See if you can match this...


QUICK REMINDER: Bonnie christine's Surface Design Immersion closes tonight.

Dear Reader,

The printer proofs are all approved!

Can we just have the printer match the cover to "geranium pink"?

I shared a video explaining some of the intricacies of this issue's proofing process over in the UPPERCASE Circle this morning. The video is something I might have previously posted on Instagram, but I'm increasingly stepping back from mass social media and would much rather focus on our community in the UPPERCASE Circle, a private community accessible only to UPPERCASE subscribers. Join me there!

And, please, oh please, support UPPERCASE magazine by subscribing and telling your friends about it!

It's a really good magazine. (And there's 17 years of evidence of this: sixty-eight previous issues released on a quarterly basis without interruption, all reader-supported).

UPPERCASE is increasingly unique in this world. I don't think you'll find another magazine out there with UPPERCASE's curated mix of ad-free content, interesting themes, good design and attention to detail. And if you do, please let me know about it—and I'll become a subscriber!

The next issue is on press soon.

Subscribe, renew or purchase a gift subscription today with the code keepgoing for a discount at checkout. (Subscriber address changes here, please.)

Thank you!

TRANSIT EPHEMERA for Finley

❤️ It's my son Finley's birthday in March, and I'm crowdsourcing a present! Among Finley's many interests is train and public transit ephemera (train timetables, transit stubs, bus tickets and passes, postcards, rail maps). If you're a transit rider and have an old bus pass, transfer ticket or other such contemporary or vintage ephemera from your town or travels, would you like to send it to him? We've already received some envelopes in the mail, but we're keeping them closed until his birthday. Thank you so much!

UPPERCASE SUBSCRIPTIONS

Subscriptions & Renewals: Use the code keepgoing for $10 (Canadian dollars) off a subscription or renewal. Start with issue #67 (stencils, black and white, contrasts) or issue #68 (illustration, the elements of creativity, and taking a stand against AI) or the upcoming issue #69.


quilted reprint

The Quilted reprint will be mailed in March (date to be determined). Preorders outside of North America are not available at this time, so if you're outside of the shipping zone, you won't see the book listed on my website yet. Once the reprint is ready, overseas customers will be able to purchase Quilted directly from UPPERCASE, and later from our UK distributor and stockists.

Closing today!!!

If you have a dream to become a surface designer, don't let another year go by! Enrolling in this course is literally your first step, and then Bonnie will take your hand the rest of the way. And when you use my link, we'll get together as a group at the conclusion of Immersion to look at your work and talk about what's next. I'll be sharing details about the next Surface Pattern Design Guide, too, and how you can get ready to submit your work for 2027.

Bonnie Christine's Surface Design Immersion is open for registration! I've enrolled again this year as an alumnus (I purchased my own tuition), so I'll be taking it alongside you. I'm looking forward to the documentary-style presentation in this year's fully updated course. When you join using my link, not only are you supporting me (I receive a commission), but you'll also be invited to my group pattern and portfolio review session just for UPPERCASE Immersion 2026 students. Registration for Immersion is open now through February 24!
