philly, by design

this isn't something you see everyday...

"It is the life of this order that I am most interested in; finding it among the ruins of everyday happenings is my comforting obsession."

-leslie mutchler


a collage of pottery barn and pier one catalogue pics reinvented into a psychological treatise on art... pretty damn cool.

what leslie manages isn't unlike what warhol did with campbell soup cans. though instead of graphics as art, she's transformed industrial designs as graphics... neat. expect to see this design-as-art trend open up in the months and years to come. personally, i can't wait. ;)

thesis year begins...



and so ends phase 1 of this bloggity blog. so sad, so sad.

i'll continue, however, with a more thesis-based study here.... stay tuned for questions, answers, pictures, faces, places, facts and figures in my travels. it won't all be fun and games, but i'll try to keep it interesting at least.

not only will it give me a organizing principle to work around, but my year-end project coincidentally requires a local space... *raises eyebrow* so like it says in the banner, i'm still a local boy/design nut engaging the city of brotherly love. good times.

a hint at my thesis below, more to come...
