Once in a blue moon I like to sell jewelry sans internet. Please visit me at the Of A Kind Roadshow where I will be offering a 20% discount on several pieces from my line. The venue is super fancy advertising agency, Wieden + Kennedy New York. Ironically, my career as a graphic designer ended at an ad agency just a few doors down (less fancy).
I designed some postcards just for this occasion too. They came out pretty alright, I think. Hope to see you there!

A amazing book by our dear friend, Taylor Holland. He’s an Austin dude who moved to Paris several years ago and started spotting these radical tour buses. His photography is beautiful and so is the book itself (I touched it.)
Please check out my sale on FAB.com. I’m offering major reductions and it’s for 72 hrs only!

And we have evidence thanks to Jennifer! And thank you to everyone who came out in the cold and possibly even took the G train to see us. It was really packed for a while, wasn’t it?

Getting ready for tonight. Hope to see you!

The latest from Shannon South’s ‘Made in Brooklyn‘ series… This time featuring ME! The photos and text did an excellent job articulating the kind of work I do. Shannon is good at articulating most things. I just try to keep up!
Other targets include Dobbin Mews neighbors Jennifer and Anne.
Thanks Shannon!

I sure love me some data visualization! So this animation shows the anatomy of a dozen or so Daft Punk songs in a mash up. You can follow each song along the timeline at the bottom as well how much of each song you’re hearing in the graphic up top. So cool.
The past week has been fundraising week on NPR. In other words, this is the week that forces me to deal with my tired old itunes library. Here are some of my new jams, beginning with a PERFECT song.
Cone Undone, Mark Lanegan & Isobel Campbell
Back Up Plan, Big Boi
Intentions, Whitest Boy Alive
Simple As, Kid Cudi
Wake and Be Fine, Okkervil River
Riding for the Feeling, Bill Callahan
(If they’re already part of your tired old itunes, I’m sorry. I’m old.)

As if Dobbin Mews wasn’t dreamy enough with the flowers and the textiles and the shiny bits, it just got a little dreamier with essential oils wafting about…
Anne and her small empire, MCMC Fragrances, recently scooped up the space that used to belong to Shannon. And while we’re sad about not seeing Shannon every day, we’re quite happy that she’s moved on to greener pastures (literally).
Four days, four adults, two kids and one HELL of an itinerary. We tried to show our dear relatives a good time with “New York’s Best Family Activities” from the NY Mag’s Visitor Guide.
Man ALIVE! Perhaps the writers overload you with options on purpose… or perhaps they just forgot that groups of six, at any age, is like herding cats. So we edited it down to about a sixteenth, picked our own restaurants (one of my favorites, Kefi weaved in perfectly) and had the best time!
This was one of my favorite parts. The underwater view of the polar bear.
Sorry if this is old news, but I’m just hearing about it out now. He made a new album. With a SMOG cover. And this beautiful video. (from theguardian.co.uk)

I friggin’ love counting and mapping projects. Never was any good at it myself, but I do have the grad school loans to prove my enthusiasm.
This piece by Alexander Chen is a beautifully visualized schedule of the NYC subway system. Pulling data from the MTA’s public API, the graphics represent trains as they depart from one end of the city and travel along their respective routes. It’s as if you had an aerial view of the tunnels without any of the stink, bed bugs, violence, and (sadly) Mariachi bands. Learn more about the methodology from the motionographer post.

It’s so rare that we commoners get access to Nicolette‘s heavenly floral arrangements. If you’re not a bride or a magazine editor I suggest you seize this opportunity and wander over to her Valentine’s Day flower stand in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on Sunday. Right outside of that oh-so-dangerous Shoe Market.

So the huz’ has been studying this book since November. He made the starter nearly a month ago and has been feeding it and inspecting it and whispering tender words to it every day. I’m no baker, but from what I understand it’s primo because you don’t use any commercial yeast. You cultivate it naturally in the starter. If you like to nerd out on bread science check out these TREMENDOUS results!
