backbones and shoelaces

I love that sweet spot of abstracting something just enough so that you can still tell what the object is but yet envision it as other objects. Hm. That might not have made sense all typed out like that. It sounded right in my head. Tell me what you think about this photo. To me the shoelaces resemble…

The Happy Show.

I fell in love with Chicago the day I moved here. Three years later, and I still think this city’s got it goin’ on. Beautiful summer days and free art shows. You have to check out The Happy Show by Stefan Sagmeister in the Cultural Center. It really gets you thinking. I know the sign at the…

The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh

bringing Tokyo to Texas

sweet, sweet Texas… There’s nothing like sipping on lemonade by a lake. I was just in Fredericksburg for a dear friend’s wedding. A big group of us stayed in a quaint little cottage right off the main street downtown. Picturesque doesn’t even begin to describe it. We went on a day long wine tour, ate…
