Here's two drawings... Both began life as ink on paper, but the first one's been photoshopped, cropped, distorted and flipped. Other than that, it is exactly as I originally imagined it

nice intro you have here kev. very american
Nice stuff, I really liked the two inked pics in post #4, great composition and dynamism in those. The oils look great too!
Welcome to the boards and post some more!
sweeet stuff man. welcome! im particularly fond of your ink work. really beautiful examples of how its done.-c36
Just did these in the last two weeks from the model. About an hour and a half on each. A totally exhausting sprint and not enough time to finish! Digital photos don't quite look right either, but you get the idea. (whine, whine, whine...)
Thanks to everybody who's commented so far!

Your ink work has that great 'classic' look to it. Love it.
The rushed paintings look great too.

wonderfull work, the ink drawings are strong and dynamic!
One critique would be that sometimes there is too much "dynamics" so the eye just swooshes back and forth.
just my two cents
oh shit...those inks are beautiful.
Nice! Echoes of a lot of my favorites in there _ Frazetta, Wrightson, and Ploog.

And my blog!
Lot's of Wrightson and Frazeta ,Love it ! Thanks for showing.
When I was young, I could do all-nighters in my sleep.
Hey Kevin. Nice to see more work from you. Excellent stuff. I love all the linework. The oil painting looks great as well even if its a bad scan.
(I'll be at life drawing tonight if you are considering going)
Here's a page from the Dead Rider.
Yes, the background and pen and ink drawn frame is going to be on every page. I did this to unify all the pages, many of which have various different techniques on it that are pretty wide apart, stylistically. And also because I wanted to have a mid value behind everything which would let the panels have both the darkest and the lightest values on the pages - so I can do more with lighting effects and such (like the bright sun here) Also the mid value backdrop allows me to control where the starkest contrasts appear (effect areas) in each panel so I can better direct the reader's attention to the essential dramatic point of each moment. And also, of course, the sepia color recalls the dusty landscape out west and all that.
I'm doing all the lettering and balloons too and they are all stylized and color coded according to who is speaking and they add more color and pop where now there is a lot of the sepia tone. I did the Dead Rider logo too. (Yeah, you guessed it, I'm a graphic designer in another life. I'm in the process of converting from The Deadlander (which Legal has asked me to forgo) which was converted from the Badlander (which Legal has asked me to forgo) to Dead Rider. )
By the way, I drew only one side of the pen and ink frame and duplicated the other side in photoshop. The texture of the sepia tone is an old piece of construction paper scanned in. Maybe that's obvious. Anyway...

Here's some more drawings, this time from the model. 10 minute poses. Pencil and Ink Wash (except for the last one which is just pencil).

Here's more illos from the Deadlander, I think both are ink and brush rather than pen. The first is from issue 1, page 13 of so. The second is the frontispiece/inside front cover for the whole series. Next time I see Berni, I owe him five bucks!

I really like you your figure paintings and darwings. they really are beautiful.
keep up the great work
Here's a WIP from a sorta experimental sequence from The Dead Rider issue 3. The main character Jacob runs into a coffinmaker's shop to hide from the Cavalry. As he enters, the art turns from fully inked to just pencilled (see panel 1) until he busts out.
I was all ready to ink the pages as usual until I was struck with the notion that they were fine the way they are and would make the sequence more interesting and moody as just shadowy pencils. Also I decided I would ruin them if I tried to achieve the same effects using pen, brush and ink linework.
I dropped a multi-colored texture over the whole indoor sequence and in the nebulous areas of the panels where detail gets lost you can see pink and blue and green blotches, which is a sort of colorful way of representing what your eyes might see when you can't make anything out in near-darkness.
Anyhow, if anybody has comments, please post! Thanks...

