This past month, RAW – an independent arts organization that operates in over 21 cities across the U.S. — put their grassroots down in Madison, Wis. I attended their first launch event, entitled “Activate,” to get a glimpse of their mission in action: spurring on local talent and cultivating creativity. The vibe?

Photography by Pia Ulin. Tomorrow I will be on my way to winter for Thanksgiving. It’s midwest rainy today. Forecasted lows of -5 degrees are ahead of me. Good ol’ Idaho… I’m looking forward to the mountains again, family, and wood burning stoves, as well as a nice break from the internet. I don’t actually […]

Here’s a little sneak peek of last week’s photo shoot in my little living room. The shots are for a TypeStyle book proposal by Heather Lins… 25 (or 26) different ways to craftily use typography in the home. It’s still in the works, but here are a couple designs for the project: mouse pad and bingo pillow. […]

In case you’re questioning my spelling abilities, this is my second “Archi-texture” post which consists of me finding inspiration from the built and natural environments and then tying it in with home decor.
