"We're inquisitive: learning from other artists, illustrators, designers, photographers, filmmakers and musicians, whether they're upstarts or icons, famous or shy, verbal or visual. We're inspired: enchanted by great ideas and strange inventions; by colour and pattern; things fancy and frugal; the charm of vintage in a modern life; the ridiculous and the sublime. We're adventurous: traveling to destinations both real and imagined, peeking into creative spaces and discovering magnificent people and memorable places. We're eclectic: curating souvenirs, collecting treasures and celebrating the extraordinary in the everyday. We're playful: delighting in visual amusements, intelligent distraction, entertaining wordplay and sweet indulgences.

We're UPPERCASE: a magazine for the creative and curious!"

/// Funnel business card featured in the December issue of HOW magazine page 49
in the article “Hey Good Lookin’” by Megan Lane Patrick ---

"Thoughtfully created business cards not only increase and enhance business by providing the obvious functional information and brand extension, but can even become precious brand souvenirs of people, places, products and events," explains designer Eric Kass, who's known for the creative cards he designs for clients. For his own card, Kass was inspired by dilapidated roadside typography, mundane printed ephemera and vintage printing techniques. "Specifically, the decorative brackets are the remnants of an old children's shoe store sign photograph," he says. "And the subtle naturally aged herringbone texture on the back of the card is from a leftover store sales insert discovered behind a photo in one of my great grandmother's decades-old frames. I wanted the design to embrace contradictions, feeling decorative but everyday, considered but happenstance." – Meagan Lane Patrick, HOW senior editor
