A show is opening on Friday in England that I would give an arm to go see. It’s called Compulsive, Obsessive, Repetitive and it’s going to be at Towner. There are some awesome artists in the show I’ve heard about like Claire Morgan and some I have never heard about before. One in particular was […]

A month has passed? I knew I was being a bit derelict about the blog but this is terrible – apologies. I’ve been bookmarking things left and right to write up but haven’t found the time. Work has been very busy, I had my five year college reunion, my brother had a baby – I’ve […]

A few days ago I came upon the site Artsicle, a NYC-based startup designed to encourage art collecting. You can “rent” a piece of art (in NYC) for $50 and then, if it works in your home, buy it! It’s like Rent the Runway for artwork, which is a great idea! While I was trolling […]

I can see what search terms are bringing people to this groovy blog and I’m always surprised that the term “cartoon waves” is at the top of the list, everyday! Who are these people who constantly need images of cartoon waves? I did the search myself and realized it was because of my post on […]

All the way from his new home in the Netherlands, my brother’s friend Neil sent me a New England artist last night who is right up my alley, Amy Eisenfeld Genser, who he found on Design Milk on Friday. Her work is both repetitive and pattern-centric – two of my favorite things – and she […]

Sometimes I wonder how I don’t know so many awesome artists exist already until someone points them out to me. That’s exactly how I felt the other day when Charlotte told me about an exhibit she saw at the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts. The artist’s name is Rachel Perry Welty and she is actually […]

One of my favorite sites for shopping is Svpply. With everything going on lately I have been derelict at checking it but today I did and came across the very cool works of Julie LaBulle, otherwise known as Giulia Dolci. Giulia is a London-based graphic designer and illustrator whose Hairy Series reminds me of Marilyn […]

Yesterday Michael sent me a blog post by Becky Stern over at MAKE: on paper artist, Matt Shlian. The pictures in her post were pretty great and clearly up my alley with their repetitive nature, however, when I dug further into the pages of his work on his site I found some even more awesome […]

This weekend I was in NYC for the Build a Nest city board retreat and met many amazing women who knew about many fabulous things. One woman at the retreat told me about her friend’s paper company, Loop, and gave me their card. Not realizing that I have a love of repetitive artwork and borderline […]

There’s a Boston gallery that specializes in fine Japanese crafts, Keiko Gallery, which is right near my house. I can’t wait to go by as I’m seriously into one of the artists they represent, Niisato Akio, a porcelain artist. According to their site he did a workshop at Harvard in March 2009, I wasn’t living […]
