corrugated.

I am absolutely fancying Nina Lindgren's pile of houses.

A unique sculpture built from a familiar material, corrugated cardboard!

The whimsical piece is titled Cardboard Heaven.

Notice the slight variations in color of each house.

Did you ever think a cardboard box could be so many different shades of brown?                              

Nina's construction and process photos are fun to see. 

I like when artists share their work space and expose the developing stages.

Cardboard Heaven reminds me of a mix between

the houses set into the cliffs of Cinque Terra, Italy and...

the cargo bikes of China! Stacked neatly and piled high!

Her smaller bunches of houses are quaint yet graphic also.

And her ship illustration! Aaaaahhhh!

I love it!

Snapped some photos while waiting for the train—the many layers of color from a single New York City underground station. 

 

Avenue A flea market is back!

Yay! The charm and junk of the East Village is back! Just a couple weekends ago, the 11th street church parking lot opened it's chain link fence after a 5 year hiatus. The avenue finally feels like home again.

The first thing I spotted was this dead bird on a hat. weird. Ashley bought a deco mirror light for 15 bucks from our old friend Joey. Melissa found this cool little pinkie purse that she wants to make into a necklace.

She also couldn't resist trying on this out-of-control fringe jacket that was pretty awesome, just too big and boxy.  She did get a good little dance out of it and I got a good laugh.

My obsession with ships made me take this picture of a plate.

James Dean checking Melissa out. She smiled and said hi.

A flea market's not a flea market without some old creepy taxidermy.

Oh so happy to have this back in the neighborhood!

stimulating a Halloween custome perhaps
