Trop 50
RANDOM THOUGHTS Apparently, Krya Sedgwick is Trop50’s new spokesperson. Interesting. I can’t recall the last time an actress or actor was a spokesperson for juice.
Robert Hanson
ILLUSTRATION I was pretty happy to get my hands on Monocle at Borders this weekend. There were some great articles and some really charming illustrations by Robert Hanson.
Strathmore redesign

GRAPHIC DESIGN What do you get when Pentagram and Marian Bantjes collaborate on a project? A whole lot of loveliness. This redesign for Strathmore Paper is a refreshing new look and rebrands them as a hip and cool paper company. The packaging will definitely stand out amongst the hundreds of brands sitting on the shelves at Kelly Paper. Strathmore has also created a new blog that writes about all things paper related. Check it out here.
Avant garde sculpture
ART Check out this metal sculpture of Avant Garde by artist Damien Roach. The sculpture is especially interesting at different angles.
The transportation issue
MAGAZINE Good Magazine’s recent issue is a great read. I just got mine in the mail the other day and read it cover to cover. The whole magazine is about our current transportation problems and how we can fix them. After reading the issue, it’ll really make you want to take the train and the bus a lot more.
SOEX
ART Southern Exposure is an awesome organization who reaches out to diverse audiences, and serves as a forum and resource center for Bay Area’s arts and educational communities. I just received a lovely limited edition print (designed MendeDesign and Volume Inc.) announcing their new building project. They are currently seeking donations to fund the project.
