Help! Save the date!

This is the more adorable Save The Date. So creative & cutely done :)
No, I do not know these people. A co-worker sent this to me. I feel a bit like a creeper...but who cares.

Valentine's

Home cooked dinner.
Mussels, pasta, garlic bread, wine.

Slightly tamer than last year's festivities...









Happy post-Valentine's Day, folks.

Intel Visual Life: Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist

Great short film about Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist and his visual life.

Around 3:40 to 4:10 is my neighborhood (in the Mr. Roger's feel of a neighborhood) and the apartment that I lived in at Union Square with Jeannie and the girls (love).

The Candy Shop (& other great films)

http://www.thedoorpost.com/

I came across the trailer for The Candy Shop not too long ago. Tonight, I discovered that the film was released recently & is being featured on The Doorpost Project, a film contest. I don't think it made it to the finalists, but I watched it anyways...really well-done.

I plan to watch more of these short films during my holiday on Long Island, which starts tomorrow. Yay.

What type are you?

This is cute.

I straddle between Cooper Black Italic and Bifur.

Merry Christmas, from Munny to you.

One of the 2Tone Dunny artists Chuckboy made a festive Munny for a Blick Art catalog (which happens to be choice of art stores too). Love it! I definitely want that teddy Dunny too.

OK Go: Last Leaf

OK Go is notorious for their great music videos. It's not quite Arcade Fire but OK Go's new stop-motion music video will blow your mind in another way. They used over 2,000 pieces of toast to create a short story that tells a tale in 15 toasts per second.

I think this is pretty amazing. Thanks, Jeannie, for the find!

Agents of change.

Awww. You know you're special when someone not only quotes you, but puts your quote into some pretty graphic that looks like it belongs on someone's Tumblr page :)



Haha. Thanks, Jeannie.


PS - Yesterday, I made the comment that a sign that you've pretty much succeeded in my field, the sign that you've done something pretty spectacular with your life, is when you're mentioned, quoted, interviewed, or (best of all) highlighted by Nick Kristof. Hero.

Print is not dead.

I wanted to post this up a while back when Design*Sponge first presented the new design magazine Anthology.



I was reminded of this when I came across another video this morning. A piece created by Lane Smith titled It's a Book.



Not only are these videos adorable (I pretty much love everything about the Anthology one) but they remind me of why I have 2 bookshelves overflowing with printed pieces, about 10 more books strewn across my bedroom, and 3 more in the mail coming to me.

About Smith's book, Adam Gopnik writes in the New York Times:

“The moral of Smith’s book is the right one: not that screens are bad and books are good, but that what books do depends on the totality of what they are — their turning pages, their sturdy self-­sufficiency, above all the way they invite a child to withdraw from this world into a world alongside ours in an activity at once mentally strenuous and physically still.”

Perfect!

Yum.

This was totally me last night (without milk):





Sigh.

Movies for a cause: The Candy Shop.

Really looking forward for this new metaphorical movie by Whitestone Motion Pictures.

Supakitch + Koralie: new mural.

A tad bit in love with this.

For some reason, I find sad-looking things to be hilarious.

Well, we all know Sad Panda. I saw him featured again in Gothamist, and as I looked at his picture, I just started to giggle. He's so cute. And so funny.



And just last week, I saw the new custom MUNNY from NERVISWR3K...the second picture (as seen below) made me crack up. I couldn't stop laughing for some reason. Even now, as I write this and look at the picture, I am chuckling. I sent it to someone with the comment, "Look how emo he is! Hahaha!" and the person didn't get me at all. Sad gabbie.

But really:



Hahahah. Yeah?

(Clearly, I have issues...I find sad-looking things to be funny...)

DOTS: new graffiti documentary.

Look for my picture in Soho.

I love making new friends.



Last weekend I met Roman, an artist living in Soho who is originally from Mexico, & we chatted about Polaroids, painting, transfers, human rights, life as an artist, etc. And then he took my picture and gave me the "negative" for free. You might find the transferred piece sitting on his table that he displays every weekend on Spring St.

Late summer gradation.

The colors in this Design*Sponge post are too amazing to not repost.


(this one is just perfection)







I've been having a love affair with warm colors lately...I bought a handful of orange, yellow, red decorative items for the apartment recently too. I think it's September getting to me.

Let's colour.

Amazing.
