I had an amazing time at Art Star Craft Bazaar this past weekend. The weather was wonderful, the people were friendly and my booth neighbors were amazing. So today I bring you one of my personal favorite from the festival, Found Studio.
Found Studio is the work of an amazing artist, Kacey Buchanan Stafford. Her mixed [...]
I love this instalation by designer Oki Sato (studio nendo). These beautiful ceramic pieces focus on the story of growing furniture. It’s something I have never thought to deeply about, but all furniture pieces evolve from previous works. As the designer states… “A stool grows a backrest, and becomes a chair. When an armrest sprouts [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

One of the things I am really looking forward to in 2010 is the final season of LOST. So many questions. What’s the deal with the four toed statue? What’s up with Libby? Where the heck is Claire? So little answers. I’m hoping that many of these will be answered in the last season, even though [...]
I love cut paper. I love books. I love amazing narrators. Behold this amazing animation for the New Zealand Book Council by Andersen M Studio. Books really do just come alive!
