jhill design: go steelers


i’m not a big football fan, but i am a fan of jennifer hill’s work. she decided to put her recently released pittsburgh print on sale in honor of the steelers’ super bowl win. part of her ‘places i’ve never been’ series, jennifer’s pittsburgh print is available in three sizes ranging from $20-$52 right here. [thanks, jen!]

I love these! my boyfriend is from Pittsburgh and I just bought one of these for him for his birthday. Thanks!

Ha, ha, ha, the name “Pittsburgh” is misspelled everywhere on that page, with the exception of the images of the print itself. I know that the premise of the series is that she’s never been to these cities, but that wouldn’t preclude someone from spelling the names correctly. Too funny!

Thank you for posting this! I am dating an architect from Pittsburgh and I’m convinced he thinks I am anti-Burgh. (I’m not but am a New Yorker…) I bought one of these immediately and am thinking V-day… beautiful print!

Thanks so much Grace! And thanks to visuallingual for pointing out that we forgot the “h” in Pittsburgh in the web text. What can we say, mistakes happen!

No worries! I just know that “Pittsburgh” is an often-misspelled name [just like "Cincinnati," where I currently live]. It’s a mistake an outsider would make, and this is a travel poster by an outsider — it’s so apt.

Thank you so much for shouting out the Steelers!! I’m from Pittsburgh (and a die-hard Steelers fan) and I live in Brooklyn now. This post made my day! I’m definitely getting these awesome prints! Great design Jennifer!

I’m a Pittsburgher living in San Francisco. I just bought this, and am wishing there was a SF one to contrast it on my wall.

Hi Monica, these are archival ink jet prints on watercolor paper. I wish we could do a SF one, but we’ve been there many times :)

My wife and I bought two of these calendars at the Sowa holiday fair in Boston. They’re very, very cool.
