Should you find yourself in Half Moon Bay, California you owe it to your stomach to stop by Barbara's Fish Trap and Seafood Parlor. We opted for the walk-up window as there's almost always a wait for a table. Above is the shrimp sandwich that is encased in a piece of melty swiss cheese. I know it looks kinda disgusting, but 'tis delicious.
Change of Address Cards
Our change of address postcards finally came. I'm happy with the way the design turned out. If you'd like to get your own they're posted in my zazzle shop. Anyone else out there like vintage graphics?
Drafting table lust
I really, really want to add a drafting table in my new office space as I'm spending more time painting and designing away from the computer. I'm torn between these two styles which are roughly comparable in price. Should I go old school with the classic drafting table design with storage beneath the tabletop or go new fangled with the modern version that keeps art tools within easy reach. Comment and help me out here. ;-)
Micro Cars
We had the opportunity when vacationing in Munich to visit the outstanding Deutsches Museum. Among the thousands of artifacts in their collection was this Heinkel Kabine micro car. This particular model was designed by Ernst Heinkel who primarily designed aircraft. In the late 1950's and early 1960's scores of micro cars were produced by various companies and were wildly popular in Europe. There are only 20 known surving models of the original 5,537.

Really recycled paper from elephant poo
These delightful cards look like they're ready to take flight with the 3-D effect of the raised butterfly wings. They also serve another purpose as part of the proceeds from the paper go to charities to help in the conservation of elephants and rhinos. The paper is 100% recycled and made from elephant poo. No, it doesn't smell and yes, it is safe and bacteria free.
