Nautical Flag Set

I’m mildly obsessed with this boxed collection of the entire set of the International Code of Signals, all depicted as wooden flags. A seriously good gift for the sailor at heart.

Happy (New York or Bust) Weekend

PHOTO: anne symons

 

 

You all were so gracious and supportive when I lost my job last month, it’s only fair I tell you about my next step that begins tomorrow. I’m heading off to New York for a long-term freelance job that will keep me there through the end of the year! Exciting stuff, for sure. I’m subletting a sweet little studio with a full kitchen in Fort Greene, Brooklyn and I couldn’t be more thrilled. After doing a fast tally, I realized I have many more friends in NYC than OKC and I’m looking forward to catching up with every single one while in town. I’ll keep you posted as everything unfolds, but in the meantime I hope you’ll forgive me if things slow down just the tiniest bit for the next week as I get adjusted to my new digs and schedule. Until then, here are a boatload of good things to keep you going.

You already know of my deep devotion to the mixtape, and now Daniel Freytag has captured it with simple lines and silver opaque ink on black paper. Get yours over on Editions of 100.

1/2

I’m completely infatuated with Jesús González Rodríguez’s 1/2, a mishmash of photos of the same person recreated into one portrait. They’re combined to make a portrait/headshot that is both beautiful and unnerving. (via Roger Allen)

Landscape

When I was about ten years old I became obsessed with drawing pool parties. And in them the girls diving into the water were always drawn with their hair hanging down, as if they were hanging upside down instead of throwing themselves into a body of water. It made sense at the time, I guess that’s how I viewed gravity. That’s what this landscape by Vikachu reminds me of, I love how the landscape builds vertically upon itself. And get this – ten dollars.
