In the world of inspirational posters and pins, there is much attention given to the idea that one must take on the things that make one uncomfortable: that much of life lies beyond our comfort zones, and that growth can happen only when we are challenged, stretched, pushed and off-balance.

In reorganizing our supplies, sketchbooks and work space this week, we came across a few gems. Let the record show: Kate has always been a doodler, and Jack has always been the punniest guy around. image credits: Union Jack Creative

Due out in July 2016, the next Ghostbusters movie will be a series reboot – featuring an all-female foursome! Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig have been cast in the spirit-slaying roles, amid much consternation from people I assume are afraid of powerful women and change.

I wasn’t going to post anything today. We’ve been working on site copy and updates and drafting content and I figured, for a Friday, it could wait – but this series of New York from (way) above is too amazing to wait on. Vincet Laforet’s Gotham 7.5K was shot while leaning out of a helicopter 7,500 feet […]

We hit the ground running this year, with a new issue of Don’t Take Pictures in the works, more wedding invitations on the docket, and plenty going on around Boston. Here’s a look back at the holiday season and the start of the new year! L-R, top to bottom: 1-pressing New Years sandwiches with the […]

This week, apparently, artists creating with unexpected materials are striking a chord for me. In his Ordinary Behavior series, Kevin LCK has constructed dioramas within cardboard and paper models of familiar (if not always thoroughly modern) gadgets. The works are intended to interrupt assumptions about our behavior and interactions with others and with technology, and they are detailed, […]
