Marcel Wanders
ART Marcel Wanders (i love his name) is a brilliant designer who has been one of my favorites. Here’s a video of him speaking about his designs for the Mondrian South Beach Hotel. The space is breathtaking and feels so dreamlike.

ART Walter Robinson is a Bay Area artist who uses his work to investigate the ways that we create identities out of the products we consume. Branding, corporate logos, mascots, cartoon characters, advertising text and signage are the semiotic sources he draws from. He is currently showing his work at the San Jose Museum of Art.

Cantor art center
ART Just took a trip to Stanford’s Cantor Art Center for the very first time. They have a pretty nice collection of art throughout history…from Goya to Lichtenstein. I found the Experimental Music Series by Mark Applebaum most intriguing. The graphic art with evocative glyphs and densely arranged pictographs were pretty inspirational. It would be awesome if he and Marian Bantjes did something together.
