We reached out to our pal, the multi-talented Jenna Blazevich, proprietor of Vichcraft, to create the art for our 2024 subscription box. Jenna proposed creating a papel picado-style illustration and we loved the idea. She came back with this beautiful, intricate image of a couple folks enjoying Chicago’s greatest asset. – Mar. 21st, 2024

Greetings from the Shores

Like many Field Notes releases, “The Great Lakes” Edition required extensive research, both for the text and the visuals. While searching for vintage Great Lakes ephemera on eBay, Jim came across a few similar colorful postcards printed on linen cardstock. A bit of Googling revealed these collectible “Art-Colortone” cards, produced by Curt Teich and Co., were a goldmine of American history, told with ink and paper… just the sort of thing we get excited about. – Aug. 3rd, 2022

The State of the States

The original launch of “County Fair” was a major investment of time, effort, and money for us. In retrospect, it really set the tone for how ambitious we could be with our Quarterlies, and how important year-long subscriptions would become to the success of Field Notes as an enterprise. For these reasons, this decision was difficult, and one we have delayed for years. – May. 16th, 2022

Back to School

With schools, colleges, and universities planning on having students return to classes and, hopefully, a more normal term in the fall, keep in mind that Field Notes offers bulk pricing for educational institutions. We can also create customized products to include in “Welcome Back” and orientation kits. – Mar. 30th, 2021

Snowmaker

When Jim Coudal messaged me to say he had a crazy idea for the Field Notes Winter edition, wondering if it was possible to make 99,999 unique snowflakes, I immediately said yes. The truth was, I wasn’t sure, but the challenge was too enticing to pass up. – Dec. 2nd, 2020

“What Font is That?”

As we were on press with Field Notes’ National Parks Series E, Jim had the idea to make a water-transfer decal based on park signage, typesetting “America’s Best Idea”—paraphrasing a Wallace Stegner quote — in the rustic script typeface found on such signs. – Aug. 27th, 2020
