    • ]]>     Check out these beautiful and hip city posters from Ork Posters.

    From the founder, Jenny Beorkrem:
    “Ork Posters was born when I embarked on a search for a neighborhood poster that fit my taste for good design and typography, simplicity, and originality. My hunt came up empty. As a result, I designed the original Chicago poster in the summer of 2007 for myself.”

    Here is the original Chicago poster:

    Many other major US cities in a wide array of color palettes are available. There’s Brooklyn:

    The newest thing at Ork is the Heart and Brain posters:

    Too bad there isn’t a Sacramento one! I’d be all over that. Which city do you love the most?

    • ]]>     I can’t remember how I stumbled upon Jessica’s Hische, but ever since I did, I’ve been obsessed with her work and insane talent! She is an Illustrator, Designer and Typographer, and her hand lettering is AMAZING. She recently updated the design of her website, and is now offering some items for sale in her shop!

    Wouldn’t you just die to have one of her Drop Caps posters?

    I think these Mommy Darling and Daddy Dearest prints would be so incredible for a nursery, don’t you?
