Do you have any idea how hard it is to find cool stuff for boys? All the sites out there — Zulily, I’m looking at you — pander to girls and pretty things. Finally something with a little edge and wit plopped into my inbox via Fab (like Zulily, you must have a subscription to view). The playful designs are by Brooklyn based shop, Gnome Enterprises; for boys and girls too. Now that’s fab.
Here’s an invite to Fab — just in case. Lot’s of awesome modern design stuff for the home.

La la laaa, who’s ready for fall? I am! How witty is this fall watercolor by illustrator, Graham Roumieu? :) Today, just so happens to be Graham’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Graham! And happy Fall to everyone! I’m praying for a little chill in the air.
Jesse Lenz illustrates Newsweek cover for 9/11

In honor of 9/11, I thought I would post illustrator, Jesse Lenz’s latest creation for the Andrew Sullivan cover story that Newsweek is running. I am such a fan of Jesse’s style. The simple photo-illustration next to the bold, black and white typography is stunning isn’t it? (full disclosure, I’ve worked with Jesse a bunch of times at the mag.) Nice work Jesse!
Summer Solstice: Takashi Murakami graces the Google Doodle

Oh happy summer, it’s the longest day of the year! My love, Takashi Murakami has graced the Google Doodle homepage with his iconic flower-faced characters, Kaikai & Kiki! I’m sorry, I know I’ve been quiet. Eventually, I will stop apologizing and get to work. It’s been so hard for me to concentrate and blog because all I want to do is be on summer vacation. I hope your summer is off to a good start. Sending warm breezes and love your way!

Takashi Murakami’s parade float
December 7, 2010 at 12:19 pm | Posted in contemporary art, design, illustrator, pop culture | 2 CommentsTags: cable television, japanese art, Kaikai, Kiki, macy's day parade, rockettes, takashi murakami
There are many times when I wish I was able to view television live. Sunday football is one, Wimbledon is another, and watching the Rockettes in my pajamas at my house perform at the Macy’s Day Parade would be fab. This news is a bit late but what a sight to see: Takashi Murakami’s famous characters Kaikai and Kiki made their debut soaring through the skies of New York. 2011 may be the year of cable for the Maciocha household.

Minimalist Graphic Illustrations – Ali Jabbar
July 8, 2010 at 7:13 pm | Posted in illustrator | Leave a commentTags: ali jabbar, graphic, illustration, noma bar
I just came across these graphic illustrations of public figures via The Atlantic‘s website. On first glance I thought they were by the amazing Noma Bar, but I was wrong! They’re actually by the amazing Ali Jabbar! I’m continuously drawn art that’s minimalist in nature. I love how the figures are reduced to shapes and color, but still remain obvious.
Brett Affrunti knows the way to my heart.

I’ve had a pretty big crush on Mark Ruffalo since I saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I think he is so cute! So I have to thank Brooklyn based illustrator Brett Affrunti for sending me his latest illustration of Ruffalo. I’ve been an admirer of Brett Affrunti’s work for a while. He’s got a knack for illustrating moments in time in a loose but detailed way using ink, watercolor and acrylics.
Check out a previous post about Brett Affrunti’s work called “Modern Day Egon Shielle.”
Japanese illustrator: Kimiaki Yaegashi, aka Okimi
February 25, 2010 at 7:58 pm | Posted in design, illustrator | Leave a commentTags: 3d, artist, illustrator, japanese, japanimation, Kimiaki Yaegashi, Okimi
Kimiaki Yaegashi, aka Okimi is an illustrator/graphic designer living in the Kichijoji [the young, artsy] area of Tokyo. Getting his inspiration from pop art and comic books, he’s created a ton of brightly colored illustrations with groovy backgrounds. The illustrations are mostly based on cutesy themes usually of a girl in a bikini, or tiny cartoon piglets just having a good time, or both. A lot of the work is outlined in two-tones which gives it a surprising 3D feel. Take a peak at more of Okimi’s work here.
Sunshine+Design- Five Months Old Today! May 23, 2012Jack Mack, My little love, you’ve had a busy month growing and exploring. You are changing so fast, whenever we are out and about people comment how big you are, but I always explain to them that you are actually right around the 50th percentile — not too big and not too small.
