This young girl wears a Norwegian bunad, clothing based on traditional folk costume with a history dating back to the 18th century. It's common custom in Norwegian-American culture to wear bunad for holidays and special occasions. 

The Sons of Norway Lodge from Islip, NY marches in the parade. Membership lodges for Norwegian Americans from all over the northeast march in the parade, some with distinct floats or banners. 

"Gratulerer med dagen" is the greeting exchanged on Norwegian National Day. It translates to "congratulations with the day." This greeting is also traditionally exchanged on birthdays and new year's eve.

Anselm passing out screen print posters he’s made. Once TypeThursday was hosted at Type Director’s Club, a projector became the dominant form of showing work and hard copies were less frequently presented.

Karolina shows sculpting tools she uses in her process, April 2016.

Anselm goes through his flat files for paper to print on. He keeps much of his archive in these files, over which are his turntables, speakers, and records. He custom built these shelves to suit the space.

Anselm gets the lightbox, normally stored above the closet in the bedroom/office. He uses Japanese tatami mats on the bed frame, and the mattress pad and bedding are rolled up and stored in the closet each morning.

A blue storage bin doubles as a washing station, set up on the sink where Anselm has custom fit a rubber hose to fill it. He is in the back, getting supplies stored in a nook above his daughter’s room.

Ida helps Anselm line up the transparencies that he will use to print. This design has several layers of ink and in order to line up, they must match as a whole piece, like a puzzle.

The aligned transparencies are ready to be printed on the lightbox. Surfie the cat looks on from the sofa.

These transparencies feature Japanese typography. Anselm has several language books due to his frequent visits to Japan with his partner and their daughter.

The “ruffled chips” silkscreen in progress. Anselm wipes off excess ink off of the printing screen.

The finished versions “ruffled chips” and the Japanese language typography silkscreens near Anselm’s music station. A stack of library books waiting to be returned stands to the left.

Anselm washes ink off of the Japanese language typography screen. The kitchen is very organized with everything stored or hung in place. Pans and a cutting board can be seen around the sink.

Paper patterns that Karolina used to trace commas and quotation marks sit above the clay pieces. These will become plates that will be glazed solid black. Sculpting tools and stoneware clay are on the work table.

The quotation and comma plates at the next stage, with edges applied to each plate.

Karolina turns the wheel on a press that flattens a slab of stoneware clay to a certain thickness.

Karolina checks the thickness of the slab as she uses a scraper to smooth the surface.

This slab turned out too thin to use in her quotes and commas plates, so Karolina tears it up to reshape it and use it to make a mug.

Clay is rolled into a long round strip that Karolina will use to make a round cylindrical coil, this is the body of the mug.

Building up the coil on the mug base. She smooths the inside and outside as she goes to create a clean surface.

Karolina uses her finger to smooth slip onto the wet clay mug body. A gelato container full of slip (a mixture of clay and water) and a spray bottle of water to help join and bind sections of clay and evenly smooth over sections.

Karolina has applied strips of clay to create a 3-D relief-like effect for the lettering on this mug. It will say “Nasty Woman;” a term that was used by Trump to describe Hillary Clinton during the third Presidential debate in 2016. It instantly became a worldwide meme.

Karolina in Astoria Park, Queens. She lives nearby and comes to this park to swim in the public pool in the summer.

The view looking west along Queens Boulevard, a few blocks away from her sculpture studio space.

Aaron poses next to a decorated lamp post in Astor Place. These notable artworks are created by artist Jim Powers. Today Astor Place has 7 of the refurbished mosaic posts.

Aaron stands in front of The Cooper Union Foundation Building on East 7th Street in New York City. They completed the Type@Cooper program and learned about TypeThursday.

Aaron climbs a ladder to look at books on the shelves at The Strand bookstore. They often come here to browse all types of books, particularly the rare books section, which contains notable out of print design books.

Aaron browses the used book section. The Joan Miró “Blue” painting on back cover of the book they’re holding happens to be a poster in their room.

Aaron sits on the stoop of a building, the stone lettering uses a slight reverse-stress treatment, resulting in some letters appearing top-heavy (note the “E,” the “R,” and the “S”). While it’s more common to find bottom-weighted letterforms in any medium, Aaron prefers to reimagine and experiment with alternative treatments.

This mosaic is in the entrance to the 9th Street PATH train station. Aaron appreciates finding public art in unexpected places.

Aaron stands in front of the window of The West Village Florist. Having a deep appreciation for the natural world and biology, they connect with plants and wildlife wherever they can find it in New York City.

Aaron at Grounded Coffee House on Jane Street. With the space full of plants and floral arrangements, they find this space peaceful and often come here to work.

Aaron sits in their room at home in the West Village where they share a small apartment with a roommate. The wall is covered in artworks and ephemera that inspire them or relate to a project they’re working on. Note the Joan Miró “Blue” poster on the wall, the same painting they found on a book in The Strand.

Aaron goes through calligraphy exercises and type sketches. A typeface they’re working on is visible on the computer screen. They studied under type master Tony DiSpigna, who was a big influence on their calligraphic style.

Tabia has placed her tissue samples in a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) machine (aka a thermal cycler), which allows her to find and amplify what markers are present in the DNA sample.

Tabia is genotyping at the bench (the process of determining which genetic variants are present in an animal, in this case, a mouse). The vials contain brain tissue of mouse specimens and she is releasing via pipette the dna out of the tissue.

Meghin and Tabia discuss a set of lab test results.

Tabia Santos. BA. Barnard College. Current: MD candidate at Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell

Zoe Donaldson. AA Simon’s Rock College, BS UCLA, PhD Emory University, Post doc Columbia University. Current: assistant professor of neuroscience, University of Colorado, Boulder

Zoe is at the hood station, a protected station that pulls toxic gas compounds away from the user as they work.

Meghin and Vanessa watch Zoe as she harvests brain tissue from a mouse specimen inside the hood.

Vanessa harvests brain tissue from the specimen.

Vanessa is about to label the tubes of the tissue samples with a marker, Zoe looks on holding a bottle of cleaning fluid to prepare for cleaning lab tools.
