This Sunday, October 12, our friends over at Storyopolis are presenting a once in a lifetime event with the legendary Art Spiegelman!!! Art Spiegelman is a revolutionary pioneer, artist, editor, and visionary for the medium of comics and the emerging graphic novel. World-renowned for his Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel memoir, "Maus," and numerous other acclaimed works, Art Spiegelman will be presenting his newest childrens project "JACK AND THE BOX." The book is published by Toon Books, a company in which he serves as a Series Advisor. JACK JUST GOT A NEW TOY, and it’s full of surprises. Each time the box pops open, there’s a new and bigger surprise. Is it a silly toy, a scary toy...or something else entirely? With a limited vocabulary and unlimited imagination, Art Spiegelman applies his out-of-the-box thinking to a book that has all the surprise and bounce of a Jack-in-the-box. TOON BOOKS represents a whole new approach to books for emerging readers - a rethinking as radical as the first time Theodore Geisel put a hat on a cat. The event will feature a presentation, reading, signing, and more.

We've just posted up a collection of photos from the Endless Reflections show last Saturday. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it a memorable evening - artists and art-lovers alike. The turnout was great and the artwork is incredible - come see it before the show ends! Also thanks to the great dudes at Analog Color for filming for their video channel. Although the art plays a big role in their coverage, they also focus on the galleries that make it all come together. Stay tuned for their video on this show...

For fans of architecture and design, Dezeen is a great blog which consistently posts some really amazing projects from firms, students, and design competitions worldwide. Like info on this funky residential tower being built now in NYC:
It includes at the base, a sculpture by Anish Kapoor... I don't even wanna know what prices these units start at! It makes me wonder too who will be living in that one unit at the very top?
In other NYC related news, Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist is a movie worth checking out. Yes, it's a teen comedy but could possibly be the cutest, dorkiest, and smartest one made in this past decade.
So a while back i had mentioned to someone one day that had a serious craving for Vegan Red Velvet Cupcakes. And the response that followed was a strange look with a comment of "That doesn't sound very appetizing."
So why the sudden excitement over cupcakes? Because I just received the following book in the mail today.
Not only are they the best tasting cupcakes, they've got to be the best looking cupcakes I've ever seen!
In other cupcake news, Twinkiechan who was featured in Giant Robot about 2 years ago for her food scarves, is in the process of making cupcake hoodies.
