Goodbye, Monkey Town

Last night was Monkey Town’s last night.

Double Zeros by Double Triple

nytimes_00s_402

The New York Times published our decade-in-review, a memory chart of the last ten years by category.

People have been writing to us asking for better-than-newsprint prints. So we printed an offest edition with Ideal Graphics here in Brooklyn, our favorite print shop. There is a signed edition of 60, you can get one for $50, and there is a folded, un-numbered open edition that we are getting to anyone who wants one, $10.

Write us at hello@doubletriple.net to request a print.

To give credit where it is due: Art Director Kenneth Munowitz created an amazing photo-based chart of the 1950s for Horizon magazine, a big inspiration. My wife Elizabeth Nottingham, Jenifer Saba of Editor & Pubisher and New York Times magazine writer Andrew Rice pitched in with content ideas.

Hand Silkscreened Pillows

This past weekend, my fiend Ali Azios and I decided to make some hand-crafted holiday gifts. With the designs from my Stripes Prints Series, we printed on some satin and cotton fabric and made these pillows. Took us two days to make eighteen for some very lucky people!

70s Psyche Horror at Monkey Town

For the last year I have been getting deep into late 60s/early 70s horror films, especially those on the small budget psychedelic side. Allow me to share my waste of time with you.

Please join me for 70s Psyche Horror movie night at Monkey Town: Tuesday, November 24, 7:30 pm.

We’ll be showing one my favorites, a stone-cold classic in the genre, Simon, King of the Witches. It’s a not so much a horror film, as a surprisingly well-acted Altman-esque occult dark comedy set in post-Altamont Southern California. Here’s the trailer:

Simon King of Witches

And what a poster! Hope to see you Tuesday. Say hi.

New York Magazine: Cubicle Living

We were asked to contribute a design concept for an article in New York magazine earlier this fall: ideas for living in office space.

http://nymag.com/realestate/vu/2009/09/59254/

___

More repurposed than redesigned, an office space home could feature
➊ a lush garden of office plants rescued from dusty neglect, ➋ a baby
crib handily cribbed from a filing cabinet drawer, ➌ a Post-It Note
decoupage colors a blah cubicle wall, and ➍ a plastic bag chair stuffed
with shredded documents.

Modular cubicle walls allow the home to easily change to fit the
seasons, the residents’ needs or or the sudden urge to build a pillow
fort in the Board Room.

We would would love to actually install a post-it note wall drawing somewhere. Interested? Email us at hello.
