I played around with MoMA’s brand new Art Lab iPad App. The fun app features art by Henri Matisse, Elizabeth Murray, Jean (Hans) Arp, and others. It lets you create sound compositions, shape poems, group drawings and shape collages. It’s quite impressive to see what the digital in-house team at the MoMA is able to release. They are quite a digital powerhouse.
The MoMA Art Lab app is intended for ages seven and up. Can’t wait to show it to my daughter tonight!
I just had the most lovely interaction with a photgrapher named Pascal Perich here in my studio. During our photo shoot he shared some colorful stories of his life as a photographer. Definitely the most fun I’ve ever had during a photo shoot. Plus, Pascal’s work is stunning. See for yourself.

I can not think of a better stamp to put on a letter I am about to mail out. Ready for Adventure Rubber Stamp by Ann-Marie Morris.
I find ring boxes you get from a typical jewelry store quite boring. I was excited to discover Pixie, a faceted ring box made from recycled wood.
These Straws are not only biodegradable but also stylish!
A big thank you to Shillington School for sponsoring my RSS feed this week.

This hand-pulled screenprint by Kyle & Courtney Harmon *must* go up at Studiomates. Conan O’Brien is a wise man.

Peel & Stick Shirt Pocket by Ryan Vanderbilt. Silly and lovely at the same time.
This Set of Snug Magnets is beautiful. I could see myself playing with these, for hours.
I am pretty sure my six year old would be gaga over this adorable shoe rack. It allows you to store up to 4 pairs of shoes in a small amount of space with. You can adjust the height between tiers for a custom fit.
My friend Julia brought me a multipack of these lovely Graphite Pencils from Moderna Museet in Stockholm. Each one features a quotation to fit any mood or situation and are made from laquered quality graphite. Lovely!
Blurb’s Instagram Books make me so happy. Can’t wait until my son’s It’s Hard Being Two Tumblr has enough images to make a book out of it. We live in such an exciting time. The fact, that anyone (with a computer and internet connection) can create books on the fly, is simply amazing.
I love the internets.
If the pricetag wasn’t as hefty, I would totally get one of these Vintage Coolers for Studiomates, our co-working space.
Love this vintage inspired Bistro Bench.
Anyone remember this easter egg in QuarkXPress, when deleting a text box with the shortcut Cmd+Alt+Shift+K? (Keep watching the video until you see the big giant green mama monster come out… Patience!)
