Happy Friday! At the time of this scheduled post, Jack and I will have begun our ascent of Mt. Washington. July has been a busy month for us; hopefully August will allow a few more hours for finishing current works in progress. Nonetheless, enjoy a few things that have tickled our fancy this week.

I’ve come to notice that, as of late, there’s been a pattern in the styles of art catching my eye. And it’s a very geometric pattern. Starting with the collage work of Daniel Backman, my list of links to artist portfolios discovered in the past few weeks has grown too long – and so, I […]
Dear friend that he is, Michael got RJD2 stuck in my head this afternoon – so I had to share. Ghostwriter is favorite that Jack and I share, and in my opinion, one of RJ’s best songs. A perfect oldie-but-goodie for a summer afternoon.

Photographer Piero Martinello produces some stunning portraiture, but one project in particular caught my eye as I perused his portfolio. Titled Faces […]
Enjoying this minor distraction from MC Frontalot – loving the graphic style, and the message. Presently reevaluating my personal definition of problems.
I came across this little sketch by Keri Smith, courtesy Maura of Texturism, and it left me thinking about my own wanderings.
I feel like I must have first seen the work of Pete Dungey before I had started biking Boston’s notorious roads; I make this conjecture specifically because I don’t recall relating his Pothole Gardens to my own existence, but just considering it clever.
