January is breezing by, and it looks like the rainy season has finally caught up with us in the Bay Area. I’ve been busy at work, but am doing my best to chip away at progress on a large painting. Time is always a struggle!
Something I really love about January is hearing about everyone’s fresh outlook, big ideas, new ambitions. Amazing people in my life have launched some great new labors of love and ingenuity. Check them out!
Folk Fibers – Textile artist and organic farmer Maura Grace sources and creates beautiful, handmade goods that both progress and pay homage to the great tradition of American craftsmen and women.
Liberty + Lunch – Lover of life and food, designer Katie Inglis shares in all her adventuring, whether it be geographical, philosophical, or gastronomical.
Ink Meets Paper – Entrepreneurial couple Daniel and Allison Nadeau have launched a new website for their letterpress studio. Not only do they create beautiful products, but they take great care to share the story and process behind the projects they undertake.
Eureka Coffee – Photographer and all around amazing lady Jessica Caisse is gearing up to launch a mobile coffee cart that serves up brew from the best micro-roasters around. Um, yes please. Follow her progress and get ready to sample some amazing coffee, folks!
Rigamaru - Chris Sasaki (the love of my life) and myself have launched a new online store for the little company that we began together in Portland. Art shows, collaborative projects, and new products are in the works, so it’s shaping up to be an exciting year!
