Happy new year! I am excited for 2010! I am working on a new website and I will be transferring my blog over to it. I am also working on a big personal project that I am hoping to unveil within the year. It is really exciting to be working on something that I am so passionate about and I can't wait to share it with everyone! In the meantime here are some photos of my holiday season.

Read this on the train today...

"After-images occur when the eyes had a concentrated burst of a single colour for a period of time. It triggers the optic nerve to create a brief flash of its complementary opposite, so fleeting it hardly ever registers. Ever wondered why surgical scrubs and operating theatre textiles are blue-green? It's the complementary color of blood red and, because the optic nerve recognizes the complementary colour when they look up, it prevents the surgeons getting an after-image when they look away from the open wound."

from "Chromatic Scale" in the newest issue of Selvedge

Color is crazy!

I am really excited to attend AT Offline New York Design Meetup tomorrow. This months speaker is Christiane Lemieux in of DwellStudio I am a big fan of DwellStudio's modern graphic aesthetic. I had popped into their sample sale that was happening Memorial Day weekend in Soho but sadly came out empty handed which was ok by me because I actually already own a Duvet of theirs that I bought two years ago when I moved into my apartment and I still love to pieces. I am really looking forward to hear Christiane speak candidly about how they got their start and how they have grown their business especially since I remember when it was much smaller and they didn't have all of the partnerships that they do now. If you are in the area you should come on out! Everytime I go I always bump into two (or three or four...) people that I know. I guess that the design world is pretty small after all!

A couple of months ago I got an email from Brittany asking me about the DIS Textile Design Program that I did two summers ago. I've been following her blog ever since and it looks like she finally arrived in Copenhagen and I am excited to relive Copenhagen and DIS all over again vicariously through her blog!

Speaking of blogs I stumbled upon this one this morning while through flickr. All of the photos are super organized by type of design and then time period and I spent a ridiculous amount of time browsing through a good chunk of them this morning. Check it out over here

Here are a few of my favorites
