Ever wish you could master everything related to digital photography? There is a place for that. This week, the graduating class of the MPS Digital Photography department at the School of Visual Arts will be exhibiting their work in NYC. I am grateful for the opportunity to be involved in the program, and I am […]
Every morning for several months, I get out of the Canal Street 1 stop and I walked past a fenced in area between Canal and Grand. I was curious about what was brewing behind those closed fences but I could never quite get a good look. Then a few weeks ago the fences came down […]
Today is my 1-year anniversary at the Block. It’s also dangerously close to a few Block birthdays. In celebration of these monumentus events, I decided to bake a cake that (kind of) looks like our logo. Also it incorporates our odd love of oranges and it’s sitting on a wood cutting board so we get the wood […]
When faced with the task of finding an image for a comp, I usually head on over to Flickr. The problem is that I inevitably get side-tracked by all the shiny, shiny pictures. So it’s time to focus on specific pools of photos. Today, I came across 2 really great ones, Masters of the Words and Tattoos […]
If you were ever curious about how many haikus you could get written just by offering some free t-shirts… we have the answer. Our tee design weRobot managed to inspire 862 different haikus written about robots on toplessrobot.com. One fellow named Glitchy Goblin actually went out of his way to pen 70 all by himself […]

Just in case you didn’t have enough to do at work today or you are scanning the classifieds in your parent’s basement… we thought we would share some of our connect-the-dots activities with you.
It so hard for Chop Shop to resist pop-culture references. Our best received designs thus far have been our “weRobot” and “rockStar” tees which contain about 80+ pop-icon references just between the two. So when we came across this image by Richard Miske on flickr, it was like the gods sending us a signal. Naturally, […]
The hottest ticket in town this week is the SVA’s Illustration as Visual Essay Thesis Show. We are consistently humbled by one of the most unique visual arts graduate programs in the world. Twenty amazingly talented illustrators, with confident, figurative drawing and painting skills, present their personal visions this week in Chelsea. See you at […]
There is something I just love about Supermarkethq. I would never do anything to hurt Etsy’s feelings, but Supermarkethq is the newest kid on the block and we think its got legs. Big, long, lanky designer legs. One of the best things you can find there are various hand letter-pressed products (L2 Design Collective shown […]
