Hyperfocus Favorite

Today’s Favorite comes from a link I’ve had kicking around my Twitter Favorites tab for almost two weeks now, via Electric Literature (@electriclit).

BookInscriptions.com is a collection of found books with personal inscriptions. A favorite because of the sentimental value an inscribed book holds—or at least would hold for me—and I’ve found reading others’ sentiments to be charming. I, myself, have never been the recipient of an inscribed book but I imagine if I ever had, it would be something I would continue to cherish and would keep forever.

In Your ‘Hood

Those who know me are already aware of my affinity for things like skateboarding (I love deck artwork) and street art. And over the past two weeks, I’ve been out and about in my Brooklyn neighborhood snapping photos of the phenomenal local street art with my iPhone. I began doing this simply to gather inspiration for a new design project I’m working on but wound up turning many of the photos I took into a collection of iPhone wallpapers for you to download right here and here. So, I have street art on the brain.

Coincidentally, today’s Daily Heller from Print magazine arrived in my inbox this morning and it’s about… Street art! Specifically, New York Street Artists Gaia and NOHjCOLEY.

You can view Mr. Heller’s brief write-up, as well as click to view a video taken by his son, Nicolas Heller, here.

And I second Mr. Heller’s statement: “Why go to a museum when you can check out street art in your city this weekend.” Get out and about in your ‘hood, you never know what sort of wonderful art and inspiration you might find!

Thursday Find

Not only am I terrified, I can’t stop looking at this group of amazing work by Ashkan Honarvar. Each one is more frightening and fascinating than the last.

Monday Find

I’ve been scouting iPhone cases like a madwoman over the past few days. Because I finally traded in my trusty old Motorolla for an iPhone. And while practicality and functionality ultimately guided my case purchase, the designer in me found these cases I came across yesterday by tovicorrie for sale at the Beautiful Skin Etsy store to be irresistible. I, myself, opted for a case that protects the phone while still allowing me access to all ports and functions but if you prefer a beautiful protective case to simply slide your phone in and out of, these may be a perfect fit for you!

Sunday Find

I was scouting Etsy, hoping to find some artwork for my bedroom when I came across Yellena‘s shop. Her prints really caught my attention, so I thought I would share my find here with you. Yellena’s work is the best combination of delicate, intricate, strange and alien all wrapped up in one package:
