Snapshots…
A couple of quick mobile pics from this weekend’s SoWa Open Market opener (summer is here - at least unofficially). My favorite vendor by far was Painted Pretty, with refurbished old furniture out of their Abington studio. See their flickr fo...
The bright side(s).
It was absolutely freezing in Boston this weekend… the kind of weather that makes me wonder why I live here - below-freezing temps, blustery winds, early sundown - the works. Cruel, cruel, times! I foolishly attempted to take a stroll to meet...
Organisms.
I wrote about Brooklyn sculptor Tara Donovan a while back, and was lucky enough to see some of her work in person last night at the ICA. The exhibit runs through January 4 and I highly, highly recommend seeing it if you’re in the area. Donovan...
Small Square Design.
Seriously sweet letterpressed cards, tags, and other items from Basak Notz’s San Francisco-based Small Square Design. I love the sketchy, doodly feel of these designs. For more, check out the etsy shop or Basak’s blog, full of mistakes....
Irresistibly absurd.
It’s birthday season in my social circle and in the midst of all the attendant events, a friend introduced me to the Los Angeles stationer Fomato. Unidentifiable bloblike creatures (that seem vaguely inspired by contemporary Japanese graphic de...
Wine and olives.
An excerpt from a recent gchat (as you can see, we apparently think about food all workday)… 11:28 AM Melissa: i am brainstorming for our date 11:37 AM Melissa: i was thinking rustic kitchen because they have amazing olives 11:39 AM me: ooo you...
Flora & Fauna.
Art-loving Bostonians will be happy to know that Space 242 in the South End is opening their fifth exhibition of the year today: Flora & Fauna, featuring illustrations, paintings, and mixed media by Joe Keinberger and Sarah Coyne. The opening r...
Books for cooks.
From Angela Liguori, a gorgeous accordion-fold book that looks just as delicious as the Italian recipes printed upon it. Its beauty really lies in the details - a little modern, a little Victorian… I like it! Angela was originally trained in ...
Just for funsies.
Some pretty springtime shots from this weekend - going down Clarendon Street before the Artwalk (scenes like this are what make the winter almost worth it)… …and in Brookline later, a fat sun-dappled bunch of hydrangea and heather that I...
Artwalk 2008.
Yesterday was a fine day for an open studios visit, and the Fort Point Artwalk definitely delivered. Here are a few shots from my wanderings around this art-loving neighborhood in Southie (which, as I discovered on Saturday evening on my way to see ...
FPAC Artwalk 2008.
For those of you who will be in the Boston area this coming weekend, don’t miss the Fort Point Arts Community’s Artwalk 2008, featuring the open studios of several local artists (including Katie Rowley and Bob’s Your Uncle, who I bo...
Katie Rowley.
I was housing a grilled roast chicken sandwich at South End bakery Flour recently when my eyes drifted from the remains of my fatty panini, dripping melted brie, to the eccentric straw-blown work by local artist Katie Rowley hung up on the walls. He...
At long last.
Ork’s Boston screenprints are now available! I snapped up the red, but they’re also available in Boston Blue and Irish Green (just in time for St. Patty’s). Share This...
February First Friday!
Fridays are nice, but First Fridays are even better. Getting a peek at new art, chatting up emerging artists, and a big fat dinner in the South End - what a perfect way to pass an evening. Here are some shots from February First Friday, where we sa...
Prints Charming, recapped.
A few friends and I made our way deep into the South End on Friday night to see the Prints Charming, the first show in the Design Nearby series at pinkcomma gallery that I wrote about last week. I was so excited to see such great work from Boston-ar...
Prints Charming.
Ah! I can’t wait to check out the Prints Charming exhibition at pinkcomma gallery in Boston next Friday. The show is the first of an exhibition series that will showcase inventive Boston-area design in disciplines including housewares, fashi...
We interrupt our regularly scheduled broadcast to say…
…Go Sox! It makes me smile to see this view when I turn onto my street after work. Image source: left, right. addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.parsiri.com%2F2007%2F10%2F26%2Fgo-sox%2F'; addthis_title = 'We+interrupt+our+regularly+s...
