There’s something about the packaging of Atari-era games that really strikes my design fancy. The minimalistic bit style was both honest and gorgeous.

This poor Peanut has been living in the same mediocrity for decades now. It seems totally unfair. I think its about time Charlie Brown had himself a makeover. Growing up with the Peanuts I have to admit, I grew sick of Brown’s wishy-washy shit. There’s only so much indecisiveness I can take. Maybe a new look can give Charlie a ...

OK, so sue me, it’s not one of those real “hey-look-at-me-I-actually-hold-tea” tea bags. In fact, there’s no tea involved at all. But what does happen is pretty magical, tea-free and all. Dunk the “tea” bag into a mug of water and the magic happens. Glowy, pretty magic. If you like this tea bagging, just wait until later. I’ll show you ...
