It's hard to ignore a big box filled with packing peanuts protecting a multi-layered bubble wrapped bottle... with a note curled up inside ever so meticulously. Not to mention the fact that it says SEND HELP largely across its label...

So, WHAT is it? Well for close ups of the awesome invitation, check out the next page... and for more information on this upcoming collaborative art show this weekend, see The Send Help Project! Hosted by CreativeLab it will be in Brooklyn on March 28th (this saturday! one night only!). Artists will be exploring the theme of "SEND HELP" through various forms and mediums. Pics of the behind the scenes setting up the show, and even packing up these bottles are all on their blog... and for some fun closeups of mine, check out the next page!

I love it when you're excited about an event, but then the physical invite comes... and its JUST as fun - to the point where you want to pop it into a frame even! I've been pretty giddy about the idea of DWR branching into smaller gift/products, which they are appropriately calling "Tools For Living". The Santa Monica store is opening October 2nd ~ and i can't wait for the opening! Also, i think we can all agree that this will probably be a hit for holiday shopping -

The DWR: Tools for Living store is adjacent to Santa Monica's DWR Studio, on the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and 4th Street, where Route 66 meets the ocean. Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade is one of Southern California's most bustling districts, the ideal setting for DWR's first cash-and-carry concept. You'll find well-designed items for travel, work, kitchen, outdoor and more. Plus, with free, custom gift wrapping, DWR: Tool for Living is the area's best bet for the ideal gift for anyone who is design obsessed. Robert Rodriguez runs the store with his friendly staff.

So more to come on the launch... but for now, check out the full invite design on the next page! Love the silhouettes - black and the one red on a nice hefty cardboard...

Invitation design ~ just recieved this invite from our friends at Radar of Tiny Pictures, and they never cease with the tiny jokes... this one really made me feel like an old lady. That is some of the smallest type ever! Adorable that it came with a magnifying glass perfectly aligned on the card. The private (with public sharing allowed) mobile photo site sent this invite for their Might (Tiny) Radar Party! Which will be taking place at the end of the month... so keep an eye out for more info on the public party in SF if you're an avid Radar user. If you're not, well maybe you should be. It's a nice anti-facebook solution for all those pictures you don't want EVERYONE to see, but just a few super special friends. See more pics on the next page!!!
