Dan and I went to Boston  in September 08. While he participated at a conference, I walked through town and once again, shot windows. More photos at vivadesign.com/boston08

Our recent trip to San Franciso was short and intense. I could not help shooting windows again, my favorite thing to do... More photos are at vivadesign.com/SanFrancisco 

I finally added some images from Daniel Vosovic, fashion designer in NY and Fashion Runway Finalist. Daniel is very inspiring and creative. Here he shows work in progress, what inspires him, how his day looks like...www.vivadesign.com/DanielVosovic He creates wonderful work.

1. websites from Etienne Mineur, who designed for Issey Miyake www.my-os.net/blog

2. A graphic collaborative called: SURFACE TO AIR surface2air.com

SURFACE TO AIR Paris is a creative studio/boutique operating in art, fashion and communication. Our need for freedom and independence, conditions to creativity, made us organize ourselves around high pluri-disciplinary activities and projects in the creative domains which interest us.

3. images from Radical Lace & Subversive Knitting, an exhibit at the museum for arts and design, NY

A provocative and timely exhibition of work by international artists using fiber in unexpected and unorthodox ways, Radical Lace & Subversive Knitting illuminates a field of creative practice that is fresh, surprising, and engaging. Featuring 27 artists from seven countries, this exhibition will exhibit work that ranges from Althea Merback's microknit garments (1:144 scale) to large-scale, site-specific installations. Artists employ a variety of media, from traditional yarns and laces, to found objects and video, and explore contemporary currents in art practice of socially engaged, participatory work.
