Empiricist League Searches for E.T.
Our fourth poster for the Empiricist League aims at the stars for the latest in their series of science talks in bars. Now in Brooklyn, one of the epicenters of the science + hipster + nerd + alcohol cultural trend. The Empiricist League events feature expert thinkers in unpretentious, relaxed surroundings. This time, the theme…

Rumors poster

Secret Agent Birthday Party…
My son is a lucky kid. With a graphic design nerd for a father and a talented costume designer for a mother, his birthday parties are ridiculously elaborate, in past years featuring recreations of Mount Olympus, Prince of Persia, and Godzilla-wrecked Tokyo. This year he requested a Secret Agent theme. Here are some of my…
