If you have a little bit of free time, do yourself a favor and check out this Six Part series on Signage.  The series debunks theories and designs behind some of the signs that are incredibly important and common to our society.  There is even a segment titled “Lost in Penn Station,” which i’ve been complaining about since my arrival in New York.

David, Sam and I will be jumping into a car in a few hours to head down to Charleston, SC for the wedding of a close friend. We’ll be back next week to continue posting and to also announce a bomb of a secret. Hint, it involved some mega interviewees and a massive road trip.

Till then, we all hope to make it back in one piece… the Palmetto state awaits! Hopefully some roadside boiled peanuts do to.

It could happen… or is it already?

Over 3000 years ago the Christian’s created a series of tunnels and caves to hide from the Roman Army.  These caves still exist today in the Cappadocia region of Turkey.  I can only imagine what these structures looks like from the inside.  Imagine living in an architecture that is so old and so much a part of the earth.

Currently on exhibition at Exit Art till April 10th.

Thanks for the tip Mimi.
