Back in June, we shared a few images from the Rio de Janeiro favela of Santa Marta, as the artistic duo Hass&Hahn set about working with residents to create a colorful mural spanning several buildings surround the central square of the neighborhood. Today, CNN picked up the story of Santa Marta – and has included […]

We spent some time this weekend brainstorming designs for holiday cards, in an attempt to ensure we don’t repeat the completely overwhelming procrastination mistake of last year’s New Year’s invites. I’m looking forward to seeing how our designs unfold, but after catching a glimpse of these holiday cards by Tomomi Sayuda and kin Design, I’m fairly certain […]
We first discovered the work of Yuken Teruya at a São Paulo exhibition of his Notice – Forest series, in which small tree sculptures are cut from and constructed within disposable paper shopping bags. We were moved by the work then, but Teruya most recently resurfaced on my radar for his Corner Forest pieces featuring toilet paper […]
Jack and I are city people. That’s not to say that those are our roots (far from it), but rather that the city is where we want to be – the art and music, the food and drink, the bike-able commute and the nightlife are all major factors in that sentiment. It’s no secret that […]
Phew! It’s been a busy few weeks, which has translated to a slower pace for the blog – but we had our first free Sunday in weeks, along with some time to make a few adjustments to the site, and we’re back in business. We also spent a portion of our free day wandering the […]

The still shots that caught my eye on Tumblr were stunning enough to warrant sharing, but it wasn’t until this morning that I had a chance to spend some time looking through Alex’s Behance portfolio for the project, […]
At first glance, works by Lola Dupré appear to be photographic or illustrative. Closer examination, though, reveals some of the most impressive and meticulous collage work we’ve ever happened across.
I’ve not been terribly discrete about my disliking winter, nor about my tendency for feeling glum during autumn simply because it means winter is coming. As leaves start to turn in Boston, and with a few nights of crisp air (and tights! boots! jackets!) behind us, I’m finding myself a bit more enamored, and feeling […]
We spent an extended weekend with friends in Philadelphia so that I could run a half marathon on Sunday and, I have to admit, we were pleasantly surprised. Though I grew up a mere hour north of Philly, I’ve never spent much time in the city [except for that one girls’ weekend two years ago that involved […]
Paris-based Anastassia Elias has a diverse portfolio of collage, mixed media, paint and illustration works, all of which are lovely. What really caught my attention, though, is her miniature collage and papercut scenes – all created within empty toilet paper rolls.
