Coney Island



I took a trip out to Coney Island on one of these recent summer-like afternoons. I'm pleased to report that it's not as devastated as expected. From a distance it still looks like the Coney Island I've grown to love, and up close it's as kitschy and colorful as always. Though I'm not certain how long this will hold true; read more about the development plan here. Oh, and contrary to rumors, Siren Music Festival will continue on the island this summer!

Estudio de Diseño // Zoveck




So I have been doing a lot of research looking for inspiring imagery for an impending tattoo (appointment is June 29th with Stephanie from New York Adorned, more to come!) and came across this fantastic group of designers from Mexico named Zoveck. They create the most incredible vintage/kitsch/mexicana imagery for an array of projects ranging from print and animation to individual art work. Check out their site which is fun in and of itself. I am currently trying to obtain a copy of their book called Manual Ilustrado de Magia Blanca but have had no luck as of yet; if anyone knows of a foreign/hard-to-find book distributor that may be able to help me, perhaps you could pass along their contact info? Though it may turn out that it's just a limited edition monograph, in which case I'm out of luck, but my Spanish is quite limited so I can't decipher from what I've found thus far!
