Amusing Musings ... Discover food, fashion, art, music and other sightings

First started this a few years ago just to see what blogging was all about. Like many, it was abandoned as soon as the next shiny toy came around. Now, it's just a random collection of musings and and amusements that will unfortunately waste your time and mine. I'll try to keep it short & sweet for anyone that is actually reading this.

Asian Art Week & A Fine Frenzy

it's been a whirlwind week of culture. last week was nyc's asian contemporary art week which featured a number of great exhibitions. Tomie Arai's screenprints were the highlight for me although Hyunkoo Lee's Animatus exhibit was also quite a spectacle.

as if all the culture wasn't enough, i was lucky to catch the first solo gig by indie pop band, A Fine Frenzy. yes, another dreamy girl vocal band...just can't get enough of 'em. great voice!

Graphic Design

i have a pile of industry pubs sitting on my desk which i rarely get around to reading. most of the time i save them for a cross-country flight where i will be bored enough to work through the pile. however, this month's creativity magazine really caught my eye with their retro geek chic cover. for those un-indoctrinated, creativity is part of the Ad Age family of advertising news.

the find of the week was ffffound, a site which allows the creative community to collect & save images from the web. really amazing design work! while you can view it, partakers are by invite only :( alas, if some kind ffffounder out there will invite me, i will be ever so happy. and why wouldn't you want to make a complete stranger happy?
