landscapes

one can find a landscape in anything .... as you can see in the following photos:

a sports stadium surrounded by office buildings
a dense downtown hub filled with skyscrapers
utility plants, along with rain water harvesting and solar panels
public transportation, including a railway system and courtyard housing
that's my house on the right
where the trains turn around and go back
our city!

maybe this'll be my theme for the next few posts ... it's great for the ol' imagination.

check out manufactured landscapes ... an incredible documentary.

sunday cook









I guess watching 'Julie and Julia' inspired a Sunday filled to the brim with cooking ... but then again so did going to the farmer's market. It was fun, but I'm exhausted ...

my favorite etsy shop right now ... I bet you can't guess what I bought ...

felt like posting some old photos...three different photos from three different cities, but with a theme, right? (nyc, houston, and san antonio, respectively)

found this amazing site, via ms. corwin.

around the house





shots from around the house...interesting to see how they all go together.


I finally got around to doing a semi-full mock up of a roll of paper (with several different options rolled) went through a lot of label designs but I think I've finally settled on one. still working on the actual production.

they do nice work

sunday paper




designs for paper/textile that I've been working on ... inspired by burglar bars. maybe I should call it BARseries ... ? no real name as of yet for this collection, still working on it. I think I like the fact that its all grayscale ... a wrapped gift can have a huge, colorful bow on a monotone backdrop (shown).
