Chance

And now for something completely different...because I rarely mention myself.  These are some of the great results from the project I did with Julia Leach (here and here) of Chance Co.  Chris Shipman shot some incredible still photos. We also did a series of short films directed by Risa Mickenberg, which can be seen on the site.  Had a great launch party last night, and I was pleasantly surprised that few people actually recognized me from the films playing or the photos on the wall....kind of nice to go unnoticed like that.  Also did a small capsule collection for her..."remnants of the beach" I think we'll call it..

Mercedes Pagoda

P1800 Volvo

Spotted by my pal, Julia Leach- designer of Chance Co. clothing and lifestyle brand, and someone with whom I perpetually share the same taste and who's company I continue to enjoy in and out of business:

P1800 Volvo and in that bronze color no one produces anymore (think my mom had a 2000 BMW in the same shade- she'll follow up with a comment to confirm or not I'm sure...I love you mom).

Here's a little education via Julia: "Introduced in 1960, this was the Swedish company's first sports car, which at first they tried to pass off as an Italian design to gain credibility.  It was, however, designed by a Swede named Pelle Pettersson, who also designed yachts and sailed professionally."....So aha, that's why we like it..

Guy Sargent

Didn't realize that I had posted something of his previously...so I have now given credit where credit is most certainly due.  Sorry Guy.

Would someone please buy me some of these prints? (I'm sure you could figure out which ones..)

Bone/Levine

Just baked some olive oil cakes for the lovely gentlemen of Bone/Levine Architects.  Aside from having good taste in baked goods, and eye glasses, they also do well retrofitting pre-Civil War barns overlooking the Delaware River.
