Congrats, Caitlin!

My good friend Caitlin is featured in a Daily Candy video today! Watch her paint, talk about how she finds inspiration, and all that good stuff. The filmmaker did a gorgeous job shooting her as well. So proud of you Caitlin, all good things to come.

Boost of Inspiration in My City

Recently, my friend, Naomi and I went to see Robert Frank's The America's exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We also passed through Velázquez Rediscovered during our morning there. We were able to catch Roxy Paine on the Roof: Maelstrom, this summer's sculpture exhibit before it came down as well. (Which was great as Naomi had never been to the roof!). The roof is one of my favorite places to catch central park views. During our visit I mused how I don't visit the MET as often as I'd like. I have such memories there of class trips, researching college papers, inspiring visits, and attending special exhibits that have long passed. During a recent trip I organized a scavenger hunt there with Watson Adventures for my office. That visit opened my eyes to so much of the MET that is undiscovered to me (and maybe to you as well). It's truly an artist's wonderland. Well Naomi went ahead and purchased me a MEMBERSHIP to the MET for my birthday, so 2010 is clearly going to be one where I can visit as often as I like! I'm looking forward to sharing with all of you a monthly post about something 'NEW' that I see there. Stay tuned...

Winter Song

After the snowy weekend I found this song by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson and can't help but love the graphically driven video. The song is from this Hotel Cafe album. Looks like cut paper, so creative. Enjoy.

Window Wednesdays: A little bit of this and that

Every which way you turn in NYC this month there are holiday windows beckoning for you to come in...shop, browse, and leave with a shopping bag :-) I trid to capture some more windows this week that were a bit off the beaten path.

Michael Kors
All wrapped up!

Saks, interior!

I really liked the hand drawn illustrations on the cardboard boxes.

I loved this! I couldn't get my camera out quick enough to capture this to share with you. Not only is it a 3-D Ad, it truly counts as a moving window display in my visual world.

These windows are scary! Something about a snowman's head on a body...

Modern, designy nativity scene in the Alessi store window.
