Happy Halloween!

It's that time of year! Halloween was always a fun holiday in my family—we worked together to create the scariest house in the neighborhood! To bring back some of those old childhood memories, here's a montage of some Halloween-inspired graphic design to get you in the spirit for this weekend!

 
Plus, I just couldn't resist sharing these amazing pumpkin designs! I wish everyone a safe, fun, and, oh yes, super scary Halloween. Mwah-ha-ha-ha!
 

Cool Finds: Wall Decor

So, in-between client design work, I've been researching ways to spruce up the Kalico office a bit.

Walls Painted…check.
Shelving Up…check.
A few new pieces of furniture…check.

Now what I need are some cool things to hang on the walls. Yes, I may end up hanging some of my own design work, but let's face it, I stare at my own designs all day! I want some fresh, fun and creative pieces to decorate the wall space. Here's a few samples of some of my finds—which one is your favorite?

I am happy to announce that Kalico Design was recently awarded two Creativity International Print Awards for our work! The beer label designed for Downtown Frederick Partnership's 20th Anniversary special brew, Opera House (by Brewers Alley!) was awarded a Silver Award and the logo design for Luna Soma Jiva (a women's retreat center in Hagerstown, MD) was awarded an Honorable Mention Award.
