15 Matchbooks with Incredible Artworks by Leading Illustrators Article From DigitalArtsOnline.UK

Excellent article from DigitalArtsOnline.UK   
              15 matchbooks with incredible artworks by leading illustrators 

Executive agent at B&A Louisa St. Pierre explains.

"Masterpieces have been created by candlelight; ideas have been shared over a cigarette; phone numbers and information exchanged by scrawling on these portable, multi-purpose notebooks," she says.

This idea runs throughout the book. As described in the intro, B&A is engaged in its "own creative recognition, spreading art like a flame".

The Movie Paterson Featured a Poem About Matches!

The Movie Paterson directed by Jim Jarmusch Features a Love Poem Inspired by Matches! 

In the opening scene in the movie paterson, Adam Driver named Paterson plays a bus driver for the Paterson NJ Transit who breaks up the monotony of his life by writing original poetry based upon observations of the world around him.

The first poem that the film opens with that he writes is a Love Poem inspired by his collection of OHIO BLUE TIP matches (that was originally written in 1979 by the real poet Ron Padgett as a love poem to his wife).

The poem goes into great detail about his collection of household's match boxes,  the construction of the match boxes and their match sticks and focuses intently on the color of  the blue tip (match heads).

I've been a big fan of Jim Jarmusch - IMDb since his first indie film Stranger Than Paradise (1984) and matches have always played a part as a plot device in most of his films!

Mr. Alvin Diec (34) co-owner of Office of Brothers is one of our favorite designers! He and his six person team create some of the most graphically inspired branding for his impressive list of restaurants & restaurant groups that are located primarily in the Atlanta area.

He's a true believer in the power and efficacy of match advertising and makes a point to include an advertising match design in every one of his restaurant or non restaurant corporate branding presentation! The compelling match designs that he and his team create (and that we produce) become instant collectibles! Restaurants and businesses use their matches as a brand extension and as a "Functional Business Card".

Here are some pics of  match books and match boxes that we've produced for Alvin's restaurant clients.
