Morning Reads and Looks

This morning I started my surfing with an article I marked to read on T Magazine Blog Timely - Prop Star Kate Dougherty.  She was a stylist on "Moon Rise Kingdom" = instant crush.  Turns out she's as cool as I would have imagined (well, what the article exposes anyway).

I've been thinking about events a lot more lately now that I've been working with Meld (we have a big one coming up in January) and her combination of ideas is as quirky and playful as it gets.  Plus it reminds me of Brooklyn and I always love that.

Once on the Kate Dougherty site some perusing brought me to a link to this photographer.
Les Loups pics are worth a look.  He does a lot of weddings and has a cool editorial look.  Nice to see something new.  I'm not big into having my picture taken, but I think I would be into this guy.  Plus the music he plays on his site is the perfect mix.  I ended up leaving the window open while I continued on my merry way through the internets.

Reath

This blog is a Tomboy Style advertisement some times I know, but once again she's found a new girl for me to crush on.  Frances Merril is a lady with a lust worthy resume and a laid back creative style that I would love to get a chance at.  Maybe all of my dream clients are in L.A.??  Her design firm is called Reath.

Meld & City Home Collective

Woot woot!  Have you ever heard of cityhomecollective? It's a local website that's pretty interesting, especially this article.

Ett Hem

I'm an avid Remodelista follower; often find them irritatingly spot on in their aesthetic and posting on this hotel is an epic example of just that.  This hotel makes my heart ache. My dream project would look something like this . . .

MELD DESIGN

What a stroke of luck I had about a year ago when I ran into one of the Meld founders.  Gary was installing an amazing branch installation at a clients house and we hit it off from the get go.  I was there working for another designer, but I was not shy about introducing myself and telling him to contact me if he thought I could help him with his work.  Off and on since then I have been collaborating with him and his partner Kara to get this thing going.  I have high hopes for Meld.  I completely believe in what they stand for and I'm excited to be a part of the party.

Here's a smattering of things we've worked on together over the past few months . . .

Drafting & Rendering

A designer I work for sent me to this site to see these drawings.  This is probably nerd out rendering stuff but I think they're pretty amazing.  I've got a long way to go it looks like.

All your dreams will come true in the far east . . .
