Book By Its Cover

5.4.09
Mike Perry

Tonight there will be another screening of Design by the Book at the Brooklyn film festival Scene: Brooklyn. If you missed the first screening party at the NYPL you should come tonight! It’s at Galapagos in Dumbo at 9. Both Mike Perry and I will be answering questions on a panel along with Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge, James Murdock and Amy Azzarito who produced the documentary. For more info go here.

In honor of tonight’s events I thought I’d share one of Mike Perry’s newest ventures- a pad of iron ons for fabric transfers. How neat that you can tear out a page and iron his drawings onto your favorite t-shirt? He’s really made them customizable by including a couple alphabets so you can spell out whatever you want in his awesome hand lettering. There’s lots of crazy graphics too like an igloo wearing socks, trees riding skateboards and rainbow smiley faces. Plus lots of sparkling diamonds, patterned word bubbles and city names so you can “represent”. Pick up one here and come tonight to see Mike and me!
