For my thesis I am examining the role that pattern plays within the field of communications design. For the history part of the thesis I am researching Islamic pattern art, in addition to other parts of art history. As part of my research I went to The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s  new wing on the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia. Here are some of the photos that I took.

Last weekend, Aaron and I were strolling through Chelsea on our way to check out some dots, when we came across this awesome Mural that is part of P.S. 11. It is super cool check it out!

We also came across some awesome ironwork:

Sorry for the lack of posts… grad school is keeping me super busy!

Andy Singleton has been featured on Strictlypaper a couple of times now it is due to his superb mastery in paper crafting. While working with stylist Nikki Docker, he was commissioned to create a series of installations at Hermés based on the theme of travel and adventure. He created three paper chickens, 3 small 30cm boats and one large scale, partial boat, approximately one meter long that appears to be riding on paper waves. Lovely job!
