PGH / Digs

I’m thrilled to finally be able to share the latest work of my friend Dane Horvath, PGH / Digs is an art and architectural documentary focusing on residential homes in the city of Pittsburgh (my hometown) through graphic illustrations. Ranch, town, Victorian – no style is excluded from Horvath’s project. You can even commission a house of your own in Dane’s hand, Pittsburgher or not. And I’m crossing my fingers that prints are soon to follow! (See more of her creativity at Steeltown Anthem and Reconstructing Ideas.)

What Will You Make Today?

Massimo Vignelli has five decades of award-winning book design under his belt, so it’s only natural that he would support Mohawk‘s What Will You Make Today? campaign by co-developing a limited edition journal. Any designer knows how integral the grid is to designing, and the 7 x 7″ journal includes 100 interior pages with 24 perfect rectangles on each as well as debossed front and back covers with the same design.

Vignelli’s grid explanation is fantastic,“The grid is an integral part of book design. It’s not something that you see. It’s just like underwear: you wear it, but it’s not to be exposed. The grid is the underwear of the book.”

Astier de Villatte + Patch NYC

What happens when two shops – one in France, the other in Boston – both with cult followings team up for a collaboration? No, the universe does not implode but I get very excited. Astier de Villatte (known for homespun plates and candles) and PATCH NYC (specializing in home decor and accessories) have partnered for a series of plates and notebooks featuring whimsical drawings. Such a natural project for these two, you can check out the entire collection right here.

The Daily Dish

Klari Reis is painting and sharing a petri dish every day for all of 2013 in The Daily Dish (she also did it in 2009). Reis creates each painting using reflective epoxy polymer, with the end result being very photorealistic. And if you think the paintings are good check out the names – titles like Moshing at a Pearl Jam Concert, Uma Thurman, and Eggplants in the Snow this project just gets better. Check in every day for the newest piece!
