This particular piece from Kazuo Shiraga caught my eye first because of the color: the rich plum was the perfect tone for a project we were working on, and the energy of the strokes—as it happens, he most famously painted with his feet while suspended above the canvas—drew me in. When I came across J.R. Schmidt’s processing posters last […]

Earlier this summer, just before our offer was accepted for the hopeful house-to-be, we agreed to take on the design and layout of the innaugural issue of Don’t Take Pictures, a publication from The Kiernan Gallery. Amidst the housing drama, we packed and unpacked our computers, downsized our office to fit in our temporary bedroom, […]
For the first weekend in quite some time, we won’t be away or packing these next few days. Whatever shall we do with ourselves? (The answer is: catch up on work.) Kick things off with a perusal of Phillip Stearns’ Fragmented Memory—a tangible, loom-woven visual depiction of binary data—and then have a giggle at some […]
This morning was a rainy commute; I can only hope the roads will stay dry for the ride home, even if my shoes won’t be. Something about the drop in temperature—in the space just between a muggy morning run and my departure for work—and a longing for more summer had me in just the right […]
Last week in the midst of the move, I came across a still shot from Michael Shainblum’s “Mirror City,” and I was blown away when I unearthed the video itself. Shainblum turns timelapse videos of urban environments into a kaleidoscopic love letter for anyone who has ever fallen for a city.
And we’re back. We packed our lives into 1,024 cubic feet, shipped it all off to storage, kept a few suitcases of necessary things for the next two months and moved ourselves into temporary space in JP complete with a friendly, fuzzy roommate. Thanks for your patience while we worked it all out! image credits: […]
This morning, at 7:30, our POD arrived. (Sorry, neighbors!) Tonight we move the big stuff, having bribed several very good friends with very good pizza and beer at Penguin in exchange for their muscle. Tomorrow, Jack and I tackle the rest of it.
With the first truck stuck under a Storrow Drive overpass this season, Boston’s peak moving week has officially arrived. And—even though we swore we’d never do it again—we’re in the thick of it. So it goes. We’ll be spending the week finishing up packing and moving our things into storage, and we hope you’ll pardon the radio silence. […]
This is our packing anthem this weekend, both for the song itself and the video. Be sure to listen to the a cappella version, too, for an even greater appreciation. Enjoy! video credit: Basement Jaxx
Between packing and proofing, we’ve been working through James Bond movies (available on Amazon Prime Instant Video for the rest of August!), so Michael Gillette’s type-heavy Bond cover redesigns were especially appealing this week. Take a look! Peruse the personal work of photographer Dennis Pedersen, marvel at Todrick Hall’s Beyonce-driven Cinderella remake, have a laugh at […]
