Boston’s weather has taken a turn from June to January today, leaving me happy I grabbed a jacket despite not checking the forecast. Ours is a city for umbrellas and galoshes, no doubt about it. The sloppy weather makes bumpershoots a necessity, Bostonian sensibility dictates that they’re nearly universally black or navy, and the winds […]

We’ve been thoroughly focused on type for the past few weeks in our work, and that has meant discovering some pretty incredible typographic art in the process. This week, a few font-themed favorites make the Friday Fancies cut. Felt & Wire offers up some pretty fantastic paper goods, but this periodic table of elements (from […]
It’s still (barely) National Bike Month, and we’re still feeling festive – it seems as if there has been more good news about biking this month than we’ve seen in a while (which is, perhaps, the point), and we’re all for it.
Michael Mapes and Andrew Myers do not have much in common in their particular creative techniques – Mapes works in dissection and assemblage of photographs, Myers with paint and screws in bas-relief – but in these two pieces, the results are strikingly complimentary. For more from these artists, and for a peek at how the works […]
We have resurfaced on the east coast, alive and well! We dove back into the routine straight off a red eye Tuesday morning, and I took some heat for not sharing pictures immediately – so, a visual recap. SFMoMA
I didn’t have a chance to finish my intended Fancies post before departing for the left coast, but seeing as travel should always involve brunch, cocktails or brunch cocktails, we’ll just leave this little gem from Breakfast For Dinner here for you to devour. Have a great weekend!
We’re off to San Francisco tonight to visit friends, take a break catch some art, eat and drink, and run Bay to Breakers. It’s true, we probably won’t dance on any tables, and champagne is only a maybe, but there is almost certainly (always) a bubbly of some sort in our future. Cheers! (image credit: […]
For anyone who has ever navigated Boston’s streets on two wheels, it’s painfully obvious that cars are king in our culture – but not so everywhere. In honor of National Bike Month, a peek at this terrific traffic garden in the Netherlands. This space, built on a smaller scale and populated with pedal-powered cars, serves […]
Happy Mothers’ Day weekend! Between us, we’ll cover ground in four states this weekend for assorted festivities – here’s to safe travels, sunshine and some very special ladies in our lives. We’ve spent the week knee-deep in custom monogram designs, which (would you believe) go hand in hand with cocktails; Jack was particularly excited to […]
Jack has a particular weakness for making-of videos, and I have a soft spot for well-executed watercolors. This timelapse video of Italian artist Silvia Pelissero at work was mesmerizing for both of us. You can find more of Silvia’s work on Facebook, deviantART and bigcartel; for more timelapse painting, head to her YouTube channel. video […]
