who’s that lady holding the torch?
I love what this person wrote on the bottom of this Statue of Liberty postcard:“We saw this in the distance when we were down at the harbor last Saturday” The tone can be interpreted as if they didn’t know what it was. The postcard is available for purchase for $9.95 including shipping.
world’s ugliest couch
Ok, so the world’s ugliest couch was just shown at milan design week 09. ugh. Where do I begin with this thing? It’s so over the top and gaudy.

For some reason I have been avoiding closing the browser window containing this ebay item for a couple weeks now. I’m not sure what’s so spellbinding about it. I dig vintage postcards. …
there IS art and design in Orland Park
I first came across the work of Chuck Anderson at nopattern.com two or three years ago. His work inspired a new trend (which I call ethereal neo-disco) in the design industry.