Here's a pen and ink panel from a sequence from issue 4. I'm not done with this part of the project so it might all change and this picture might be sent packing. Anyhow, here it is...
Last edited by kev ferrara; July 6th, 2007 at 10:23 AM.
Man, i like your color art, but the black and white is really something weird!! You got a great talent with inks... Do you use brushes?
Max, thanks for the compliment.
Yes I use a brush (Windsor Newton series 7 sable 1,2 and sometimes 3) on a lot of my ink work. And various pen nibs (hunt 22s, drawing nibs, nothing too thick, not the teeny tiny kinds and not penmanship/calligraphy nibs). It really depends on what I'm feeling like and what the picture calls for and whether my brushes are "working" that day or not. Or if the piece of paper I sketched the drawing on has too much watercolor paper-type "tooth" I can't use pen on it because the lines will etch/scratch into the surface and the ink lines will seep, bleed and spread, etc, which is not good for fine work. (Although I bet the seeping lines can be a cool effect on something more Dulac-esque, using sepia or light gray ink for instance.)
The brush has so much more versatility but is much harder to control. When I have the brush working and I can draw with it and do cross hatching and the fine linework I love so much, you won't see me use anything else.
The pen is a much more intellectual instrument, not nearly as expressive (unless you exert 40 pounds of pressure per square inch on it.) and when the point sticks into the paper it's like scratching your fingernails across a backboard. It also blobs up sometimes and the nibs get crudded up quick. And if the instrument isn't easy to use, forget it. The work's going to come out labored looking because you are struggling with crummy tools.
The pen is also harder to make "fresh" because the strokes accumulate and start to dirty up the page. And if your hand shakes its like a seismograph needle. You can see every little tremor. When I'm doing some fine work and I feel my hand about to shake, I'll extemporaneously design into the line a place where I can pirouette or dance the nib on purpose, so at least I will remain in control of the design.
Any false move makes the pen line look indecisive, like I'm searching for the right lines and guessing about the edges and forms. Art greatly suffers from a lack of conviction in any part of it.
Pen also tends to work best for outlining, which flattens forms. In order to use it in a more painterly fashion, I have to think of the drawing more like a painter, which means doing a lot more form drawing and light thought.
Whereas with the brush, it's so much easier to create a silhouetted edge with one sweep and thus begin to establish the form of an object.
The big thing is decisiveness and integrity shows right through the strokes. It can't be faked or hidden under the carpet, no matter what the medium. One sure stroke does the work of forty indecisive ones, except much better!
Aristotle in Poetics says, use nothing more than is needed and nothing less. If one stroke says it all, why waste people's time with two? (or forty two for that matter!)
Anyhow, the real secret to inking for me was gleaned from Harvey Dunn's great lecture notes from 1934. Essentially the advice was not to think about the brush strokes, whether its pen or brush, ink, oil, crayon or pastels. The real secret to inking, wood for instance, is to "think wood". Don't think pen strokes, or "how would my favorite artist do this". But imagine you are drawing the real thing and interpret "wood" through the implement you're holding and the medium it broadcasts. See through the technique to what is actually important; the drawing and design and the spirit of the thing.
Hope this helps (for those pen and inkers out there who are interested...)
P.S. I took a look at your site, Max... Nice Pro Stuff!! Really fine work. Congratulations!

The best souvenirs to bring back from Russia (that are difficult to get anywhere else in the world)
Hand painted lacquer boxes. I wish I had purchased more of these! The workmanship is unbelievable with intricate detail. You can find small boxes starting at $35 with prices up to $12,000 for those painted by famous artists. Heirloom quality boxes can be found in the more reasonable $100 - $600 range. They often depict stories of Russian Fairy Tales.
Ushanka caps
(fur hats with ear flaps) Traditionally made of fur - most tourists can
find them with faux fur. Pins with the Soviet or Russian Federation
crests can be purchased to add more Russian style to it. These are so
warm they are now standard issue for Russian military uniforms.
Delicately embroidered linens: tablecloths, pillowcases or traditional children's tunics such as this one.
The world famous Matryoshka (stacking) dolls. These start with simple sets of 3 to extremely detailed sets of up to 14! Most feature the traditional "doll" face but you can also find many themed sets. This is a Christmas set and a set telling the story of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears".
Souvenir eggs - this one made of carved wood with the icon Madonna and child hand painted on it. You can also find tiny enamel egg charms for necklaces or bracelets designed in the fashion of Russia's world famous Faberge jeweled Eggs.
Kohkhloma tableware (photo credit - Creative Commons License >>) These hand painted wooden bowls, spoons and other items have been a folk art tradition for hundreds of years. They usually red, black and gold with a floral pattern.
Vodka and unique vodka glasses: There are of course tons of varieties. I even saw vodkas that came in bottles shaped like Matryoshka dolls or space rockets. Russky Standart is a high quality one rarely found outside Russia.
Other favorites are elaborately carved Birchwood boxes, jewelry and stones from Siberia made of Amber, Malachite and Charoite, chocolate and communist era military souvenirs.

