This Is Not About (heart)

Apparently... It's kind of though. It's certainly about sharing. Dan writes:

i don't actually heart papyrus... but i had just seen your site about five minutes prior to spying this truck on 38th btwn 5th & 6th in manhattan.

We did this one a ways back, and I had heard they had their fruit-wagons all gussied up with Papyrus on it. Way to stay on brand, Edible Arrangements. And thanks so much for sending, Dan!

Two Good Reasons To Get a Tattoo

One, they use Papyrus on the flyer, and two, it's buy one get one free!



So, if I get a huge naked lady on my back, do I have to get the same huge naked lady on my chest or can it be a huge naked man? What if the naked lady/man had a tattoo too? A tattoo on a tattoo. They could have a heart with "PAPYRUS" in it on each shoulder or right above the crack of their tattoo asses!

How Can My Heart Not Soar?

Here is a new one...FULL page ad in Adore Shop magazine this month with HUGE 1 inch papyrus GLOW.

Thought I'd share....

I don't know what's hotter... this:



or this:

AND since I've had papyrus stuck in my head....who you...no couldn't be your fault.... throwing off not so subliminal messages....my summer ads are in...Papyrus...

Thanks for sending, Amy!

So I Was Feeling Extra Gay

So, I was feeling extra gay. I decided to buy some flowers and a hanging planter for the patio. This was waiting in the garden section of Home Depot:



There was a ton more- a regular hoot'nanny of Papyrus inside. I'll be sharing that soon. It's honestly a Papyrus blowout, so check back in a minute.

Can't Stop the Rockin'

Charles was kind enough to send this along:

I saw an ad for this on the Food Network:

www.olivegardenitalysweeps.com

It looked better in the actual TV ad though. "Culinary Institute of Tuscany" is positively BEAUTIFUL in two-inch Papyrus!

Unlimited breadsticks, salad, and awesome. Thanks Charles!

Practically Nike

I mean... really, it's like the Nike swoosh with Papyrus. Which, in theory, makes this logo better than the Nike Logo:



So those are some condos that are being sold off the square in downtown Marietta. The logo came off of their website.

But it just got me thinking...



Holy crap... My mind just got blown clear out.

Quality Fonts, Closeout Prices

Big Lots is awesome. It's the only place you can you can get gloves, panty hose, and a chainsaw for less than $20 bucks. Top that off with some Papyrus, and I'd like to see someone try to pull me away (especially now that I have a chainsaw).



Chocolate syrup just got a lot more delicious. But the only thing more delicious is...



Yes. White Chocolate Syrup. It took a lot of will power to not buy that and guzzle it down. Across the aisle- I mean directly facing the syrup, was this:



Ahhh. Savings.

Drinking While Designing

Kristen sends this:

A fine art printer, no less!

Choosing Papyrus is easy and all the liquor in the world couldn't keep me from knowing typographic right and wrong. But the way the content on this page centers while the header and footer align to the left are revelatory of the dangers of getting behing the keyboard and making websites after a night/day/morning of heavy drinking.



I GOT BLISTERS ON ME FINGERS.

Thanks Kristen.

Body Wellness is Going to Die if it's Insatiable Hunger for More Papyrus is Not Quenched

Papyrus likes to hang out with that Hurculean font or whatever it's called. It's not bad, but I think Hurculean is a bad influence. It's a gateway font. Jeremy took the time to send this:

Dig the site...you should also start an "i heart rosewood" site, or brush script.

Anyway, here's a submission:

Thanks for sending that Jeremy!

Fat, Sweaty, Child Molesters Cannot Escape Papyrus

Well, that's harsh. Not all comic book fans are fat and sweaty. The point is, they need Papyrus too. Brandon sent this:

Here's that opening page of the comic book I was telling you about. It's issue #1 of Moon Knight Series 2 (I think). It's a Marvel comic originally from the mid 80's.

Aftor expertly laboring over the writing and drawing of a comic book, I bet it's nice to know that Papyrus will be waiting to make the promotion of said comic simple. Oh how we (heart).

Went to Borders

Good ol' Kenny knows when to hold, fold, walk away, and use Papyrus.



He's brooding. It's a new Kenny. And, here's a new Sandra!



Wow. Big signs call for big Papyrus. It's tough to see it back there in the flap of the case, but here on the actual album, Papyrus plays second fiddle:



She was just using you Papyrus! Our love is real!

Nacho Crotcho!

This was me in— well... from 1997 'til like, last year, this was me online:



I used Napster and Hotline and a rad little app for the mac, Carracho. It used to be a file-sharing mecca but it's been kinda puttering out. I fired it up the other day after having not used it in what feels like forever, and one of the first servers had this as their banner:



Carracho may die, but Papyrus never will.

