The Working Proof: Rich Gemmell

Remember Rich Gemmell? His print, “Falls” is a limited-edition of 50 prints that’s now available at the Working Proof. It was inspired by Transportation Alternatives – a NYC-based non-profit that advocates for bicycling, walking and public transit as the best transportation alternatives.

In the print, instead of traffic jams and exhaust fumes, the man is traveling to work down the river in an environmentally friendly kayak! Also, you know you’re going to be doing something good with the purchase of each print: 15% of each one sold will be donated to Transportation Alternatives.

Rich has lots of new work up to see, but no shop yet (!) so if you want to grab a print, his print for the Working Proof is your best bet yet!

Howard by Julia Pott

I consider YouTube to be one big cinema that offers byte-sized entertainment – free, 24/7. I notice though, that my choice of entertainment borders on the bizarre and are usually animated (sometimes it’s a combination of both.)

The things I find amusing are cartoons like Cow and Chicken (one of the most hilarious shows ever), old cartoons from Nickelodeon, and of course, Julia Pott’s animations – her most recent one is called Howard, a story about a relationship that has changed. Pull up a chair and enjoy!

A bite & a break

I’m taking a little break today after running around town for various appointments. And usually when I come back, all I want to do is to relax and look at all the yummy entries over at the Good to Eat flickr group. Here’s a few lovely entries recently that I love:

And of course there’s so much more to see that I have to tell myself to stop before I get too hungry — even seeing a candy bar nearby drives me over the edge!
