We were walking up Lafayette Street when we found this vintage-style Western-adventure paperback novel set on the steps to a cast-iron building. (The building was near the mysteriously plain and discreet false-back-front entrance to Imperial Nine and the Mondrian Hotel SoHo.) The book seemed to have been placed on theContinue Reading
Our man in Los Angeles, Josh, snapped pictures of this massive work by Mr. Brainwash (Thierry Guetta) on Santa Monica Boulevard. The usual brainwash visuals and messaging are deployed here: Warholian homagery a la Campbell’s soup-can, 1970s-’80s “Memorex Man” TV commercial image and “Life is beautiful.” Mr. Brainwash, as manyContinue Reading
There’s is nothing more to be said about this clip. It speaks for itself. 🙂
In the first post in our new “Creators” series of profiles and interviews, Global Graphica producer Van Corsa speaks with Major Deegan, a.k.a., “Seymour Templar,” a.k.a., New York City-based Belgian photographer Daniel Puissant … How would describe yourself? I’m an artist and I utilize any kind of medium to expressContinue Reading

The second in our photographic series of posts called “What’s Outside the Window.” Below are pix of the view from a New York City yellow taxi cab headed west on East Houston Street on a recent weekday morning. Seconds before the picture was taken, a man from the garage asContinue Reading
We recently stumbled upon an interview with “information sage” Edward Tufte in the Washington Monthly. The statistician and graphic design theorist is one of our heroes of visual culture. From the article … Edward Tufte occupies a revered and solitary place in the world of graphic design. Over the lastContinue Reading
“Love Me” ( a.k.a., Curtis Kulig) strikes again. Rather than a painted graffiti scrawl, this instance is a sticker on a forklift in the Chinatown part of the Lower East Side.
Fashion Forward Fashion Show is just that, a fashion show but an unusual one that’s really more a local promotional event. The show was staged on a blocked off stretch of Broome St. between Orchard and Ludlow streets in a neighborhood enclave increasingly influential in the New York and internationalContinue Reading
Two years ago Air France Flight 447 suddenly disappeared above the Atlantic ocean en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. A recent New York Times Magazine feature article titled “The Deepest End” looks closely at the investigation and explains why the investigation has been so difficult and taken soContinue Reading
We’ve watched this satircal look at the current web-tech start-up culture at least five times and it made us laugh every time. Remember: “No brand cuffs!”
The beautiful floor lit from below at Chelsea Market in New York City. The market is an early, successful and massive example of the re-purposing of old industrial space on Manhattan’s West Side for mixed use office and retail space.

This one is on a concrete road barrier under the High Line at W. 14th Street, in New York City. More Terry Richardson stencil stuff was recently posted on the site and you can readContinue Reading
Following on the successes of other Spanish clothing retailers such as Zara and Mango, Desigual entered the U.S. market a couple of years ago and has increased the visibility of its colorful brand in bigger and bolder ways. Here an entire building in New York City’s Herald Square shopping districtContinue Reading
In a new series of posts, we’re going to take pictures of our view looking out windows from the various places our day-to-day travels takes us.

The window shows a Japanese flag or hi no maru. The sunContinue Reading
A beautiful message on the wall of the guest room in a photographer friend’s downtown New York City apartment: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
In Part IV of our series of posts chronicling the painting of an outdoor graffiti-art ad for a brand of ginger ale, we see the finishing touches on details on the second face of the artwork, which faces Canal Street. Well done.
