During the pillaging of the East Hampton beachhouse, I was able to get a MASSIVE wood frame that was going to end up in the dumpster.  I took the graphics that I made of my favorite rocker, Pete Doherty (Babyshambles, the Libertines, Kate Moss’ ex-boyfriend), and made a ginormous museum-quality poster out of it.  It’s [...]

"The web is the force behind the most important innovation in recent history. We should be empowering individuals and small businesses to succeed in this new medium to the greatest possible extent, not taxing innovation. Introducing taxes now will severely cripple the web’s growth at this critical stage of early development." As a [...]

This is going to sound morbid or obtuse, but I can succinctly sense that I am on the threshold of somehow leaving youth behind. You know, that number that solidifies your mid-life. I think for me, it was turning 42. It isn’t sad or scary. It’s simply true. I’m 42 [...]

Just found this and now I don’t know where, but I thought I’d share it… LOL. So I guess these towels are selling out, particularly for Digg users who seem to live online and not in life sometimes. Enjoy!

So the other day, my good friend (and goddess), Jenna Minardi, asked me if I’d be interested in pillaging a Hamptons house’s goods since it was being torn down. The good-hearted owner was asking people to take what was in the house before demolition began.
Jenna never ceases to amaze me. Besides being an insanely beautiful [...]

Not only is IKEA infiltrating ICFF , now the furnishings giant will officially launch a collection of furniture for your Sims. When we dabbled in Sims2, our favorite part of the game was designing and furnishing homes for a digital family. The IKEA Home Stuff pack would have been a welcome addition to the available [...]

Yesterday I came across a slightly mysterious website — a collection of Polaroids, one per day, from March 31, 1979 through October 25, 1997. There’s no author listed, no contact info, and no other indication as to where these came from. So, naturally, I started looking through the photos. I was stunned by what I [...]

Here is my husband, Kurt Wenzel’s third and latest novel’s book jacket, Exposure: A Novel . I love it! Can you guess who it is? I won’t give it away in case you read it some day. But I just love the way Little, Brown & Co’s design team pulled this off. The squares [...]

"Behind Bars" in Japanese , originally uploaded by designshrine .

This was my favorite cover of all of the versions for my book, Behind Bars: The Straight-Up Tales of a Big-City Bartender . It really captured my experience as a bartender on the Bowery before the rich folks took over. They captured my old look, [...]

Saturday night live is funny again… it’s been a long time in coming, and one seemingly longer campaign to the Democratic Convention. But this video is so funny - especially since I’m a die-hard Obama supporter - that I had to share it with you. I’m still cracking up.

I had made the following portraits of myself using an online generator. Now I can’t find it anywhere! If anyone knows where they are, please let me know.

This is me as a Modigliani painting…

Here is the same portrait only as a Boticelli portrait.
Nifty, eh?

A few weeks ago, I received my Blue Art Studio prints , which are mid-century inspired, museum quality, signed prints by the illustrious Joel Pirela. The frames finally arrived and they are now happily on my wall. I also have the new Chair Exam , which will be in my newly renovated office, [...]