Papyrus, Unlike Health Food, Will Not Give You Gas

So a trip to the Sevananda health food store in Little Five Points will be a treat for your whole body- yoga for the mind and body, natural food selections for nutritional health, and Papyrus as a treat for the eyes and catylist for universal harmony.



It's on a few of the bulk food bins and let me say, I have never before in my life, wanted a gargantuan sack of nuts any more than I did when I saw those.

Fabulicious.

Dogwood/Papyrus Festival

Okay, so the Dogwwod Festival was a couple weeks back, but like I mentioned in an earlier post, I am a tad behind.

It's okay, you know... being the ass of a man named Tad. No. I'm my own ass. A crap vigilante. What the...

Nevermind all that... I apologize for the fuzzy pics, but (there it is again) these are among the least blurry of my camera phone's bunch:













The pictures are a bit blurry. What's perfectly clear however, is the Dogwoods, and Papyrus were out in full bloom.

When Tad is bad, it's me who's spanked.

Speakin' of Annoying Music

I went to Criminal Records to see if they had the latest Bee Gees 8-track. Sadly no, but this caught my eye:



It's a little blurry but I assure you, it's the real deal. It's on the website too. I feel obligated to warn you however, that as it treats your eyes to Papyrus in all of its glory, it poisons your ears with the most awful metal music.



Is that a Papyrus "I" on it's side as the underline? Fancy.

Mac + Boring = Awesome

Often a trendsetter, Apple latches onto a trend and slapped the oh so essential Papyrus onto the consistently unessential Jack Johnson exclusives. Ty writes:

Long considered champions of design, Apple has apparently made a Papyrian slip.

Thank you for sending, Ty... Ty does great work. Just the crop on this screenshot is great.

Papyrus on Prime Time

No No No... The Papyrus Blowout Has not Ended

It's certainly still rampant, and I have a ton of stuff to prove it. I apologize to any of you who have experienced withdrawals but I am back online and ready to profess my (heart). What better way than to show you a bit of Papyrus on the sometimes frustrating, usually fun TV show on ABC, LOST...



That's the flyer for the healer that Bernard wanted to have Rose see in an attempt to cure her cancer. The healer couldn't do it, but the island jungle did. It's the gibbons.



Gibbons are cancer's answer.

Suck My Gatorade

I am a mountain biker, a runner, and a heavy drinker. And these three things share something critical in common- The need to rehydrate. You need the electrolytes and the like. You want to believe every beverage commercial you ever saw and none seem to be more effective than the Gatorade ads. It is also entirely delicious.

However, when I saw a headline off of Fazed about the "Gatorade Conspiracy", I had no idea I was in for this.



It sort of gets to the bottom of my compulsory desire to drench my face and chest with Propel.

Yoga Demands More Papyrus!

I was without camera when I saw a yoga Papyrus thing just yesterday, but Amy was kind enough to send this along:

I'm researching magazine ads for myself and it is everywhere. Didn't know if you had this one already.

It's on the cover of the magazine! It's on the site! It's on brand! Thanks Amy. I didn't have that one yet but who could forget Sri Sri?

Hot Papy on Papy Action!

So it had to happen. It had to be out there somewhere. Thanks to Holly, of Holly's Plate, we can all experience what is by all intents and purposes, the most practical application of the Papyritical typeface:



Freakin' awesome!

Plus, Holly spotted the Audiotechnica revolution in one one of my earlier posts. Better than that though, she spotted it at night, making this the first use of Papyrus we've seen in neon:



Ba'DOW!

Thanks Holly! And for those of us who believe a long shelf full of beer cans makes for excellent decor, and throw pillows is for the weak, take a look at Holly's Plate.

Apple's Advanced Typography Booklet

Psachyah found another great example:

Included is a page from Apple's "Advanced Typography" Booklet.

Of course, the only measure of advanced typography is how well it handles Papyrus. Papyrus small caps, swashes and Advanced typography of all sorts. Good work apple.

I only wish they had not tucked away their gem under that zapf font, but I guess they where going for understated simplicity.

They're good at that.

Papyrus's Slutty Side

It's all kind of slutty I guess, and this could also be "Psychic side". At any rate, Amy writes:

LOL...now I can't stop seeing it...I'm dreaming about it now too...thought this one was fun...

Unfortunately there isn't a SPOT of papyrus on her website...

Man, that website is rockin' bad-ass. Fortunately or unfortunately, I don't need a psychic to tell me what I love.

Thanks Amy!
