#1: Creativity

#2: Personal Style

#3: Time Management

#4: Goals & Success

#5: Art Education

#6: Envy/Jealousy

#7: Plagiarism

#8: HELP!

To purchase a copy of the zine or to participate in future issues, please head to our Good to Know page.

Two cool dudes, one sweet love. Her name: Print Brigade. Hand drawn typography is a beautiful thing and Chris Piascik and Vaughn Fender celebrate it in their joint company Print Brigade. PRBR makes tees, totes, and prints for women and men.

I went to art school with these two. Their screen printed and lino cut posters could be found in the class and on dorm room walls. So it’s nice to see that what they loved back then, they are still making now.

The point: all you need is one art friend, encourage each other to create, stick with it, and allow yourself to be wooed by typography from time to time!
