This movie is truly inspiring. It definitely gives you something to take away after you watch it. Some of the things those artists say in the movie hit you in your heart. It’s making a screening all over the US (NYC one just got done last weekend) if you have a chance, I highly recommend that you go see it!

Also, they are having “Make Something!!” workshop in SF (I wish I could go check it out!):

At the IFC center, there were 3 pairs of “Beautiful Losers” Nike sneakers:

IFC Center also offers these fun T-shirts:

I came across this alpha coffee table from Crate & Barrel – it was inspired by a Paris flea market find. It makes me wanna go to one!
I like the design and each different wood types.

I went to catch the last chance to see RENT last night – it is closing its door after being on Broadway for 12 years this weekend on September 7th. I guess it is the 7th-longest-running Broadway show and it won lots of awards including Tony Award.
The Nederlander Theatre:


The stage before it starts:

It is always an awesome experience to see musicals, get to feel lots of energy and to see some of the best performancers in the world is just amazing.
I enjoyed it very much!

I can’t believe it’s September already! It’s still hot in here, but I know fall is coming right soon… I don’t want summer to be over yet, though, I’m excited about fall, too, must be pretty.
Anyway, on Saturday, I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to catch the Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy exhibition before it ended (yesterday) and I am so glad I got to see it! It was so awesome!
The Met:

The entrance:

Went straight to the Superheros exhibition – no picture was allowed so this is from the website. The exhibition was grouped by the different body type/superhero and there were real costumes that were worn in the movies as well. It was amazing to see how each designer (Dior, Jean Paul Gaultier, Bernhard Willhelm, Dolce & Gabbana… to name a few) was inspired by the superheroes and put their own vision into it and create something new. oh and all the mannequins were wearing amazing shoes!

Got to also see Jeff Koons work on the roof:



The roof has the view of Manhattan and Martini bar! (Friday and Saturday) You can also have Café drinks and food including beer and wine everyday.

Also saw J. M. W. Turner exhibition. Great artisit. Loved his usage of colors, dipiction of the sky, sun, and the lights on all of his paintings.
It is a huge museum and there a lot more to see, but that was all we could do. The museum store is great, too!

Hope everyone is having a nice long weekend! I’m going to do something that I never done before (it was one of my assignments when I was in art school and since then, it’s always on my list of things to do) and I will come back tomorrow to report about it.

Yes, Maia is coming with us, too!

I have been a fan of Elvis Swift, I love his work, the lines he draws have its own voice and rhythm.




When I used to work at the agency, we were getting so many mailers from artists and photographers and his mailer was definitely one of my favorites and I still keep it for my inspirations.

I stopped by Anthrolologie yesterday and saw this card – very nice!
I like the loong “O” and the overall layout and of course the texture on the letters. Colors are very autumn, too.

I saw this ad when I was walking around in SOHO – it is made with the football-field-like material and spray painted on top. They have the “Is it Monday yet?” campaign for a while now and it’s always fun to look at. I like this one!

I redesigned a blog for LAMA by using word press template and customized it for LAMA. I think it looks clean and simple, consistent with the store site so I’m happy how it came out. Christine is going to be posting a lot of cool stuff and it is already bookmarked for my daily read!
I’m doing a few more blog designs now and I am forced to learn PHP and CSS… it is interesting how everything works and I want to be fluent… someday…
