tbp

jason of the best part was kind enough to post some of my work up on his daily art and design blog. thanks for the props, jason!

tbp is filled with treasures...a few of my favs pictured above.

chicago

back to mpls tonight after a lovely, long weekend in chicago. design related highlights = millenium bean sculpture, L walls, Hatch identity walk-by, architectural boat tour, the ledge. most amazing brunch ever at lula in logan square and dinner at province. would definitely go back to hotel felix in a heart beat.

if you're planning a visit, here's my google map.

vacations are beautiful.

comment help

i woke up to 752 new emails this morning because the blog got spammed with comments. rat fink! i've updated my comment settings to prevent future spammings, but does anyone know how to mass delete comments? i'm not sure i have the energy to go through and delete each spam one post at a time...

chicago

a trip is on the books! i'm super excited. the ledge is a must. (read: i love ferris bueller). do we think it's a better view at night or during the day? other things i want to check out: millennium park, wicker park, navy pier, old town, the mca, frank lloyd wright boat tour. other suggestions anyone? ...especially for good places to eat or get drinks?

chalk animation
