Free Download: The Owl Calendar 2010
Our final project for Design Fundamentals, other than our design journal, was a calendar. We needed to show a change over time or some sort of metamorphosis while also displaying the 2010 calendar.
I started sketching some cute, boxy little owls, and created a little love story between the two of them. I didn’t know how [...]
A Day of Immersive Art on Pittsburgh’s North Side
I finally got to head back to Pittsburgh for a second visit and I arived in the city on the brink of summer. Everything in lush and green, the sun is out and my allergies are making my nose run and eyes itch.
Like my last trip, I’ve had a good amount of time to wander [...]
The Hammer Museum: ‘What Manner of Person Art Thou’ and other exhibits
Last weekend, Evan, my friend Laura and I went to the Hammer museum to see “What Manner of Person Art Thou” and the other exhibits. Though the Hammer is a small museum, it has some really wonderful works and frequently changing exhibits.
We started with the Francesca Gabbiani-curated collection of images that have to do with [...]
East Hollywood ArtCycle
Yesterday, Evan and I headed over the East Hollywood ArtCycle to check out the scene and see some art. While it wasn’t quite as large an event as we’d imagined, it was still quite nice. There were bands and other groups performing — our favorite that we saw was a band called Confessions of a [...]
Data + Art at the PMCA
Last night, Evan and I went to the opening of the Data + Art exhibit at the Pasadena Museum of California Art. The show explores how data can be explored, visualized, filtered and even set to music for the sake of understanding, expression or art.
The opening display was a collage mosaic of photos, charts, medical [...]
Someone Once Told Me “I’m a Nose Man”
Back in October, I was asked to participate in an online photography and storytelling project called Someone Once Told Me, started by Mario Cacciottolo. He showed up at the Coach and Horses for Tuttle Club on the one day of my trip to London I was able to make it, and he asked just about [...]
Getting Out of London City Center: Oxford, Eltham and Chiselhurst
Oxford
Oxford
On our London trip, one of our goals was to actually spend time OUT of the city since we hardly ventured out when we were living there because we were so busy, and Evan wasn’t able to go with me to Oxford, Cambridge or Brighton. Our first day trip was to Oxford. We hopped on [...]
12 Days in Istanbul
Sorry I haven’t written in a while — the keyboards in Istanbul are a bit hard to type on because some of the letters and punctuation marks are in different places, and I just haven’t spent too much time in front of the computer lately. Good thing I’ve been writing about my days in a [...]
Brighton Beach Outdoor Art
When I was in Brighton, I couldn’t help but notice some very loud buildings and other outdoor art. Take a look…
A building-size tribute to James Brown
Close-up of some more graffiti-style art
Different styles coming together on different parts of a building
Graffiti on a wall: Who needs actions when you got paint. Are those CCTV cameras stenciled [...]
Finishing the National Portrait Gallery
Sunday, Evan and I finally made it back to the National Portrait Gallery to see the rest of the exhibits, including the Vanity Fair special exhibit.
The museum is consistently great — even on my third trip, I felt I was still learning things and being introduced to new people. And I was still interested in [...]
The Londonist Eye, Social Media Mafia and Your Weekly Reading
Well, it’s been a busy week to say the least. I started an internship at Hachette Filipacci, wrote a new Entrepreneur.com article (you’ll see it soon) and still managed to write Londonist posts four out of five days.
I also managed to make it to the Museum of London for a pub quiz last night with [...]
Monster Maker at MoMA
One of the most delightful exhibits we saw at MoMA, part of the Design and the Elastic Mind special exhibit, was an interactive monster maker that would turn your silhouette into a monster by adding fins, scales, eyeballs and other protrusions on the screen in front of you. It also grunted, roared and made other [...]

Museum Hopping: Tate Modern, National Gallery, Portrait Gallery
While my parents were here, I got to go to a lot of museums. More than I’d been to since I’ve been here. The first one we hit was the Tate Modern, which was incredible.
The first must-see was Shibboleth (pictured), also known as the giant crack in the floor that spans the whole building. The [...]
