Jason Hoelscher
Out walking with 1/2 of DoubleButter today and he pointed out this guys work in a gallery. Big, bright, and generally just interesting. Kind of graphic design or icon-like, but I think they go past that.
Now showing at the Rule Gallery.

Escape to Joshua Tree
Found this house available for rent on a nice site called airbnb that is similar to VRBO but in a much nicer web site package. It offers some really unique properties – night in a castle anyone? including this black modern gem near Joshua Tree.

Off the Hanger: Substitute Teacher
Barely out of college I started substitute teaching. I looked so young I figured I’d try and find some old man teacher stereotype clothing – my oversized concert t’s, grunge flannels, and faded jeans just weren’t going to cut it. I also grew a beard to try and age myself a bit – of course [...]

Off the Hanger: Stockholm
I was sent a pair of selvedge denim (thanks!) and found a book of matches from the Berns Hotel in the pocket. Got me curious about where models smoke so looked it up and found it’s a gem in the heart of Stockholm, Sweden. Since travel ranks high on my favorites list, I thought about [...]

Colorado Whiskey
For me, this is the time of year for whiskey. Or maybe time of year is just a convenient excuse. At any rate, local favorite Stranahan’s just moved their operation into my neighborhood.

Pashley Cycles
The local bike shop is bringing these in and man do they look sweet. Just a few of their interesting points are the 28″ wheels, hub brakes and the way the rear fork bolts on. That Guv’nor (top) is calling my name. Check ‘em out.

Off the Hanger: Simple Saturday
Enjoying the Indian Summer we’re experiencing here in early November. Last week 2′ of snow, this week 70 and beautiful blue sky. It’s got me feeling optimistic, so much so that I even believe that motorcycle might be running by end of day….
Pants (rated highly for motorcycle riding)
Sweater
Jacket
Belt
Boots (thanks 10engines)
Watch (I know watch lovers, I [...]

Japanese Folk Monsters
I think some of these would be great prints. They come from a book by Manga artist Shigeru Mizuki. The top is my favorite, here’s an excerpt of his “powers”:
“The Makura-gaeshi (”pillow-mover”) is a soul-stealing prankster known for moving pillows around while people sleep. The creature is invisible to adults and can only be seen [...]
Jeff Smith
If you’re in NYC this week drop by The Argot Network (37 West 20th) Thursday night to see Jeff’s 2 to 3 D opening. Not only does he “upcycle” all the wood in his pieces, but he’s a heck of a nice guy. So say hello. And if you have some time, stop by his [...]
