I got the call from the folks at Good Magazine to contribute a flag to their “Neighborhood Issue.”

We’re representin’ Roseway, motherfuckers! Sandy and 67th! People washing cars and walking dogs and weird Asian markets and stuff. We’re in those pages, and we’ve got proof!

And man, coming in real tall and lethal, Ben Vickery slays Portland! Ah hell, I just love what he made so much, I’m gonna post it loud and proud. Here goes:

An always kick-butt Mark Weaver went and made one for East Atlanta! Hotlanta! That guy’s got the best initials…M + W! I challenge you to make 1,000 MW logos! Lucky duck.

Just proud as hell to be invited and included. Thanks, guys. Some great flags from a million rippin’ designers in that piece, from the looks of this spread right here. Good stuff, all around! Seriously, like, an honor to be in such a great mag.

THIS ONE GETS MORE AND MORE OFFICIAL BY THE HOUR: I’ll be telling my little story down in Orlando this Friday! The specs for this altercation are on Facebook and everything. Gonna show some work, gonna tell some tall tales, gonna dispense loose advice and, will take questions from brave students. I’ll be drinking fresh-squeezed OJ with each meal. One of many Floridian promises.

I JUST CAN’T TAKE IT: Always With Honor—and all nasty little vectors within their enterprise—go and make an icon set for a little magazine called, “Monocle.” You might’ve heard of it. (Holy hell! Blown away!)
