Wood Fire Woodie Website Design

Posted on November 25, 2008November 25, 2008 by Hijiri

I have been working on Wood Fire Woodie‘s logo, card and website this year and I am proud to announce that the website has been up and running for a while now! It was so fun to work on this project just like their fun concept and unique product.

It is a moving catering truck that is designed after American old Woodies that are often times loved by surfers and have surf board on top of the roof – so you’ll see inspirations throughout the site.

If you are in Bay Area and need fun catering service for your party, check out Wood Fire Woodie!

Pat and Mariah have been so great to work with, thank you and I’m wishing you guys the best!!!

Subway Art: 72nd Street

Posted on November 25, 2008May 25, 2009 by Hijiri

There is not much art in 72nd Street station (B, C) but I saw this arrow and number and caught my eye.

You can see all my Subway Art photos from here.

I’ll be still collecting photos from Subway stations, though, not every station has art… but it’s fun to keep my eyes open for it!

Letterpress Class 7

Posted on November 24, 2008September 24, 2009 by Hijiri

I can’t believe I only have 3 more classes left… I can say that I am more comfortable using Vandercook Press now, from beginning to the end, I can do everything by myself! (well, I’m sure I have a lot to learn still, but I feel like I got the basic of it)

We can now do whatever we want to print, work on our own projects, so I continued printing my holiday card first and some new prints for my shop.

I took wood type blocks and printed “PEACE” on my holiday card — with everything going on in the world, I really wish peace on earth….

Printed on top of my snowflakes linoleum prints from last week:

Printed some more “Live What You Love” in red and blue ï¿½ Thank you, everyone, the green one is sold out!

Available at my Etsy store.

I ordered 100% cotton paper (means tree-free! I’m so excited about that) and so from here on, I am going to try as eco-friendly as possible with my work and store. These new prints are of course printed on tree-free paper and the paper is made for letterpressing so the impression of the print is more awesome than ever!

My Orange Beautiful Purchases

Posted on November 24, 2008January 12, 2010 by Hijiri

I wrote about pre-ordering this calendar from Orange Beautiful before, and it finally came! I also ordered “Get Your Sh*t Together” gocco print because my husband says this phrase a lot (haha) and oh my, do they look awesome! They came in this beautiful orange tissue (just like their name!) and it was so nice to open the box and see the beautiful products!
