I Am The Friction is a book of illustration and very short fiction, written and drawn in the absence of better judgement and a copy editor. It has two covers and reads from both directions: One half of the book is composed of stories inspired by illustrations, while the other contains illustrations inspired by stories. It's really quite nice. You can find it here.

So I FINALLY went to the Folk Art Museum to see the Dargerism show.

AMAZING. If you can, go! I've never been to the Folk Art Museum before and I thought it was fantastic. Not just the Dargerism show inspired me, the whole damn place was filled with amazing art.

Etsy find

These hammered brass rings / earrings are painted with layers of colorful patinas. You will notice that the finished patina does not result in a solid bright color, but rather a soft watercolor-like finish. As the patina reacts with the metal, the concentration and saturation of color varies along the surface, reminding one of a watercolor painting. This adds quite a unique, weathered and earthy character.

POP-UP SHOP

The Gap is opening a Colette pop-up shop for one month in NYC, and while this seems very rad, I know it will be not so rad for me because A. things like this in NY means SO CROWDED YOU WANT TO CRY and B. 54th st? That means I have to go on the weekends, meaning even more crazy crowds.
