rodarte + me
I discovered ME magazine at McNally Robinson last weekend. This little journal is beautifully designed with ornamental flourishes and intriguing photos - but the best part is that the issue is entirely devoted to Rodarte. Some lovely shots of their clothes, q&a from friends like Jenny Lewis and Eleanor Friedberger, and an interview with the designers themselves. I love that everyone is asked who is their favorite Dickens character.

domaine de canton
these beautiful posters for a new ginger liqueur were all over soho - i'm not sure how i would like a ginger cocktail, but the i am intrigued by the sound of 'la coloniale' (2 parts Canton, 3 parts Hendricks gin)
gimme coffee
There's a new coffee place on Mott Street called Gimme Coffee. Despite the name, they have great coffee. They make a "Midnight Rider" which is an Americano with an extra shot of espresso. I can't stop thinking about how good it is.

ispot
I recently joined theispot, after using it myself for many years to find illustrators, and I am excited to be one of the featured illustrators on the what's new page. They recently redesigned the site and I think it is much easier to use and much nicer to look at!

Andrea Dezsö
Another great thing about the Pricked: Extreme Embroidery show at the Museum of Art and Design was discovering the work of Andrea Dezso. Her exhibit in the show was composed of whimsical interpretations of her mother's folk sayings - created in tiny, elegant embroidery. The sayings were hysterical and her illustrations absolutely lovely. It was awesome to look her up and find she has a vast and varied body of work - including public art, sculptures, paintings, and illustrations.

charlotte
Love this photo of Charlotte Gainsbourg by Nan Goldin in this week's New York Times Magazine. The series of photos were taken in the Musee de la Chasse et de la Nature. It's an incredibly unique space and one of my favorite museums. Below is a picture I took of that same bear.

book-by-its-cover: sketchbook series
I met the amazingly talented and prolific illustrator Julia Rothman last year - although I've known of her through her digital illustrations in CITY magazine for years. I especially love her hand-drawn illustrations. She recently created a line of letterpress cards for Hello Lucky and I so need to purchase a set of the chandelier cards.
She also must have the best book collection in the world and shares her passion for books on her book review site, book-by-its-cover.com. I've found so many inspiring books and artists through her site, and am very excited to announce that today Julia has featured my sketchbooks in her weekly sketchbook series.

blackstones
taxidermy, powdered wigs, pirate flags + rusty straight razors...Blackstones looks like an amazing place to get a haircut - and they have a beautiful business card.
pricked: extreme embroidery
Saw an amazing exhibit at the Museum of Art and Design on Friday. Angelo Filomeno's DEATH OF A BLINDED PHILOSOPHER was extraordinary...in person it is simply luminous.
