menu, please

as simple as it is, we've now been asked to create the bar menu at
the william tell saloon in tomales.

no problem.

a little snip here. a little snip there.

viola!

a bar menu.

if you find yourself cruising out along california highway one, stop
in and check out their extra cheesy grilled cheese. it will clog up
your arteries within minutes of looking at it.

how awesome is that?

rain delayed golden slam

rafael nadal was nothing short of spectacular monday evening on
center court of the us open championship in new york.

neither was his opponent, novak djokovic.

amazing strength and quickness displayed by both athletes provided
tennis fans the world over an opportunity to witness a level of play
that was complete and sheer brilliance.

nadal, of course, prevailed to earn a career grand slam and position
himself, with no doubt, to be considered the world's best tennis player.

90210, for real

we were just contacted by one of our early clients out of beverly hills.

sad to hear, but they're closing their doors after 7 years of business
over on wilshire blvd near robertson. (right around the corner from
the ivy.)

It was a pleasure creating a very unique atmosphere for such a
unique business. (a homeopathic pharmacy and herbal tea bar.)

we even designed and built an outdoor herb garden on the rooftop
of the building.

we'll miss, you pharmacie nouvelle.

ice, ice, baby

the work we've been doing with the low post news has taken us
back into the annals of advertising history in order to better serve
the marketing and branding interests of this new venture.

this particular poster used to sit front and center at a locally-owned
sporting goods store in greg's hometown of dubuque, iowa, back in
1979.

like an altar at the end of the main nave, george gervin presided
over the shoe department with god-like status and the grooviest
pair of nikes you could ever imagine.

finger roll?

you know it.

silky smooth slant thru the lane?

ah, yeah.

cool as ice?

no doubt.

tee it up, olde sonoma

the olde sonoma public house is killing it! they have found a very
dedicated and loyal audience over at the foot of the scenic sonoma
valley in boyes hot springs.

they came to us wanting another version of the limited edition tee
shirt we designed back in june, because guess what? they sold out.

everyone LOVED the work.

so we came up with this version by adding griffins, changing the
shield slightly and adding a golden tan to the color scheme.

everyone's going to LOVE it and completely FREAK OUT.

i know we did.

petaluma white trash

chris has become inspired by the trash she passes on regular
walks into the country. expect this to be on ongoing visual
commentary on waste and disregard for our surroundings.

in form3 they trust

some recent guests at the decarli house realized they couldn't
quite live without our plyform stack lounge sofa that sits front
and center in the living room at 421 i street.

after getting back home to san diego, they sent a couple photos
and a few dimensions and prepared themselves for the next phase
of their modern lifestyle.

many thanks to james and gabrielle for trusting in form3 quailty.

you're gonna LOVE your new sofa!
