Courtesy of some sharp eyed readers and a friend of mine, I was alerted to a delightful happenstance over on A Continuous Lean.
Whilst visiting the Schott factory in NJ, manufacturers of fine leatherwear for bikers and military men alike, author Michael Williams snapped a photo of the stacks of boxed Made in USA labels which [...]
Greetings all -
I realize I’ve been away for a while, it’s been a busy couple months on this end (big-ol’ roadtrip + school-prep + new semester starting).
I thought I’d post a little bit about an upcoming project I’m working on. By project, I may in fact mean an upcoming life change as this could be [...]
So my european adventures are winding to a close, and in a lot of ways, I’ve begun the adjustment back already… By that I mean, I’ve started treating this trip as a vacation finally, playing the part of a homebody… sleeping in, leaving the apartment for only a few hours per day, etc.
I’ve been here [...]
Well I must admit, keeping 2 blogs, 2 flickrs, and e-mails updated on a limited and slow internet connection is very time-consuming and not quite enjoyable.
We’re down to the end, basically. The student exhibition opens (and closes) tomorrow on Murano. Saturday is a field trip to Tipoteca on the mainland, and Monday everyone flies home [...]
Holy shit, what a day. Jam packed with just about every aspect of art that Venice could have possibly offered today.
Let’s start with the fact that I MET SHEPARD FAIREY today. Don’t know who he his? Yes you do. He was installing his last pice of the week in Venice, raising money to help restoration [...]
Comma getcha palma treea…
Gross cultural generalizations aside, it’s easy to forget that everything but everything in venice comes in and leaves via boat. Food, drinks, concrete, bricks, lumber, supplies, trash… everything. Even palm trees… (edit: Turns out this was an art-piece… go figure…)
I even saw a barge the other day with not one, not two, but six [...]
You must forgive me (the 2 of you reading this blog) because I am here to write, but with no photos to show you. I have the camera but not card reader here in the studios.
I must admit, I was in a not-so-great mood yesterday… trying to figure out what on earth I was doing [...]
It’s sunday here, I think at this point it’s sunday everywhere more or less.
Slow internet connections and building lockdown has proved frustrating in terms of keeping this thing updated. If you’re super curious, the other one is a little more well maintained.
Today was nice, chill, quiet mostly. I caught up on the banal things like [...]
Ciao and buon giorno from Venice! I am here, safe and sound, and have finally found a moderately reliable internet signal.
Travels here was, how shall we say, interesting. We left DC on Monday evening, landed in CDG, Paris the next morning, and then sat through canceled flights and delays in Paris for 8 hours of [...]
