I Like Cats and Taylor Swift by Carla Hackett

Water-Based ink on Athletic Grey Tri-Blend American Apparel.

One day, Amy said to me "Maybe I'm sleep-deprived and this isn't as cool or funny as I think it is, but here goes. Our next lettering/letterpress piece should say: I Like Cats and Taylor Swift." We both LOL'ed. It went nuts. We made T-shirts. People wanted to buy those t-shirts and now we've arrived at a moment that all of our hard work as Cat Worshippers and Tay Lovers, has been in preparation for. The moment Amy says a one-liner and I letter the shit out of it, and we break the Internet. Coz we're just saying what y'all are thinking. If you love cats and you love Tay, and guys, we know you do, then you can literally wear it loud and proud on a goddam @cottonbureau t-shirt. They only print it if we sell 12 tees in only 14 days.

Ladies of Letters

Late last year Melbourne based studio buddies, Carla Hackett and Amy Constable, collaborated to produce these wonderful, hand-made ‘Alphabet City’ prints.

Lettered by Carla and hand-printed Amy of the Saint Gertrude press, the aim was to move beyond just running a business together but to play an active part in creating a better world – a percentage of the profit goes to support The Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation whose charter is to raise literacy levels nationally in Australia.

You can still grab your copy from the Ladies of Letters project, the aim is to raise AU$1000, which is enough to set up a community Share-a-Book library.
