Cardboard Pop-up

The pop-up store is a retail trend that makes sense around the holidays. Hit all the shoppers while they're out on the town buying up a storm. Breathe Architecture and Lulamae teamed up to create a pop-up boutique out of cardboard in Melbourne, Australia. All recycled of course.

The Pedestrian Project

Graphic icons come to life and stroll the streets whenever Yvette Helin's Pedestrian Project comes to town. This show has been on the road around the world since 1990. What a great concept, as we like to say, "this one has legs."

This book was kind of dark and kind of scary when I was little. The first movie poster I saw seemed to capture that essense of the book. After seeing the trailer, it looks like a more upbeat movie.

Larry Keenan

Some of my earliest memories are trying to fall asleep at night during the summers while the hippie teenagers next door sat in the front yard and played the Beatles, Stones and everything else on their guitars. If those kids had been just a few years older and living on their own, their apartments may have looked like this. This is the work of Larry Keenan, a groovy photographer from the Bay Area who captures the Beats, the Human Be-in and all the wonder before the Summer of Love became mainstream. These shots are excerpts from essays Larry did on interiors of counterculture homes and life in the counterculture with children.

Sweet, delicious pop.
