Dreaming Of Dexter

Friday, October 8th, 2010

I’m trying really hard not to turn Twig & Thistle into the Ty Mattson Fan Club but the guy isn’t making it easy! Case in point, these Dexter inspired posters are wonderful! Each one is like a delightful season overview with plenty of little details for fans of the show. Check them all out here.



Circus Announcements

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Update: Oops! Added the links!

I am so excited to share today’s post with you. A few months ago, Ty Mattson gave me a sneak peek his son’s birth announcements and I have been giddy with anticipation to post them. Well he finally mailed these out to his lucky friends and family so we can now all appreciate them as well!

Ty used two colors to letterpress these circus themed announcements and the red/blue combination brilliantly overlaps to create the third darker color. Every last detail of this birth announcement is perfection and I can’t imagine a more cheerful design to celebrate the birth of a son. Congratulations to Ty, his wife and their new bundle of joy!

Lost Posters by Ty Mattson

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010


I know Lost started up a couple weeks ago and to be honest I’m not as into it as I used to be, but these posters remind me of all the things that made Lost so great. Designer Ty Mattson has done a wonderful job capturing the spirit of the show, my favorite hands down is the Dharma Van; every time I see it I can’t stop thinking about Hurley bouncing around the island in it. :)

UPDATE: Thanks to a tip from Ty himself, these posters are now available through the store on ABC.com. Thanks Ty!
