PROSE OF NO HARM

There is always place for just one more tote bag in our wardrobe, or there will have to be for Raymond Pettibon’s charity design for The New York Public Library.

Back in 2012, we hosted a public viewing when Germany gloriously defeated Greece during the European Football Cup, aided among others by our friend Kohei Ito, who supplied some visuals relating soccer to graphic design.
