Just a quick mention- On Monday, Feb. 22nd, in Chicago, my ALSO partners Jenny Volvovski and Matt Lamothe will be giving a talk about our work at the Apple store on North Michigan Ave at 7pm. It’s part of the Art Director’s Club speaker series and should be a real treat. Find out more info so you can attend here.

It feels like there are a huge handful of pattern design books coming out right now, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Similar to the book I shared last week, this book is small and thick, but this book displays more than 700 designs. The patterns are from designers from around the world who are labeled both on their pattern and in an index in the back. The images show the flat design and often it’s application, whether it’s wallpaper, pillows, apparel etc. The selection of designs seems fresh and edgy. There’s a lot of stuff in here that I feel like I haven’t seen before. I’m happy to have a bunch of my own designs featured as well. You can buy this book here or here.
