There is just something about the illustration style of apak that always makes me smile. And now they have an adorable mug that could put a smile on your face every morning! I think my personal favorite is the Happy Hermits sculpture. It reminds me a little bit of David the Gnome (which I very [...]
I love this concept design by Gonglue Jiang. As laptops get smaller we also lose the number of USB ports. I know that I have to unplug my cooling pad to plug in my camera, but perhaps those day would be over with the Infinite USB ports. The daisy-chain idea is a very interesting concept, [...]
I’m actually taking off later today to head to Boston to attend PAX east. For those of you who may not be familiar with PAX it’s a game convention put on my the amazing guys at Penny Arcade. Even with my often very busy schedule I still find time to unwind a bit by jumping [...]
I stumbled upon a detail of one of Tara Badcock’s on flickr a while back and just fell in love. Her embroidery work is so free and loose but the stitches and colors are so precise at the same time. It almost makes in a little hard to wrap one’s head around. The more I [...]
You may have seen the lovely wreathes from Knock Knocking during the winter holidays. But why wait until the weather turns cold again to source up your door? Check out her new spring designs which are sure to put a smile on your face every time you come home! I also love her new pinwheel [...]
Once summer comes around I tend to only wear flip flops (yes even in nyc) and slip-on’s. So you can only imagine how stoked I was to find these awesome Keds designed by some of my favorite illustrators! Yellena James, Nate Duval, and Luke Drozd have my absolute favorite designs over at the designer Keds [...]
A few months ago I posted about colorful paint that doubles as a chalkboard surface. While I am absolutely in love with the idea of turning an entire wall into a writing surface I just don’t like the feel of chalk in my hand. The good news is I can still have my wall of [...]
I know it’s still a few days until the official first day of spring but spring has come a bit early here in Brooklyn. This morning when I walked out the front door I noticed a few crocuses have bloomed under our currently barren rose bush. The sun was hitting them just right so I [...]
Some people spend their extra cash on clothes, some treat themselves to spa days, others to a night on the town. I have always been a home goods junkie. This year Bodum is my new enemy. Just look at these sleek modern juicers, tea pitchers, coffee presses… the list goes on. The colors these new [...]
Cut paper works always make me smile, weather they are complex and serious or sleek and humorous. The work of Jared Andrew Schoor falls into both categories. He currently is part of a two man exhibition of work at Gallery Nucleus (which I still wish was in New York) along with Sean Chao. Jared’s work [...]
