that have proliferated NYC for decades.)

    @Brad - Cheers! One of my favorite quotes from that article:
    Without the Anthora, “Law & Order” could scarcely exist.

    Ah right on, I get the reference now. Good read, sad to hear. Been a New Yorker my whole life, but never a coffee drinker...not that there's anything wrong with that.

    Man this is the sickest type design yet! So jealous about it being in a show! Wish I could get a print! Keep it up Mike!
