Today I came across the artist Jason Hackenwerth at Lost at E Minor — the link was just a super cool photo of his epic balloon-based art works but I tracked him down. I love the regularity he’s able to achieve in the pattern of the balloons and the way look threatening but then you […]

My brother sent me the work of Johanna Spath and Johannes Tsopanides a while ago but I hadn’t had the time to post it as of yet. Together the two of them have made what they call, “Cloudspeakers.” This project is so awesome because it merges two of my interests, design and music technology. The […]

As I work more and more on my yurt project I’ve been researching additional installation artists who utilize pieces of nature in their pieces. I spent yesterday at the Museum of Art and Design with Charlotte looking at parts of their permanent collection they’re currently displaying, which is where I came across Gyongy Laky. Her […]

Tomorrow is the Whitney Museum’s annual art party, which also has an auction component. I was going through the art that they’re auctioning and came across the artist Michele Oka Doner who I can’t believe I didn’t know about before. Her work is also inspired by nature, she also makes large scale figural works as […]

His five lines are generally organized into complimentary tones and patterns that are fun and unexpected. My favorites though are the patterns that involve elements like leaves, branches and stamen. These orchid flowers are terrific and I love […]

I thought I would post about Ted Muehling who finds inspiration in all sorts of organic forms, flora and fauna. He creates works in his New York studio out of a variety of materials including […]

I went to a fabulous, quickie lunch today with my friend Charlotte at Ed’s Lobster Bar down the street from my office. She’s leaving today for a work trip to Israel and Egypt and I wanted to catch her before she left. She was wearing the most beautiful necklace that I noticed when we sat […]

Another recent Etsy discovery has been Perch Papier based in Seattle. I really like her designs as they’re very anemone-like. She calls them her burst cards, little bursts of life! I also like the ones below – little clusters of bubbles are clearly becoming a trend in my interests – I also love the green […]

On one of the first nights that I lived in Telluride I went to the Mountain Film Festival to see a movie called The Hatch. I didn’t know what I was getting into but I wanted to get involved in the community so there I was. In the relatively short time the film played I […]
