3x Abstraction: New Methods of Drawing
1 recommendation
"This is a spectacular book that covers the work of well known geometric abstractionists Agnes Martin and lesser known Hilma Af Klint and Emma Kunz. All three women are seminal figures in a school of abstraction dominated mostly by men. The book discusses the women's relationship to their medium, geometry and the sublime."

Grace Jones - A One Man Show
1 recommendation
"There are only a few video collections from the 80's that I'd love to see back in print, this is one of them. Grace Jones received a Grammy nomination for her "A One Man Show". If you ever get a chance to see it you'll understand why. All I can say is "A One Man Show" captures the full power of the Grace Jones sound and vision, there is nothing that compares."

Blade Runner : The Final Cut
4 recommendations
"I've been waiting for this for too long. Unfortunately I'd seen the original theatrical release so many times that when I finally got a chance to see the far superior "Director's Cut" I still had the crappy Deckard's voiceover narration running in my head--nightmare! This time I'm ready, many years have past since the "Director's Cut" I can now enjoy the new "Final Cut" without total recall of Dec..."

Graffiti World: Street Art from Five Continents

The book also includes some information about the artists which was a nice touch.

Apple iPhone

"Wow. This phone does everything. It's beautiful. It runs unix. Apple's crack team has outdone themselves with an innovative UI to control a beyond-complete hardware package including motion sensors, light sensors, a proximity sensor (to detect when it's near your ear) and of course every other de rigeur gadget offered by a top-of-the-line smartphone. Unless that virtual keyboard sucks, this is..."

Thinkmap Visual Thesaurus
2 recommendations
"Not simply a thesaurus, but an entirely new way at discovering words, their meanings and derivations, even the correct pronunciation. For anyone who has ever struggled with that word just sitting on the tip of their tongue, or wanted a better word to describe or elucidate, or is simply curious about what something really means. An amazing new way to actually look at language and, perhaps, see so..."

Locker Pak Backpack
2 recommendations
"Boy, would this have helped when I was in school! My backpack was a bottomless pit into which things would disappear forever. This looks especially well-designed so that items are organized and accessible--and visible, so you know where things are. It's a long time since I've carried a backpack (unless, well, backpacking), but I may need to get the adult-sized version for myself."
Pendaflex | PileSmart Label Clips
1 recommendation
"This helps a lot in meetings, where I tend to become quickly disorganized with regard to my reference papers. I used to use a paper clip, but being able to label the clip is the difference between success and chaos. Also great for organizing those piles of papers on your desk."
Lillian Vernon: Canvas 2-Sided Jewelry Organizer
1 recommendation
"I have one of these, and I love it. I can see where everything is instead of hunting for something among several disorderly jewelry boxes, which saves time when I'm trying to get out the door. For those of us with Attention Deficit Disorder, it's important to be able to SEE where we have put things. We tend to be "out of sight, out of mind" sorts. This would also be great for storing craft ..."

Dell 2405FPW UltraSharp 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor
6 recommendations
"As a New Yorker with very little desk space, this monitor rivals CRT displays with great contrast ratio. At 24 inches, it is the perfect size for a designer –without the clunkiness of a dual-monitor setup. Plus, it’s great for watching movies."

Light Art Biennial » Blog Archive » Manfred Kielnhofer
1 recommendation
"I get a wonderful dark sense. We as people always think we count -that our faces represent everything about who we are - we have no concept of what as come before our own selfish life timeline or what will come after - no matter how much we as a people, politicians or philosophers say our efforts are for a future. I appreciated your time guards - time is continues, relationships change and our fac..."
