Great Info Graphic from the NYT about Traffic Lanes on Broadway
I actually came to the NYT story Broadway Is Busy, With Pedestrians, if Not Car Traffic from a post on Reuters by Felix Salmon How the NYT sees bikes on Broadway which offers a fascinating counterbalance to the original article. However that isn’t what I’m wanting to post about. What I did want to note is that the info graphic is an interesting study of simplification... Read More
QR Code Replaced Long URL on Poster
This morning as I do every morning that I walk to work I try to capture a photo of something that caught my attention. Today I stopped to notice a poster that had QR code on the bottom of it. Up until now most of the QR code stuff that I’ve seen on ads has been pretty gimmicky—but something about the placement had me curious. Plus the poster was from nyc.gov so I figured... Read More
A Bathroom Worth Noting
Sunday morning I had the opportunity to hang out with Randy J. Hunt, a smart design guy that I respect a lot. He has a habit of mentioning great places to eat so when he emailed me on Saturday wanting to meet up on Sunday I wasn’t going to say no. I had never been to Pulinos before but have walked by it quite a bit with Madison checking out what was going on Bowery. We... Read More
Rain Inspired Sunday Afternoon Outside my Window
With the humidity at levels that I can’t really tolerate I’ve been spending most of my Sunday afternoon reading. I’ve also been keeping an eye on the clouds roll in and out, sometimes turning my view completely white. But things move fast and a couple moments later I had a new pointillism inspired view. Tons of clear raindrops turned my view into something... Read More
Checking out the Os Gemeos x Futura mural at PS. 11 Going Up
This morning I found out from a tweet of MarcDSchiller that Os Gemeos and Futura2000 have a painting going up. After spending some quality time enjoying the great weather at Madison Square Park I decided to walk a couple blocks to check out the progress. The painting is going up on the side of a school at 320 West 21st street and looks to be titled the “giant project” according... Read More

Awesome Food Truck Chart from New York Magazine
I’ve always been a fan of illustrated vehicles, but this collection of food trucks in New York from New York Magazine takes it to a new level of usefulness and aesthetic interestingness. Hopefully next year they can include carts like http://twitter.com/CalexicoCart. Read More
First impressions of Beyond the Street, the 100 Leading Figures in Urban Art
Before I jump into my reaction to Beyond the Street: With the 100 Most Important Players in Urban Art I think it’s important to explain what I think is good street art and why I’ll stop and photograph something outside. While I’m familiar with a lot of the “names” out there I do try to stay a bit ignorant of who’s doing what. I don’t... Read More
Visual Culture over the Weekend
Taking advantage of the great NYC weather last weekend I was out and about as much as possible. Above are a couple things that I saw that caught my eye. It would be impossible to make much of a pattern from this aside from a couple of these things reminded me of years ago when I was much younger, and stuff that I think is cool while also showing the power of design that in some...
