Jack and I are headed off on an overnight canoe trip through the wilds of Ipswich, so we won’t get to experience the innaugural ARTCRANK Boston. Bummer.

For anyone who loves a city – no matter which city – there’s something about a skyline. The Skyline. Monday night as I biked home from a Hollaback! event in Cambridge, I caught the Mass Ave bridge in a moment of relative calm – minimal traffic, still air – and as I took in Boston’s […]
Though it’s not our area of expertise (unless consuming cake is an area of expertise), we spend some time each week on wedding-themed Pinterest boards filled with cakes, particularly when we’re getting a feel for clients’ aesthetic ahead of designing an invitation suite. All of that is to say, it’s not entirely a surprise to […]
Coffee is my favorite part of Monday mornings. Actually that’s not relevant here at all; we’ll get back that another day. A favorite stop for mornings in general, though, is the corner of the internet inhabited by Colossal. I’ve written about it before, and I certainly will again; Christopher Jobson’s curation of contemporary art never disappoints. […]
What a week. Friday came and went, and it caught me kind of off-guard; I wasn’t upset to leave the office and head to The Sinclair and Tasty Burger with Jack and a friend visiting from the left coast last night. We’re staying in Boston this weekend, for the first time in a few weeks, […]

Today has been a whirlwind of exciting national news (I have some thoughts on that), so much so that my afternoon yesterday spent soaking up ideas with TEDxBoston was pushed to the back of my mind. But oh, what fun I had.
Neither Aram Bartholl’s 0,16 nor Dóra Maurer’s Printing till exhaustion are new works, but I happened upon the former last week just after scrolling past the latter, unattributed, on tumblr. Bartholl uses layers of paper and a light source to create a screen that pixelates shadows of the individual standing behind it. It’s an elegantly […]
I first stopped by Beth Galton’s portfolio when I caught this photo, which reminded me of this post; her food idiom photo series is absolutely worth a look. (Some of them are challenging to guess.) But what really thrilled me was Galton’s Cut Food series. I’ve returned to these pictures more than once, and I […]