In our furthering adventures, the Kuharski family braved the 60 degree temperatures of the Duluth sky walk to watch the Christmas City of the North Parade Friday evening. Afterwards, we went home and had some hot cocoa and cookies. NOW... Here's the question... When you make Campbell's Tomato Soup, you mix in a can of milk correct? Isn't that how you make HOT COCOA too? I ask because some in my circle would use water! Heck, I bought Half & Half specifically to make the cocoa creamy! Bad move? We did use real marshmallows. SO... How do you make your cocoa? Do you use a powder? Maybe a super-secret, closely-guarded family recipe. SHARE IT!

Biggest Distractions for Dogs
Squirrels, bicycles, deer, runners

So far our biggest distraction has to be the black bear we saw. The bear was munching on some berries and my dog Tymba ran up behind him and barked! The bear turned around and started chasing Tymba and he was running back toward me! I just stopped made myself as big as possible started waving my arms and started yelling. Luckily the bear stopped and ran off into the woods. Really don't want to do that again.

I live in a suburb north of Dallas Texas named Plano. Our community has an abundance of wild critters. The ones that cause my Boston terrier and French bulldog to "charge " are the rabbits that lay in the greenbelts, parks, neighborhood yards and walking trails. My dogs don't hear a word I say when they bolt after them. Although they are always on a leash, sometimes if I am feeling up to it, I run behind them for a bit so they can have their cheap thrill and exercise, letting the retractable leash out as far as it can go. Poor pups, my 11 year old Boston has never caught one and my 6 year old frenchie just discovered what they were about a month or so ago. Lol. One day I am going to let them just run run run and get those rabbits. Lol

Beowulf is distracted by rabbits and robins. He doesn't bother the squirrels anymore and all other birds he ignores. Yet, those two are his white whale. He'll do flips on the leash to try and get to them.

My rescued golden seems to alert on other dogs when we are on a walk; especially smaller dogs. I have to keep him on a prong collar as he will pull VERY HARD to get to the other dog. I have tried in every way to train this out of him but to no avail. Other collars or leads did not work at all. Sunny is a large golden and I am a senior woman. So the prong collar is the only tool in my arsenal.

