Paper Root 2008 Winter/Holiday Collection!

My St. Augustinian pals Paper Root just dropped the first delivery of their 2008 Winer/Holiday line. My boy Greg let me run wild on a few pieces in this line.

Check out the rest of their line and treat yourself to some well-priced goodness.

Super Hint: There’s even more secret YASLY jams dropping on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving! Keep checking back for the details.


Art Show This Friday!

If you’re in the area, come out for a fun jam! Big ups to my pal Russ for putting this thing on — full details here.


Make Your Own Book!

Australia’s talented David Foster has put together a step-by-step tutorial on making your own book. Dave’s guide is more in-depth than you’d expect — proper binding, sewing, finishing and even embossing techniques are covered! Sweet!

Check out Dave’s Book Tutorial!


Winner!

Earlier this month, we submitted our “Poison Arrow” deck for the BOOOOOOOM Project 4 Contest. I just got the email from Jeff that our deck won 1st prize!

We’re super flattered. Huge thanks to everyone that voted!

Check it out!


YASLY Threadless Select Tee!

Our Threadless Select Tee “The Discovery of Geometry” has just dropped. Front print + back print + gold foil + impossible triangles, circles and other rad shapes charting the early discovery of geometry and mathematics.

Enjoy more fine tees by the catalog of amazing artists at Threadless Select.


Pantone Mugs!

Pantone® and your classic white coffee mug got together and had all these babies*! Won’t you give one a home?

*Good grief — they look so good on those white saucers!


Smilecup!

SmileCup — is exactly what I’d be if I were a coffee mug/cup. The colors are playful/fun yet classy and the concept behind them has just the right amount of irreverence without being overboard.

I’m partial to the green or yellow color-ways because they’d match our other kitchen stuff so well.

Super smart Psyho!


Reduce Your Carbon Footprint w/ The Cartrider And Pick Up Some Soy Milk While You’re Out!

Cartrider is a fun project by Korean designer Jaebeom Jeong. I know when you were a kid you dreamed of this — now it could soon be a reality!

Start saving up (or get ready to trade in your fixed gear) for this childhood fantasy. Awesome!

Coffin Couches — Is That Death Under My Cushion?

Coffin Couches — just in time for Halloween each couch will run you around $3,500.

We have the mindset of thinking “Green” and we know it is different but we strongly believe in recycling. Our niche happens to be 18 gauge steel coffins which we collected from local funeral homes primarily in Southern California. It is a health and safety law that funeral homes cannot resell used coffins to the general public. We approached funeral directors with the attitude of recycling. These coffins are not used for burial due to slight cosmetic inconsistencies. They are reconfigured and modified resulting in a finished product - a unique one a kind coffin couch.

Wow, I love the internets.


Dear ROSA LOVES, Thanks For All The Memories!

Much love to Fretto + Greg @ PaperRoot (AKA Screen Printing Machine!) + Nick (Sweet Dreamz Sir) + SUNBEARS + everyone who grabbed our 2 custom YASLY tee designs + the rest of the ROSA LOVES Crew — we had a blast jamming with you guys in St. Augustine!
