I have finally buckled down, and have started to use my Svpply account just in time for Christmas. Designer Mark Weaver who I follow on Twitter tweeted “@Svpply is the new xmas list”, and it is true. If you’re new to Svpply it’s a quick place you can add items from almost any e-commerce site on the web to Your Supply. Clothes on J.Crew, a book on Amazon, or a gadget...

This past weekend I jumped on the opportunity to check out the 3rd annual Pop-Up Flea which set-up shop in SoHo. Accompanied by my friend Greg and my girl Mackenzie we checked it on a Saturday. It was packed (compared to these photos) with the best dressed dandies and urban woodsmen of all New York City. Someone I follow on Twitter even thought to tweet on how good looking of a crowd it was. It...

Totally in love with Kate & Andy Spades apartment in New York which was shot by The Selby which has a very curated blog with only weekly posts of one amazing place. This week it was really exciting to look inside of the Spades. It’s been the closest idea of my dream New York apartment from front door to back. The idea of family furniture with a mix of today (not IKEA) as well as plenty...

I’m no smoker, but a Williamsburg Blue Camel cigarettes seems to be on it’s way. Huh? Once the clock hits midnight, and 2011 hits, start looking for these Brooklyn addition cigarettes. Camel continues to blatantly direct their focus on youth. I’ve only lived in Williamsburg for about a year and a half, but it’s obvious the only people see who will actually smoke these...

WatchI am not at all a watch guy. I actually don’t like wearing anything on my wrists, neck, ears, nose and especially not my ankle (people still do that?). On the other hand I love most watches design, but I’m picky. Simpler the better. There is a fine line between bulky and sleek, and I think my general turn off from men’s watches is that they are strictly too bulky, as if your...

WatchI came across Jessica Hische about two years ago when I saw the pieces she did for The Boston Globe, depicting scenes on Why We Love Boston in Winter. I especially loved the couple going to the movie, because that is what my girlfriend Mackenzie and I did plenty of nights at the theater on the boarder of the Boston Common, while attending school. Ever since then I’ve seen Hische on every...

Halloween is in the rearview mirror, and we are already whipping right through November, and when Thanksgiving is over it means it’s shopping season for the masses. Christmas shopping for me always means the last few days before rush, no matter how many times I tell myself to get it over with early. It never happens. As we approach I want to post some of my favorite things before you see...
Teaming up with Little Anchor has really helped me reconnect with the pen and paper, but the best thing coming out of working with Alexa and company is connecting with other artists they play with and know. In the past I’ve worked on a couple of Christy Thompson’s fliers, and of recent Uncles. The guys of Uncles came to me to commission a poster for their tour this weekend with...
I’ve been doing a lot of pen illustrations, but vector image shapes in a variety of colors might be my true love. Really digging the work by Patrick Hruby which include two of my favorite things. Great colors, and geometric shapes. Check out some of these pieces below, and also on his site.
The creative process is a wild ride and some don’t make it out alive. Check out the map, and the best route to take. Close-up.
If you check out a lot of design blogs every day like myself you might have noticed a bit of a trend of movie posters series, city poster series, television poster series and on, and on, and on. It’s driving me a little crazy, as it seems everyone and their grandma are making poster series for something they like even if there is no meaning, reason, or concept behind it. I feel like...
