Eat out...
Another fun reworking of a TONY cover. Which may or may not be about food. This diving character came out of a random visit to a midtown Manhattan tchotchke shop. Even though the shaker base fits perfectly, I’m not sure it’s an award people would be proud to display…

I love it when another city’s Time Out uses a TONY concept. This is one of my favorites.

the HUGE world of typography
I’m amazed that the number of available fonts has tripled in the past seven years. You’d think I’d have found more than two or three new ones that I love. http://www.colourlovers.com/web/blog/2012/02/16/bold-justified-the-huge-world-of-typography-infographic

Been there...
I just saw this WIRED UK cover and it reminded me of a TONY cover from 2010. Although I think he was worth a bit less back in the day.

David Carson's TONY covers
A few months back, David Carson did some cover designs for TONY. Here are several of the versions he worked up. It was for a BEST OF NYC issue. Sadly, because of the rushed deadlines, we weren’t able to run one. Which is your favorite?

Brillo bonanza
Over the past few weeks I’ve seen a curious number of designs based on the same Brillo soapbox. A new trend in cleanliness or a surge in Warhol?
