Hey folks. Anybody who reads this blog probably already knows what the Gibsons have been up to this year, but in case anyone out there is interested, here is the Gibson 08 Holiday Newsletter that will bring you up to speed. Click the image above for a larger view. Merry Christmas everybody.
This may become a little running series, but I wish I'd thought of this. I saw this card online today and it literally made me laugh out loud. The copy is so simple, but so perfect. This is my style of humor, and how can you deny the awesomeness of letterpress. Check 'em out.

I'm not sure how I haven't posted this yet. Actually, it may be because I'm forgetful and lazy.
But anyway, my pal, and go-to guru for all things Flash, Jason Lefton at GYLo has launched a new site. This cat knows his way around Flash, so be sure to check out his work, especially the site he did for the movie Border Town, which was honored with the Adobe Site of the Day on Nov. 24.

The guys at PharrOut unveiled the new RVANews this past Monday. I had the opportunity to work with them on the redesign and I think it turned out pretty nice, if I do say so myself.

Note my tie. This marks the first occasion since I decided to make the Half Windsor my tie tying method of choice. It beats the crap out of the Four in Hand knot that I used to do.
Anyway, we drank, ate, toured the Wickam house, and even learned a little bit of Valentine family history. For instance, did you know that the Valentine family made their fortune by selling…
Meat Juice!?
It was supposedly a health tonic made from pure beef juice. I’ve heard they just pressed carcasses and bottled the juice that came out, but I didn’t see anything online to substantiate that (but I didn’t look very hard). Although, there's probably only so many ways to make Meat Juice. But check out the sweet old bottle and label design:
But it was a fun night and I actually learned something. Plus, now I know what to get everybody for stocking stuffers.
