Okay so I know I ripped on Paula for her HP templates, but I do love her paintings.

Did I mention I like maps?

From the Pentagram website: "An exhibition of new paintings by Paula Scher opens this Thursday, 8 November at the Maya Stendhal Gallery at 545 West 20th Street in New York City. Featured is work from her ongoing Maps series including the paintings India, Tsunami, Manhattan at Night, NYC Transit, Middle East and Paris. An exhibition catalogue has been published. The show remains on view through 26 January."

Free Magenta!

Check out this article about T-Mobile apparently owning the color magenta so that no other telecommunications companies can use it.

"Don’t worry trademarks only apply to the industry sector that they are registered under and since DT applied for their trademark in the tele-communications sector you just can’t use the color magenta around anything to do with phones, digital media… oh and just about anything on the internet."

And also check out this site (in German I think?) about "freeing" Magenta.

Halloweeeeen :)

So I decided to be Jane Jetson for Halloween but I thought that the store-bought costume looked nothing like her.

So I made my own. Took me too long but it turned out well I think. Not the absolute best photo, but you get the idea.

I need to post a picture of the hair before I painted it. It's made of this foamy modeling clay called Crayola Model Magic. Very cartoony.

Take that, Bootleg Jane!

Jess and Amanda's year of travels

Gotta give a quick shoutout to my friend Amanda (and her friend Jess's) travel blog. The 2 of them decided to save up some money and take a trip around the world. How crazy is that?

First stop: Lima, Peru to hike up Machu Picchu. Hopefully they will get some pictures up very soon! Good luck guys! Have fun and stay safe.
