This great book just came out which uses Kirimomi Swash Italic for the cover and display titling.

Scratching the Tiger’s Belly is published by Eberhardt Press, one of our favorite printing companies and publishers, situated in lovely Portland, Oregon!

Speaking of Portland, we are pleased to announce that Ian Lynam Design is one of the sponsors for this year’s TypeCon, America’s biggest and most fun typography and type design conference. The conference will be help in Portland from August 21st to 25th this year. With luck, we’ll see you there!

We just finished up a hybrid poster/publication for SideCore, a series of fine art exhibitions curated by Egaitsu Hiroshi for Young Art Taipei, on sale at the festival now.

Also hot off the press is a redux of an old poster for KnowYourCity and the Portland Art Museum.

We just launched the new website for The Vine, a Tokyo-based wine importer and distributor. No mere website, The Vine’s new system is bilingual, handles inventory, shipping, ordering, invoicing and a ton of other fancy stuff under the hood!

More projects for The Vine are underway and will be appearing on shelves of Japan’s finest wine shops shortly!

Finally, I will be speaking at PechaKucha Night Tokyo next week. Details here! I’ll be speaking about design education now. Like, right now. (I’m also going to be doing my usual schtick of giving away a ton of free stuff.)
