A visual journal [...] LOVE this idea: Artisanal pencil sharpening Send your pencils to the Hudson River Valley in New York to be hand sharpened by David Rees, complete with a certificate of sharpening. Or don’t even send your pencil…the artist will provide you with a pencil and then sharpen it for you. What a great idea! I may have to [...] It’s amazing the things people will talk about in public on their cell phones. Overheard on a busy corner outside a T stop, through raspy sobs: “If you sleep with her again, and have another child with her while we’re still together…” Um…you go girl? Overheard a couple days ago: a conversation so vile that I will not [...] |
