A couple of months ago, I saw Fab.com had a discount on subscriptions to HOW Magazine. I’m not sure why I never got this graphic design mag before – oh wait I just glanced at one and the cover price is like $10.95. That explains it.

So this week, I received HOW Magazine’s November 2011 Design Business Annual. And I’m flipping through it nonchalantly as Josh and I are waiting for dinner to cook, and I get to page 100. It’s an article about Etsy, how they operate as a company, and what their home office is like. They had a lovely photo of one area of the office on that first page of the article, and my jaw dropped.

Did you see it? Let’s take a closer look:

I am totally taking up a square centimeter of space in a major graphic design magazine. OH. EM. GEE!!

A couple of years ago, Etsy was moving their digs to a new corporate office. They contacted a handful of artists to create signs for various areas and conference rooms at the new office. Each artist received a name that was one part food and one part band name to work with. I was super excited to have been picked to paint two signs. My rearignments? Soy Division and Oreo Speedwagon:

These were super fun pieces to work on, and I’m honored to have a place on the walls at Etsy. I’m stoked Fab had that subscription discount, too, because if they hadn’t I totally would have missed this!
