from brooklyn, with love

i designed a set of valentines, woohoo! i was going to put them up for sale online, but then decided that since the economy is in a state of such deep suckage i would spread the love and give them all away for free in order to ensure that people have a little something to give to their friends, enemies, lovers, moms, coworkers, neighbors, secret crushes or total strangers on the subway.

i have scattered 22 packets of cards around town, all hidden within plain sight. if you'd like to go hunting for some, you can use this handy map to guide you. let me know if you find one!

ah the life of a freelance graphic designer! you can check out my design portfolio here if you are interested.

very cool idea, and the heart-shaped pattern in which you have placed the packets, well, it's like a crazy positive spin on that Paul Auster story with that old man who walks around in New York City, his apparent random movements actually spelling out some large meaningful design if viewed from above...

sweet idea. 118 bedford is either found, or in not-so-plain sight :(

sgoralnick says:

it may have been in too-plain-sight! i'm not sure if there's any left but the best bet are the ones on kent and around wythe. i'm pretty sure the bedford ones disappeared around 9am :)
