Do Things Right the 1st Time



About a month ago I found this poster by 55Hi's. I knew right away I just had to have it, so I bought it on the spot, got myself #2 of 55 too. Since then I've been wanting to do something of my own, just for fun and as a learning experience. The only problem was I couldn't think of something that was inspiring enough to print and hang—cause what's the point if it's not right?. Yesterday my twitter feed was graced with a tweet from @nikibrown that I knew was perfect as soon as I saw it.





Inspiring right? Unfortunately as great as it was, when I started laying it out it just didn't fit quite right. I tried a few different variations and finally decided to alter the wording slightly, coming up with this.



Now I'm itching to buy a screen printing kit so I can try my hand at it (I know, ADD much right?). It would be perfect to have both over my desk constantly reminding me to be better. Maybe if there's enough interest I'll scrape some cash together and print a few up. Anyone else want one over their desk?
