Wandermonster featured in BIG kids magazine
Our son-and-dad blog Wandermonster, has a feature in the Australian kids’ magazine, BIG. This is their second issue, exploring the theme of treasure maps, which is one of those things that makes my heart beat a little faster. We contributed three before-and-after Lunch Posts, and the readers are encouraged to do their own “afters.” We’re…
UnMap Polaroid show up at Pratt
The UnMap Queens show is hanging in the Communications Design office at Pratt Institute. This is a collaboration with designer and artist Carl Gambrell of Projector Creative, sponsored by the Impossible Project. Gambrell and I spent several weeks exploring the mysterious corners of Queens, armed with Polaroid Spectra System cameras. Queens is a fascinating spot on…

One of our favorite discoveries in Western Mass is the FOE gallery in Northampton. We’re excited to be participating in the upcoming show Garamaniacal, curated by FOE co-owner Jim Shea and Garamania’s Michael Nordstrom.

Popcorn Noir on NPR
Our first Western Mass client, Popcorn Noir, was featured on NPR recently. It is a wonderful addition to the area, a free movie theater showing an eccentric variety of good films. And it’s an inspiring re-invention: a former storefront church transformed into a comfy Art Deco space. Listen to the NPR piece, then join me…
USAdopt website launches
The USAdopt website has been launched. USAdopt fills an ecological niche that was astonishingly vacant: an organization that calmly, warmly, and professionally, helps people navigate the confusing domestic adoption process. Founder and CEO Amanda Grant was inspired by her own (ultimately happy) quest to become a parent. Her personal experience, coupled with her career as…
