Everyone spends so much time working during the week that it only makes sense that offices should be a creative extension of the home. I strongly believe that something as small as a new mouse pad can do wonders for reinvigorating your workspace.

Maybe the kerning failure is between the Y and the D to make it two words, as in EVERY DAY.

I have the pencil sharpener desk tidy and I love it! It was not cheap for what it is but it's just sooo pretty and it makes me smile everytime I look at it.

Paper Jam Press
Hi all, Arianna here from Paper Jam Press. Thanks for the comments about my work. As for the kerning, the posters are letterpress printed using wood type. The minimum space between letters is defined by the width of the blocks themselves. No way to kern for those of you who prefer things a little tidier. I myself like to show off the craft with the imperfections. And with regard to the price, $49.99 is for a framed poster. The prints themselves are $29.99.
