Sheisa,

A killer visualization from David McCandless and InformationIsBeautiful.net. Pretty to look at and shitty to think about.

Just tinkering around with my Canon S90’s macro functions and realized how little gummy bears resemble actual furry bears.

Deep huh?

Hot Pink Pantsuit VS. Bright Green Carpet

I was just going through some pics I snapped last week at NYIGF and found an image that will fascinate anyone that has studied color theory.

This nice lady entertained my fascination with the electric dissonance between her hot pink outfit and the event’s bright green carpeting.

New York International Gift Fair is in full swing (NYIGF ). If you are attending, we’d love to see you. Through Wednesday August 18th, 2010

Our display resides in Booth #3901 in the “Accent on Design” section. The whole area is clad in carpet of a hard-to-define color I like to call “electric bile green”. Quite charming, you can’t miss it.

Porcelain “Lens” Necklaces

Whereas the acrylic stuff is funky and fun, these porcelain”lens” necklaces are elegant and delicious. Those words aren’t really dichotomously opposed pairs. Eh well.

Nevertheless, the single disks (black, red, white) are on long chains, so they can double as soy sauce dishes if you find yourself at a sushi picnic with no vessel.

The “constellation” necklace features white porcelain lenses connected with oxidized sterling silver hardware. Not too shabby if I do say so myself.
