One new idea for every day in 2011. We’re talking big, small, local, international, in action, and on the drawing board. Here’s today’s — what’s yours?
Like a true Phoenician, Nancy Hill is sick of the heat. And like a true creative, she’s taking it out on her letterpress and a few coasters.
Hill owns Hazel and Violet INK in downtown Phoenix. During a busy First Friday, she was pumping out her coasters, aptly printed “HOT AS HELL”.
Yes, it’s been a record summer for blazing temperatures (as well as humidity and a few memorable haboobs). And yes, a ton of Downtown businesses and studios, including Hill’s, Phoenix are equipped with a/c units and or swamp coolers that don’t quite cut it when it’s more than 110 degrees on a Friday afternoon.
When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Instead of complaining, Hill laid out her message in a bold typeface, slathered the ink, and started printing.
You can check out the coasters and more of Hill’s work at Hazel and Violet, 714 N. Fourth St. in Phoenix or on the studio’s website.
