Right before the Christmas we discovered the Greenpoint Food Market, which is held right down the street from our apartment. I don’t think we were fully prepared for what awaited us inside. There were so many awesome people selling everything from vegan sandwiches to locally made pickles. My absolute favorite was a little company called [...]
Matt and I finally sat down and watched Paper Heart last night. We both loved it. It’s not often that a love story, or rather a story about love, comes across as real. The simplicity of the story combined with amusing anecdotes from everyday folks made for a sweet but far from saccharine tale of [...]

She is going to release another two art prints with her “time limited edition” method. “Yuuwaku” is a 16″ x 20.5″ giclee, while “Hyakki Yakou” is a 14″ x 23″ giclee. The unframed [...]
The work of Cecilia Galluccio is in a word, stunning. I love seeing a traditional craft taken to a whole new level with a modern design sense. Cecilia markets her work under the moniker of Burned Furniture but these are pieces that will become instant heirlooms. She burns each of her designs freehand into the [...]
Basheer Books in Jakarta, in conjunction with Pantone developed a site specific rainbow of pantone chips. It’s a pretty cool way to show the value of Pantone books as well as get people talking. After all what would we do without the world of pantone?
