Ignaz Semmelweis & Mária Weidenhoffer's wedding portrait

Semmelweis was the first doctor/medical student to discover the relationship germs had to the spread of disease and high mortality rates, especially in obstetrics. he was run out of town and ended up dying from infection related to abuse in a mental asylum, ironically. his work was only taken seriously once louis pasteur wrote his "germ theory of disease." his wedding portrait to maria weidenhoffer is beautiful.

vahalla design studio

some great multi-color concert poster screenprints by the kansas city-based studio Vahalla. multiple designers and great color=gold. you can buy the posters on their website.

the new york adorned website

i have noticed, shopping around for tattoo studios, that many tattoo studio websites are not really well designed and many don't blend tattoo imagery with clean design. the new york adorned website, however, is an exception. the site is so clean and the type the designers used is a blend of beautiful script and clean sans-serif. it makes sense that one of the most well-known studios in new york has a good looking website.

greenwich letterpress

found on print & pattern, the greenwich letterpress is a nyc based letterpress company (i think it might be in the west village on christopher street, which would make sense), but their cards, especially this one in particular, are very rennie mackintosh/vienna succession/arts & crafts movement/art deco.  they also have an etsy shop.

happy holidays!

cat power's album cover

i saw the vinyl cover in a record store window tonight and am considering buying it despite the lack of record player in my house.  the album just came out.
