Max Wanger’s cliff diving series isn’t new, but it does remind us that warm weather frolicking is on its way. (Jack and I do love skiing, but we also love a mild, slop-free commute. It’s time.) Wanger’s shots of divers suspended in thin air brought to mind Jess Richmond’s gravity series, and this image in […]

Ours is not a fashion blog, I know – but I spent yesterday catching up on my poor, neglected google reader, and apparently I’ve been missing out on a fabulous video series from Garance Doré. It would be a shame if you were missing out, too! Reading Garance’s blog is basically just like watching the […]
We’ve been in our current apartment for almost three years. When we first moved in, we dug through my old art homework and hung a series of rough sketches as a placeholder on the dining room wall, fully intending to replace them with “real” art when we found the right piece. And, here they are, […]
I’m spending some time today tagging along on Jack’s homework: sketching practice. We’ve moved through lines, arcs, circles, ellipses, squares, triangles and textures, and while he moves on to icons and wire frames I’m hung up, per usual, on type. Basic sketching techniques apply to the work we’ve done in monogram design as well – […]
Happy Friday! We’ve got a low-key weekend in store (hopefully), which is good – there’s lots of homework, housework and client work to be done around here. What do you have on tap? Before the week is through, might we suggest a quick “awwwww” for Murad Osmann’s instagram photos of his ladyfriend leading him around […]
February is not my favorite month. Despite its brevity, it seems to me to hold the worst of winter – I’m over the joy of snow, there’s really no hope just yet for spring, and above all I’m really sick of riding in slop. I miss street cleaning. January is a month of winter fun, […]
In other holdout projects from 2012, it’s high time we share our New Years invitations. This year marked our fourth annual black tie NYE, and we were determined to not create a last minute rush to assemble invites. (Spoiler alert: we waited until the last minute.) This was the first year that we sent the […]
I had the pleasure of spending the evening last night at Scampo for this month’s Boston Bloggers meetup, catching up with friends, meeting some in the flesh for the first time and making a few completely new acquaintances. Alison and Kate did a lovely job planning, as always! As I was chatting with Elizabeth and […]
Lighting is an interesting thing. In photography, good lighting – and good use of that lighting – separates professionals and artists from the rest of us. At a party, the right amount of light keeps guests comfortable, but sane. In a museum, lighting can draw subtle boundaries for the visitor, or transform the viewing experience; […]
Jack’s spending this snowy Sunday tasting whisky at Julio’s annual grand tasting, and I’m catching up on some outgoing shipments from our shop. Exciting stuff! I also took a moment to revisit this color matching test from Method of Action. Jack discovered this on Friday, and nearly aced it; I had an inexplicably difficult time […]
