The Treats Truck.

The Treats Truck (aka ‘Sugar’) is like the Good Humor man for adults. It’s all thanks to Kim Ima who spends her days baking and serving treats on the streets of NYC. Oh, how I would love to catch her driving down the street this afternoon. Yet another reason to be jealous of New Yorkers!

The Treats Truck is packed full with boxes of freshly baked cookies, brownies and goodies. The TT offers a variety of baked goods that aren’t too fancy, but always fresh. There are even daily Specials!

One word. Yum.

David Pearson.

David Pearson creates some amazing book covers for Penguin. As if that’s not enough, the man actually designed the book cover for Penguin By Design – a book all about the history of the company’s books.


I’m loving the consistancy of the Great Loves series he designed. Check out the spines! All of his work is like that – extreme attention to details that make the whole that much more interesting.

Moscardino Sporks.

The spork is highly underated as a utensil. I love that these Moscardino sporks by Giulio Iacchetti and Matteo Ragni are sans handle. Seems like they’d make eating lunch a little like having tapas, but without the “Gross, now I have to go wash my hands” factor. You can pick up a set of twenty-five for $20 from the MoMA store.

Droog Design.

Straight outta Amsterdam Droog’s mentality is “creating innovative concepts that change perspective.” Their products connect with the user more than most, insisting upon interaction. Quite possibly one of the coolest aspects of Droog is that the core of their design work – Droog Lab – consists of designers the world over.

I’m digging these things at at their Shop right now: Do Frame, Sugar Cage and Twofold Napkins.

Deeply Divine Recline Sofa.

I first came across Ochre’s Deeply Divine Recline Sofa about a year ago and didn’t even know it. I saw the above photo on someone’s blog and pulled it to go into my little inspiration file. Then yesterday while perusing Ochre’s site I discovered – SHAZAM! – that they were in fact the makers of the much-coveted sofa. I love how in the photo it just looks so used. If I owned one I’m pretty sure there would be a permanent indent from my butt in one of the cushions.

Meet the Newest Member of the Family.

This past Sunday I braved the mall and about fifty people in the Apple Store to buy one of the new iPod Classsics. My other iPod (which is about to be sold on eBay – any takers??) is about four years old and only 10GB. I think I paid the same price for it as I did for my new 80GB. Damn technological advancements and their econmical repercussions. Anyway, the Classic has a beautiful wide screen and the same technology as the iPhone that allows you to flip through your music library by album cover. The one strange thing – the “white” is actually silver.

Benoit Broisat's Paper Sculptures.

I’m a graphic artist which does require a high degree of attention to detail. But I cannot begin to imagine having enough patience to create these beautiful paper sculptures by Benoit Broisat. Most are around 54″ wide and 16″ tall. That’s a lot of detail and lot of room for error. Check out CosmicGalerie to see more of Benoit’s work.
