Today my mom and I went on a discovery trip around town! We have a wedding to go to in a few hours so had to hustle our way around the city to check out some of the cool new stuff we’d heard was going on. First stop was Room 68, a new store in […]

I have been trying to be a bit more active on Twitter these days – reading more but also sharing more things that I find. One person I came across was Erin Loechner who writes Design for Mankind. I found out about her through Rue Magazine’s Twitter and after many an hour on her site I […]

Sometimes I find artists online that make me wonder how on Earth I didn’t know about them already. My boyfriend refers to me as a “Page 5 Googler” as I’m known for my ability to dig into the deep internet to find stuff out…take that as you wish. Today was one of those days when […]

She does both illustrations and pen and ink drawings and her line drawings are awesome from the repetitive, meditative perspective. Cream Puff – I really like her titles. It’s funny, since I saw Meander’s work I […]

If the name Pokorny wasn’t a dead giveaway, I’m part Czech. When I came across Petra Voglova’s lamps I was pleasantly surprised to find that she was too! Born in 1980 in Krnov to be exact. Her works are made from one of my favorite materials, porcelain. They are also carved works, not simply hand […]

Everyone knows I love a good sea urchin and today, my brother’s friend Neil (and my friend too) sent me the site of Jennifer Maestre whose sculptures are entirely inspired by “the form and function of the sea urchin.” These are 1 inch sections of pencils, cut, sharpened, drilled and then sewn together like in beading.

While I know I’m late to the party again, I recently discovered StumbleUpon and have lost countless hours to the Stumble button. It’s addictive. The other night, deep, deep in a hole of of the internet I came upon this post on a blog called BumBumBum and the work of Heike Weber, I was floored. This piece is […]

My brother forwards me 5-10 items from his Google Reader a day. Some of those are really just time-sucks like a chicken coin purse, puppy pictures, etc. others of them are awesome like a recent one from Colossal about Shayna Leib. Shayna won immediate favor with me because of her really informative website with great […]
