Why have our launch party on Friday the 13th you ask? There's nothing wrong with putting yourself in harm's way occasionally - it makes things far more exciting! With lost sleep, stress induced bloody noses, broken bones - we've had all that and more before today! What else could possibly go wrong? WAIT! OUR COVER LOOKS LIKE WHAT?! You see, just another false alarm. To keep up our winning brave streak we decided a day which is all about fears and superstitions would be the perfect day to bust out. We can't wait to share all we've learned with you tonight.

COOL LINK
jeremyville.com
This Australian designer, illustrator, and product designer straddles the line between urban decay and super-kawaii. Jeremyville's work blurs the distinction between cute and sinister. His new monograph, Jeremyville Collections, is quickly becoming a staple of postmodern design.
