This amazing artist came via my brother who was reading the BLDGBLOG a while ago and sent it to me. Last month I was largely in Morocco with a non-profit, Nest, that I volunteer with but now I’m back and have several great artists to post on. Shannon lives and works in Maine, not far […]
So clearly I’ve been stockpiling a few artists to post for the last few weeks as I’ve been busy on the yurt but Ann Weber is one that really complements that work too! Ann Weber works in cardboard — after years of working in ceramics she decided to built huge pieces out of cardboard as […]
Anyone who knows me knows that for years I’ve loved gummi bears, not the designer ones in little tubs but the good old fashioned Haribo’s that get hard after a day with the bag open. I love them. A few years ago my boss gave me a gift of a gummi bear lamp — it […]
DudeCraft, Make and my brother, Michael all showed me the work of Baptiste Debombourg this week and I had to share. Similar to Ray Hwang, who makes use of straight pins and buttons to create wall art, Baptiste uses another common element, staples, to achieve larger images on walls.

Another epic discovery over at Lost at E Minor today was their recently featured emerging artist that goes by one name, Jim. While the name is nondescript his work certainly is not. He creates skull-based works that incorporate fibers, found object like tea bags, what looks like plastic cording, paint, etc. I can’t even really […]
As I’ve mentioned before, my friend Philae is basically my source for all things good and right in the contemporary art world. She just took an amazing new job at 20×200 and thus far she has already been exposing me to such great artists/reminding me to continually check in on the site as they get […]
As we decorate our new place we have tons of artwork propped up against the walls that we’re trying to decide what should go where. Charlotte showed me one big piece she has a plan for the other night and it got me thinking — I have no room in my room for new things […]
Last Valentine’s Day was a blur of six girlfriends in bright colors on South Beach soaking up the sun and listening to awesome playlists. This year, while they make the pilgrimage again, I don’t think I’ll be making the journey. With the change that was my move to Boston I sort of dropped the ball […]
