Designer Workspaces Part Seven, Louise Fili

Here she is.  The classiest woman in New York City.  I feel qualified enough to say that.  Because I’ve been to NYC a number of times…and lived there a bunch of years and…I think it’s true.  May I present, please…..Louise Fili….and a tart. When Deborah, Mitch and I went to visit her in NYC a [...]

New Blue Q Shopper by Roman Klonek

Roman Klonek designed one of my favorite new bags that we loving like to call “Chicken or the Egg”. and also in Russian (the backside): Here’s his website – I love the homepage: Roman is from Poland (Kattowitz) and now lives in Germany.  Got all that?  He studied Graphic Arts in Duesseldorf and discovered a [...]

Vintage inspired Air Mail Zipper Pouch. [...]

Her work is just vibrant symmetry with birds and flowers dripped in electric color that is amazingly hard not to stare at. This [...]

Designer Workspaces, Part Four – Christopher Silas Neal

I love this guy’s work.  He’s older now though. Do you know him?  Christopher Silas Neal?  I first saw his work on Thumbtack Press a couple of years ago (a great site for affordable art, by the way).  But he’s everywhere really.  He does most of the illustrations for the New York Times Modern Love [...]

 This IS Jesus Had A Sister Productions.  In case you were wondering.  Also known as, Dana Wyse.  Blue Q’s Art Director, Mitch Nash, first saw her pills at a museum in Los Angeles.  He brought them back to the office and thus began the years long relationship.
