VisuaLingual

This Saturday, 1 Nov, we will be exhibiting and discussing our work at the Cincinnati Art Museum as part of Family First Saturday, and in conjunction with two just-opened design exhibits [China Design Now and Ryan McGinness: Aesthetic Comfort]. We will be stationed in the 3rd floor contemporary galleries from 1 to 4pm, showing a selection of our Over-the-Rhine-centered work including a couple of brand-new projects. The event is kid-friendly, but grown-ups are welcome, too. Plus, it’s free!

We recently entered the Fourth Annual Fall Colors Contest on Apartment Therapy, and our home has been selected as one of the finalists in our region! Click here to view our entry and to vote [hopefully for us!]. See all the entries here.

Big announcement: our studio is having its first major sale! Now through the end of October, each item in the VisuaLingual Etsy shop is discounted by $10 for a savings of up to 50%. If you’re in the Cincinnati area, contact us to arrange an in-person pick-up. Stay tuned for a whole bunch of new stuff in November!

Alphabet: An Exhibition of Hand-Drawn Lettering and Experimental Typography
Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, IL
Oct-Nov 08

Focusing on an ordinary subject that we see each day, often by the hundreds of thousands, the exhibit Alphabet presents 26 letters as more than just shapes for conveying information. The 51 artists and designers in this show conceive and interpret the alphabet in surprising and inventive ways, ranging from graceful and polished to witty and unconventional. Participants include Michael Stout and his Imageability type family, based on The Image of the City by Kevin Lynch. Alphabet was curated by Post Typography and organized by Artscape.
