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 [...]

Stolen Goods!

Our dear friend and extremely talented designer, Helen Dardik, has had her work stolen.  It happens.  Unfortunately.  But honestly, it never seems to go unnoticed.  This world is waaaaay too small.

Maggie Mailer is a Sunny Angel

There is a local artist around these parts who we just love and adore.  Maggie Mailer – and she just had an exhibit open Saturday night at the Ferrin Gallery in Pittsfield, Ma.  So, I’m walking around admiring the colors, the mood of these pieces – I ain’t no art critic, but I really dug [...]

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 [...]

Nelson Mandela Car Air Freshener

Let’s look at this Blue Q car air freshener closely, shall we? Every once in a while there’s a Blue Q product that gets a TON of attention.  This time, it’s this one; the Nelson Mandela Car Air Freshener. Damn Nelson Mandela, you smell so good! It was designed by Mother NYC. Sometimes, they think [...]

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 [...]
