RC is one of my best friends on this earth. He is a multi-hyphenate: an artist, a philosopher, and a dreamer. I respect few artists more than RC and am constantly inspired by him. I have had the privilege of picking his brain for years and I pray to have the opportunity to continue for the rest of my life. The wealth of knowledge and insight RC has is rarely paralleled in everyday life, and I am thankful for his friendship. The biggest honor you can pay me is to discover and support him.

“The most meaningful insights come not from individual pieces of isolated information, but from the interaction between seemingly disconnected concepts and what they reveal about humanity and the world.” - RC Johnson II

My friends launched Cancelled Plans in the Fall of 2019 (lol ironic timing, right?). From a griddle on their kitchen counter in Seattle, Washington, they started their journey hand-crafting candles by experimenting with various wax blends and scents. After months of trial and error, hundreds of pours, and countless iterations, they finally landed on the perfect blend of coconut and apricot waxes paired with elegant, high-end scent profiles that reflect the moods and feelings of casual luxury they want their candles to evoke.

This innovative look at the history of graphic design explores its evolution from the 19th century to the present day. Author Stephen J. Eskilson demonstrates how a new era began for design arts under the influence of Victorian reformers, tracing the emergence of modernist design styles in the early 20th century, and examining the wartime politicization of regional styles. Richly contextualized chapters chronicle the history of the Bauhaus and the rise of the International Style in the 1950s and '60s, and the postmodern movement of the 1970s and '80s. The book's final chapter looks at current trends in graphic design, with in-depth discussions of grunge, comic book, and graffiti aesthetics; historicism and appropriation; and the influence of technology, web design, and motion graphics.

Ella Minnow Pea is a girl living happily on the fictional island of Nollop off the coast of South Carolina. Nollop was named after Nevin Nollop, author of the immortal phrase containing all the letters of the alphabet, “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”

Now Ella finds herself acting to save her friends, family, and fellow citizens from the encroaching totalitarianism of the island’s Council, which has banned the use of certain letters of the alphabet as they fall from a memorial statue of Nevin Nollop. As the letters progressively drop from the statue they also disappear from the novel. The result is "a love letter to alphabetarians and logomaniacs everywhere" (Myla Goldberg, bestselling author of Bee Season).
