Food Sketches is a graphic diary of dishes Erin Jang has eaten. It immediately mades me think back to college design classes and reinterpretation assignments. A great example of less being more and food looking tasty no matter the medium.

Part of me thinks the Mobile Foodie Survival Kit is mind-blowing, the other part is mildly embarrassed of the first part. The portable kit includes Sea Salt, Black Pepper, Cayenne, Onion, Basil, Conventional Wasabi, Cinnamon, Oregano, Garlic, Thyme, Curry, Ginger, and Dill.
For foodies, nothing is scarier than being in a strange place where you’re subject to sub-par food. The horror! With this handy Mobile Foodie Survival Kit, you can doctor up even the most repulsive meal. Stocked with organic herbs and spices, plus indispensable extras like wasabi. Containers are unlabeled so they can be re-used for your favorite spices (separate key included).

Most summers I’m the one creating the mixtapes, but this year I’m the one sitting back and enjoying everyone else’s musical mixing prowess. These eight have had some heavy rotation time, enjoy!

This little Light ‘n Go Bonfire Log is brilliant on so, so many levels. Here are five to start you off.
1. You can burn the birch stump indoors or out, no fireplace or pit needed because it’s completely self-contained!
2. Totally affordable (for real).
3. It comes in two sizes that burn up to two hours.
4. It looks good while doing it.
5. Great for lazy people like me who have forgotten to make a firepit in their backyard for the four years they’ve own their home.
As PANTONE continues its plot for world domination (hoorah!), Angelica Dass is in the midst of an on-going chromatic cataloguing project of human skin tones – Humanae. Dass bases each background Pantone swatch on an 11×11 pixel swatch of the model’s face, you can check out the complete catalogue in its most up to date state on her site.

Gorgeous geometric jewelry from Leah Singh! Each piece is directly inspired by Singh’s cultural heritage in India and the systematic grid layout of New York where she attended Parson’s.
From the artist: Our jewelry is made with bone, a by-product of abattoirs and the local farming industry of India. Bone began to be used as a craft material after the ban on ivory. No animals are harmed to obtain the bone.
