I love the new Barneys New York holiday catalog. The illustrations by Andy Warhol are so amazingly cute. I love his illustrations so much!

Artist: Jeana Sohn
Tuesday, December 5th, 2006
I was paging through Tiny Showcase and came across a print by artist Jeana Sohn which immediately caught my attention. It’s so lovely, but unfortunately sold out. The above image is a painting which is on her site. I love the Russian story book feeling to her pieces. They are minimal in coverage but incredibly narrative.
Great Gift: Studio Job
Monday, December 4th, 2006
I was admiring Candy Pratt’s holiday gift guide on style.com of all things white, and came across these amazing plates by Studio Job for Royal Tichelaar Makkum. I highly recomend checking out the Royal Tichelaar Makkum site, artists such as Hella Jongerius and so on have made amazing contemporary ceramics through Royal.

Zine Alert: Damian Weinkrantz
Wednesday, November 8th, 2006
Here are some of my favorite images from Damian Weinkrantz (philadelphia’s favorite bar bouncer)’s new zine, General Truths. The sadness in the general’s eyes is so haunting. I’m totally obsessed with this zine, I keep paging through it over and over again. It’s now available at Market East (a great website jam packed with local Philly artists) for a mere $3.
Movie to watch: Monsieur Ibrahim
Tuesday, November 7th, 2006
I just watched Monsieur Ibrahim last night, and I must say it’s the most beautiful movie I’ve seen in a long time. The story centers around a handful of prostitutes that befriend Moses (the boy in the pic). All of the prostitutes have the best clothing and all of the rooms in the film are covered with the most exquisite wallpaper, bedding, and pillows. This movie is a great inspiration for all you design minded readers.

Check out Molly Smith’s new show at K.S. Gallery (73 Leonard St, NY,NY). Her line weight is beautifully soothing and dream-like.
Art: Birdie Lusch
Monday, October 23rd, 2006
I love these collages by Birdie Lusch. They are fashioned out of old postage stamps, magazine clippings, and interjections of her line work. Birdie was a self taught artist who spent her life laboring in a ball bearing factory, and made these imaginative collages in her free time. To see more of her work check out KS Art’s website.
