Cooper Black Italic.

Cooper Black Italic...that's my type!

 Emotional, assertive, progressive, relaxed

Designed by Oswald Bruce Cooper in 1921 and released by the Barnhart Brothers & Spindler type foundry in 1922 Cooper Black is a heavily weighted, old style serif typeface. The typeface is drawn as an extra bold weight of Cooper Old Style. Though not based on a single historic model, Cooper Black exhibits influences of Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and the Machine Age. Cooper Black was a predominant lettering style popularized by Oswald Bruce Cooper in Chicago and the Midwest of America in the 1920s, given typographic form. An earlier weight of Cooper's type designs, Cooper Old Style (later just "Cooper") was released first, though Cooper Black was what BB&S foundry was after. Cooper Black was advertised as being "for far-sighted printers with near-sighted customers", as well as "the Black Menace" by detractors. Source: Wikipedia

Winter ode to spring.

Not another love song but an ode...to spring

(Source: Anthropologie.com, The New Nautical)

with all this snow in sight,
Oh how I'm dreaming of that day,
so far away but so near,
where I will be by the water once again...
catching sum rays enjoying the spring breeze,
laughing and playing with my little busy bee. 

Give Us Free.

Snowmagged 2010 - My backyard

The view from my kitchen window. 

It's like I'm Kunta Kinte and I want to holler out, "Give Us Free!" 

(I know that was bad, but who cares, I want out of this house)

Is anyone over the snow yet?
