I saw these folks on the subway Saturday, on my way to meet Patrick for some South Indian brunch. Then we did a little clothes shopping wherein neither of us bought anything (which is the perfect way to do it). I discovered that Benetton shirts fit me quite well (surprising!), but that H&M’s new Marrimekko collection doesn’t fit me at all (saddening!). Then he helped me pick out some new glasses (about time!), but from See, not from Sol Moscot (despite the illustration below.)
I drew that while we snuck into Starbucks to steal some internet to find out the location of Build a Green Bakery‘s West Village location, where we later met up with Seth (of the vegan menu, chocolate chip is better than oatmeal raisin is better than banana seed muffin thing).
Sunday, I went to Brooklyn Flea the new weekly flea/craft market in Fort Greene. I also went last weekend, and was very pleased to meet bicycle portraitist Taliah Lempert, whose work I’ve long admired (I bought her coloring book). This week I picked up these great old printed cards, $10 for the lot (click on them to see larger on Flickr):
I also had an adventure getting an oversized canvas home from the Pratt store via the back of my bicycle. If all goes well, you’ll soon get to see what I did with it.
Sounds like a nice weekend! I’m sorry to hear about the Marimekko.

I like your paintings very much and am very envious about your cards!
Your blog is good to read.

It was a nice weekend, including many things not listed here…
Thanks for telling me about the Marimekko in the first place, Melisser!
Adam, glad you enjoy the blog so much. And I’m happy that I can share the cards with the entire internet.
