Eric over at idrawallday.com has some really great posters for sale. The one shown above is especially interesting to me.

About the poster series:

I was recently diagnosed with cancer and have begun down the treatment road. I have learned to saturate each moment in front of me with all of my energy, as well as many other tremendous lessons. I decided to create a poster series with some quotes that have driven close to my spirit throughout this whole ordeal. Proceeds from the sale of these posters will be donated towards the Live Strong Foundation. Please purchase one, or three, and spread words of hope and inspiration. They are 11″× 17″ and printed on a nice recycled matte paper.

— Eric


Purchase here. I know i’m copping one.

Experiencing good typography is like walking into a well-lit room. You may not stop to analyze it, but good lighting makes you feel better, and if it makes a sudden change for the worse, you will know it.
— Ellen Lupton, curator of contemporary design, Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum

I couldn’t agree more.

Simple and straight to the point. There’s another here.

Print Liberation seems like a pretty dope co. They’re work screams vintage printing press/by hand process, which I LOVE. They also have tons of really nice typography as well. Check 1, Check 2.
