I like this old school 1980’s looking graphics and the text goes with my mood right now…. A is for Awesome… heading out on a last minute, spontaneous trip to Colorado.

Incredible and such an inspiration! Last night I went to see Shigeru Ban speak at the MFA in Boston. He is an unbelievable architect, humanitarian, and innovator with a humble demeanor, great wit, amazing ingenuity, awe-inspiring creativity, and absolutely wonderful creations. He had the audience laughing and in awe! A few years ago I was fortunate enough to see his Nomadic Museum in Santa Monica, CA. It is a traveling exhibition displaying the works of Gregory Colbert. I was completely blown away. The architecture and photographs fit seamlessly together…so peaceful and beautiful. Check out the link ashes and snow.

I love the way Cole Gerst seamlessly combines his painterly style with his graphic design influence within these highly conceptual paintings. Great use of Trader Joe bags!
I have really taken a liking to sewing. I have a long way to go and alot to learn but I am having a ton of fun experimenting. This is my third garment I have sewed and some earrings that I made to match.
These intricate, well composed paper cuttings by Pablo Lehmann are astounding. They are beautiful from afar and purely amazing from close up. To see more of his fabulous work click here .

Recently I have been hooked on three songs by the band MATTAFIX: Big City Life, Freeman, and Things Have Changed. They have a great beat and go with this beautiful spring weather, which we took advantage of today. We started our day off with an early morning mountain bike ride in Lynn Woods and spent the afternoon hiking in the Fellsway. Here are a couple of photos I took of Derek during our ride. And check out Mattafix’s music.
Here are some of my sketches from the past few weeks.

Ben Tour‘s figurative paintings have a haunting and evocative quality to them. I love the minimal use of watery color , the sketchy line quality, and the use of white space.
I always like seeing interesting and creative business cards. Here are some that I thought are pretty unique.
