Brooklyn Chic: Part II

Hey, wow, look: I just got a note that the second round of my curated collection is up and going strong over at Felt & Wire Shop. Take a look-see and let me know what you think--dig any of them?

I am especially fond of the "loved loved loved" card by Blue Pool Road (love love love that Peggy Wong). And I also dig the "You are Fun" letterpress note by Give Studio. I think it's mostly because I feel like those are the kind of cards I'd probably write if I was a card-writer lady. (Which I am sometimes, but that's a whole other blog post, folks.) It's almost as if they pulled those lines right out of my busy little brain, I tells ya. Go get 'em!

Monday’s Pick: Anatomy Pillow

Artist You'll Love: Christoph Niemann

Wanted to start the week off with a bang by delivering another great guest post from my girl Leah. Thanks again, LB!

I love looking at unique and cool and pretty pictures and drawings as much as the next guy or gal, but combine it with humor and I will absolutely adore it. Christoph Neimann's work is that perfect combination.

You may have come across some of his work in the New York Times on his Abstract City blog. If you haven't, it is definitely one to check out. His artful way of seeing mundane things is hilarious, such as this image from his post on maps.

"My Way to an Omelet"

You can also find him in the bookstore. In addition to numerous children's books, he's done a few NYC-centric books such as "I Lego NY". First off, who doesn't love Legos!?? Add some funny and I'm hooked.

If you're a reader of magazines, you've likely seen his work more than once. In addition to numerous The New Yorker covers and inside illustrations, you can find him in Wired, Inc, and many others. You can even buy prints of your faves on his portfolio site. Check it out for more brilliantly witty pieces that are the perfect match-up of artistic talent and smarts.
