Places on Earth.

Growing up my aunt and uncle had a large 4×3′ map hanging on the wall where they would mark spots they’d visited with push pins and I’ve always loved the idea. So for the past few years I’ve been on the lookout for the perfect map on which to chart my own journeys.

And I think I’ve just found it. The Places on Earth screen print. The entire map of the world is hand drawn by artist Oliver Jeffers and comes signed with 202 pins in a tin, 4 bulldog clips and nails for hanging. 200 pins are black, one is red and one is blue. Red is for marking your headquarters and blue is for your next target. Love. {via unruly things}

The List.

Sad I didn’t see The List before it Sold Out. A poster created out of the massive amount of bands fronting the word The in their names.

Win It: The Storyboard Book.


When I worked in advertising I would have killed for something as clever as The Storyboard Book. The concept is simple: a frame for the action and and space for whatever notes you have to go along with it. Take notes, make a list, write a movie, whatever. It’s also perfectly pocket-sized so you can take it anywhere. And this week we’re giving away a 3-pack to one reader.

To Enter, Tell Me:
1. Who would play you in the movie of your life?
2. Leave a valid email address (For notification if you win! Sadly, those who do not will be disqualified.)
3. Do it all before Monday, February 15th at 9am CST
