Odin New York Menswear Shops
Odin in the West Village It’s always worth noting when you come across a shop that is run by a staff as nice as the clothes they sell. A lot of times it seems that the attitude grows exponentially with a shop’s price tags. Not the case at the Odin shops in NYC. Both the [...]
Le Labo | Perfume & Candles, Quality & Packaging
Le Labo Fragrances on New York’s Elizabeth St. combines beautiful packaging and presentation with top quality products. Make sure to walk down Elizabeth slowly though, as the outside of the shop is so understated that you may stroll right on by.
Muck Boots
The Chore With the weather being as it has been over the last couple months, you need to have dependable footwear. Just yesterday, I spent 6 hours kicking a shovel into the mud and brush slopping through the continued spill-off of the recent rainstorms. My 7 year old Muck Boots were with me the whole [...]
My Top 5 Creative Productivity iPhone Apps
Dropbox By far, one of my absolute favorite applications I’ve come across in years. It is made for both Mac and PC Desktops, as well as iPhone. Dropbox is as the name implies, a central “drop box”, where you can store and exchange files between home and office computers, between colleagues, even as a web-based [...]

The Fringe Movement is a cooperative of sorts in Somerville MA, consisting of about a dozen artists/businesses, each working in various [...]

Or in the case of the above photo of Alfred Hitchcock and Carey Grant, the subject matter [...]
Kim Beck | Weeds on the High Line
When I first picked up Kim Beck’s A Field Guide To Weeds in the bookstore, only opening to the first couple pages, I thought I had a clever new sketchbook in hand. Going in a little further I started to see that what I had was more of a finely-tuned mini coffee table book or [...]
Spring is Coming | Most Epic
Dust off those Vans and unfold the shorts because Spring is coming! (I hope the sun hasn’t made me overly optimistic today.) Most Epic from Quarter Productions on Vimeo.
Iron Works | New York City Foundries
As you can note from the small stamp in the lower right, the above ironwork is imported from a foundry in India- not the case for most of the last century. Most of us think of Pittsburgh as being the only home of US steel, but New York City was actually the base for many [...]
Michael Dacey | Repeat Press Letterpress Studio
I love the internet’s ability to create connections. Stopping by my friend’s blog A Continuous Lean a couple months ago, I was treated to a video (by Quarter Productions) of a letterpress printshop making some coasters for Highsnobiety. The video was so well done that I wanted to find out more about the people behind [...]
