John Updike: An Artist Who Loves Art
1 response - Posted 11.25.08
Let’s be honest, John Updike is intimidating. He is an author who can only be described as prolific; one who drew an impressive crowd at Benaroya Hall in what is often described as one of the most literate cities in America. Since his early success in the 1950s, he has continued to add to his [...]continue

2 responses - Posted 07.24.08
What happens to a country’s visual culture when it moves from Soviet communism to post-Soviet liberalization? A pathbreaking exhibition in the former Soviet Central Asian republic of Kyrgyzstan, Epoxa (‘Epoch’) grapples with this question. It presents the republic’s initial independence years, 1991-2005, under the rule of the country’s first post-independence president, Askar Akaev. [...]continue

Artistic Baggage
no responses - Posted 06.23.08
Don’t judge a purse by its cover. No, that’s not a typo; we are talking about purses here…and book covers. It should be no surprise that the most well-read city in the nation is home to a designer who managed to turn books into handbags. Mary Lydia Ryan a Seattleite for the past 19 years [...]continue

An Odd But Elegant Process

After brewing a cup of tea, we hardly even consider the possibilities of a used tea bag before we toss it in the trash. In general, little thought is given to what we discard and any alternate uses it may posses. Although a majority of us don’t ponder prior to tossing, one exemplary [...]continue

How-to: Hippie Fashion for ‘08
12 responses - Posted 05.10.08
The hippie style is popular again, and just in time for spring or summer weather, depending on where you live. Florals and headbands are big, along with a dreamy, earthier palette for both clothes and makeup. Flowy dresses in varying lengths are great for warm weather, and are very low-maintenance with a designer handbag for [...]continue

How-to: Sustainable Fashion

I’m writing this as Earth Day 2008 comes to a close here in the northwest, a region known for its earthy inclinations, be it the world’s first all-green Fashion Week here in Portland or just that Carl’s Jr. commercial with a circle of hippies playing hacky-sack in the rain. I’ve been struggling with what [...]continue

Sketchbook Inspiration: Detour Moleskine Exhibit
3 responses - Posted 04.10.08
I don’t remember the exact moment that Moleskine journals made their way into my family, but pretty soon we all had several; blank journals, day planners, address books, grid paper, and beyond. The sleek black journal seemed so ingenious. It was simple, it stayed closed with an attached piece of elastic, and best [...]continue
