enthusiasm unbridled

Frank Bruni, Silent Night? Not with us.

My mom made this accordion-style book for an auction + exhibit at the Arkell Museum. Each of the eight pages is its own monotype and the whole thing fits inside a midnight blue box with a cheese cloth pressing. The story is based on her experience of finding two free books for free at the train station in the middle of winter, and an imagining the tale that revolves around the previous owner of the books. 

You can see more pictures of the book on her Flickr. 

My brother illustrates the relationship between pastrami, corned beef, brisket and cow.

Or, as he put it: ”All pastrami is corned beef, all corned beef is brisket, all brisket is cow, and all cows MOO.” 

“It takes 30 whole chickens just to make dinner.”

Berlin Jahrhundertladen: a great project by Claire Laude about 30 family-owned businesses in Berlin between 60-120 years old, that are still run by members of the founding family.
