Saturday, July 2nd marks the 50th anniversary of Ernest Hemingway's passing. Folks are recognizing the date in different ways - writing articles, creating memorials, or ignoring it altogether. We are big Hemingway fans and couldn't let the occasion pass unnoticed.

The result: A batch of handsomely designed, screen-printed posters celebrating Hemingway's life - a rough guide to leading a particular type of extraordinary life. We're excited to share them with writers, authors, and Hemingway aficionados, and wanted to give our readers a look as well.

Here's a look at the process from start to finish.

We've also created a set of memory pages where you can explore the life of Ernest as well as his friends and family. Check them out here.

We hope that giving you a glimpse of Hemingway's life story will inspire you to discover and share the extraordinary details in your own life. But if it simply generates a laugh, we're okay with that too.
