Golden Rule Poster

My studiomate Erica opened a poster tube earlier today and out of it came this stunning (!) Golden Rule Poster. I could barely breathe for a few minutes.

This poster is a father and son collaboration. All elements are hand drawn by Koen (age 6) with a Sharpie marker at the dining room table, then arranged digitally in their studio. The type is the “Golden Rule” as penned in the honest hand of a child.

Combine letterpress + kids drawings + type and you win my heart. Instantly.

Odering now.

  1. I could barely breathe either! This is so great!

  2. This is the cutest thing I have ever seen. LOVE parent children collaborations.

  3. I have been living by this rule, almost since the same age as the little boy who drew this. I want multiple copies of this poster.

  4. That’s great!

  5. Although I like the above version of the Golden Rule I actually prefer this one:

    Don’t do unto others what you wouldn’t want them to do to you.

    Maybe a combination of both would be best ;)

  6. This is a really nice poster. Put together beautifully and of course the golden rule itself is something we should live by.

  7. Its from the bible: So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you… Matthew 7:12

  8. The Golden Rule existed long before the New Testament in several religions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Rule

  9. Studio on Fire is THE BEST. I am running out of wall space but this one is getting a place of honor :)

  10. I turn left on my right

  11. “do unto others as u would have them do to u.” is the prophets and the law.

  12. it is senseless to live without others living with u.
