When you run a printing shop, you have a lot of paper.
And if you are Hello!Lucky, you also have beautifully amazing old printing presses that are probably heavier than a car!

We have recently had the wonderful opportunity of working with Hello!Lucky to make different paper storage elements for their new office in downtown San Francisco.
And of course, a print shop this cool cannot just have any old storage units to house their mass amounts of paper, cards and stationary..... they must have beautiful storage.
And thus we were put to the test.

A local artist and good friend of ours has been collecting our scrap wood from various projects for about a year.
We recently went to his place to check out his work, and what he has created is fantastic.

Philo is an assemblage artist that works with found objects and gives them wonderful new life.
He currently resides in San Jose, CA, and we highly recommend viewing his website.

Well, as you probably heard, Maker Faire was a smash hit and bigger than ever this year!
We had a blast participating and seeing what everyone brought to the Faire... though we had little time to wander while manning our booth and making sure ArtGolf wasn't completely destroyed by the thousands of 4-year olds that trampled through it.

Hey everybody!
Start getting ready for Maker Faire. It's steadily approaching, coming in on May 3rd & 4th (the first weekend in May).

We will be presenting there with some fancy new stuff to show off... as well as our Austin Maker Faire ART GOLF!
Art Golf will be on display on the main green and playable the entire weekend... and into the night!

It's a fun adventure packed miniature golf course - composed of only three holes as to not bore the attention deficit personalities of all Maker Faire attendees.

Come play!
And if you are really into it, but have no money, contact us and we'll get you a ticket if you help run the golf course. No kiddin!
