Thank you Steve Jobs. We wish you well.
Think Different. Just the words give me a lump in my throat. Not just for the concern over the health of Mr. Jobs, but rather for the inspiration that his company has given me for so many years. I’m not talking about the more recent innovations and products, such as the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. [...]
Gurley Milling Co. | 1950′s Flour Sacks
With my college years starting down south in North Carolina (Greensboro, to be exact), I remember driving through Princeton, N.C. on my way to the Outerbanks. Not a bad drive, knowing that the beaches lay just ahead.
Wilco Concert Posters | For the Love of Art
I have to admit having very little knowledge of Wilco‘s music. Beyond knowing that they’re an alternative country band from Chicago, I’m pretty much on the outside of their orbit. Based on the small show I recently took in that highlighted their concert tour poster art, I’m quite willing to give their music a wholehearted [...]
Sol LeWitt @ Mass MoCA
The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (Mass MoCA) never disappoints and is always worth the drive. Yes, New York has it’s share of wonderful museums- many of which I still need to see. Spending a weekend in North Adams, Mass and visiting Mass MoCA is an entirely different experience. The museum occupies what was once [...]
Myers of Keswick | British Goods
One of my favorite spots in NYC to pick up some tasty treasures is Myers of Keswick, on Hudson St. at Horatio. A great little neighborhood to stroll on a sunny day as well. Myers is essentially a traditional mom & pop market, but with a small difference. Everything in Myers is either made in [...]
Hang Tags | Collections
Hang Tags come in every shape and size imaginable. They are the elements of retail products that get little fanfare but are labored over by graphic artists with the hope of catching a customer’s attention, inform the customer of the amazing attributes of the garment, and generally create a little billboard for some brand recognition. [...]
Graphic Clarity | Change Of Plans
There’s something to say about malicious false advertising- and then there is advertising that unintentionally doesn’t deliver the correct message. In the case of the above, there was clearly no devious scheme involved, but it surely made me stop and think about the many pieces of art and graphics that I work on that are [...]
Street Art | Common Ground
Toronto No matter where I’ve gone, street art is always present and is most always interesting. Some is clearly created by more professional-level artists (like the one below- obviously the work of a master). Yes, I believe those are what you think they are.
Vintage Graphics | Corporate Sponsors
The “event T-shirt” has always been of interest to me- made especially for an event, celebration, product-launch, corporate milestone, etc… Kind of the low-brow version of a limited release artist’s print, making them somewhat collectible, or at least a curiosity/window into cultural happenings.
