Tote Bag Show

This tote design was made to promote a tote bag show at the Open Space Gallery in Beacon, NY. The other side says ‘BAG’ in a nice script by Andy Rementer, but I was too lazy to photograph it. All proceeds go to the Hudson River Clearwater. Other bagmakers include Justin Fines,Rich Jacobs, C125, and August Heffner.

The stealthy and marvelous design blog Kitsune Noir has been giving away arty desktoppers for your computer and your iPod all year. A great collection of designers and illustrators have signed on, but they’re to be leaked out slowly to give you a week or so to appreciate each new style. Inside sources have it that some good names are coming up, certainly worth keeping tabs on.

I Know Where the Summer Goes

The Team Gallery is showing some more terrific photos by Ryan McGinley. The fact that some shots resembled an Abercrombie catalogs with skinnier models does nothing to take away from their subversively wholesome nostalgic perviness. The opening was packed full of trendy types all secretly wishing they were naked teenagers laughing on a trampoline in the late summer sun.

... from Chinatown, NYC. I can’t read what the sign says, but I’d imagine it has something to do with a new KAWS toy.

Gravis Baggage

I worked on a series of patterns for the Gravis company last year and was pleased to see they made good use of my geographical weather-map camo. It appears on both genders of baggage in a couple different colors all viewable here . I’ll give a more passionate endorsement when I receive some samples and make sure they look okay. Thanks Amy & Brett !
