Hand Cut Maps.

Boston

Manhattan

Seattle

One of the personality traits I’m lacking is patience, which instantly fascinated me with Karen O’Leary’s hand cut maps. The precision, the detail, the time commitment. Wow, wow, wow. You can check out the wide range of cities available at her shop and watch as Karen takes you through the entire process on her flickr page.

Field Notes County Fair Edition.

I’ve been a fan of Field Notes since their inception, but their latest limited edition quarterly release – County Fair – is the most thought out to date. Fifty new sets, one for each state, include three memo books. One each in the colors of 1st, 2nd and 3rd place County Fair ribbons; blue, red and yellow. Almanac-inspired facts and figures adorn the backs. Love it.
