Greetings from Poltergeist Mountain

My friend Zach Rossman has a new zine! It’s available for sale on his site, so you should check it out. I also mentioned in a previous post that he’ll be showing in LA at Giant Robot, and he’ll probably have some zines with him there. Greetings from Poltergeist Mountain is the name of the zine, and here are the details:

-Book/zine of drawings, sketches and found photos
-34 pages + fold out 5 1/4″ x 6 3/4″ black & white photo-copied on recycled, acid-free paper
-Every book has an original photobooth photograph mounted to the cover
-Limited to 70 copies, signed and numbered

Here are a couple of looks from Eley Kishimoto that I liked. As always, great use of colour and pattern. Not so sure about the ruffle shoes however…

Mid-Century sofa follow-up

Just to let you know, Seth and I ordered the Mid-Century sofa in “charcoal gray” from Urban Outfitters (which I posted about here), and we received it today and it is anything but gray!  It is most definitely slate blue.  No ifs ands or buts about it.  Slate blue.  So be aware.  Fortunately the colour is ok with us, but we were definitely surprised.

Moicun Fall 2008

Lena Corwin shot photos for the upcoming Fall Mociun lookbook, and they are quite lovely.  She posted some of them over on her blog, and I just had to repost, because I love Mociun’s prints, and  I also think that Lena is very talented too.  I’m excited to see the finished product!