1-2 Wonderland Charm Packs (depending on size, I used 1, that did not include the t-shirt applique)
for optional t-shirt
heat & bond lite
Turn skirt inside out. Measure elastic to size and thread though casing. sew elastic together and close casing.
BRAVO! This is sooo cute... I will definitely be making one for Paige! Thanks so much for posting such a wonderful tutorial!
okay loving it! too cute!
Absolutely adorable!! And I know I've got the perfect charm pack around here somewhere....
This is so cute!
oh my heavens.
this is amazingly adorable!!!
I love this. I have 2 little girls that are going to love this also. I was wondering how did you make the owl. Do you have a pattern for the owl?
I posted a link for the pattern for the owl.. it's at the top under Garnishes!
Fantastic. So sweet of you to share. :)
Great job! And this is so very cute! I think my granddaughter would love one! Beautiful work!
super! Bravo!!!!!!!
Darling!! Is a "printer-friendly" version coming? It's just easier since heaven knows I may not get to it this week! :)
Adorable! ooxx`jodi
This is sooo cute! What a great idea!
Adorable! Wish my daughter was still small. :)
Holy cow! That is the cutest thing ever! So glad I found your blog!
Darling! I AM linking!
how cool is this? just bought this charm pack and now I know what I'm going to do with it. thanks!
I think I want to adapt this idea for me, and not for my daughter...or maybe we could have matching patchwork skirts...
Too fun!
This is adorable! I think I'm going to make one for myself! :)
Love this too! May try one in my size ... would need lots more fabric though!
made one love it can't wait to give it to my grandaughter. thanks
Awesome - my 9 y.o loves it and wants to make it ... hmmm! I don't even know if i can do it - however your tutorial looks very detailed so i should be right ;) Hope so - will let you know.
I love this! To those of you commenters who made this for yourself, any tips on how much fabric to use?
I was looking at this pattern and wondering- you say you did 20" x 1.75 for the gather which is 7 charm squares, but then you use 14 squares because you have 7 in the front and 7 in the back- is this correct? That would then be a total of about 70 inches around instead of the 35 inches. Can you help me understand this?
I made 3 of these this past week! One for my step daughter (8 years old) and 2 for my nieces (3 years old and 18months). These skirts are darling! I love this idea and the instructions were very clear and super helpful.
To Betsy who was wondering about 35inches vs. 70inches/ 7 squares vs. 14 squares... I don't know a lot about sewing, but I can tell you that it works out having essentially 70inches/14 squares all together, I believe because the rows get gathered so much. Even for the littlest ones that I made for my nieces, I still used 7 squares across because their waists were about 18 inches around (instead of 20, like the girl in the pattern's).
I also made the waists adjustable by creating an opening in the side and using elastic with button holes cut in it. You just pull the elastic as tight as you need it and secure it with the button.
I made one too! www.digitalfowlers.blogspot.com
Just had to leave you a link to my blog post, where I made your skirt, Melissa! Thanks so much for sharing! LOVE ! http://jinnynewlin.blogspot.com/2010/11/happy-birthday-adina.html
Made this adorable skirt for an upcoming art auction, thanks for sharing! Love the way it turned out!
just made the skirt! my daughter chose the colors and loves it! thanks for a GREAT tutorial!
OMGosh! I love love love this skirt!!!
I have that exact fabric and have been holding on to it until I found the perfect project. Just found it! Thanks for sharing!
I have 3 boys,so I don't get the joy girliness so much in our house. I do have 4 nieces though!
These would be precious! Thank so much for the post and for spending your time sharing it!
It seems Good fit, nice length, decent material. I am very satisfied with its stuff and will want to purchase it..
Awww that looks adorable. I can never seem to find patterns that look good together. How do you do it???

Editors note: This article examines Republican presidential candidate Gov. Mitt Romney's economic plan for the U.S. On Friday, President Barack Obama's plan will be reviewed.
(RNN) - After hundreds of rallies, scores of fundraisers and three presidential debates, President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney had plenty of chances to publicize their platforms.
An incumbent's policies are generally easier to publicize since they have been in the public eye for the past four years, but a challenger must advertise their platform in a convincing way.
The Romney campaign recognized this early and released a 160-page booklet that offers 59 policy proposals. It is boiled down to a five-point plan for "a stronger middle class" on his website
The plan divides Romney's ideas into five basic categories: "energy dependence," "the skills to succeed," "trade that works for America," "cut the deficit," and "champion small business."
Dr. Oliver McGee, a professor at Howard University and author of Jumping the Aisle: How I Became a Black Republican in the Age of Obama, said Romney realized his five-point plan had to be easily understood in order to reach the electorate.
"You have to keep it simple," he said. "You have to keep it straight forward. It has to make economical and political sense. And it has to reach the masses so you can sell it in a sound bite."
The plan has met its fair share of criticism from the political left, claiming it lacks depth.
"The plan allows Romney to say what he needs to say so that everyone will like him. The plan is trying to please everybody and make everyone happy," said Henry Schissler, a social sciences professor at Housatonic Community College. "There are no real specifics there."
Schissler suggested there is no way the five-point plan would ever work for the complex issues that face the country, and Romney is using the simplistic terms to be everything to everyone.
McGee said the plan makes sense because it represents three key pillars the country needs for a successful future: capital, technology and competition. He argued it is a "national security plan."
Referencing the first point, energy dependence, McGee argued the U.S. has enough oil within its borders to supply the world two to three times over. Romney's plan promotes development of oil, gas and coal production while creating energy jobs and making the nation a more competitive energy market.
Opponents disagree, pointing out the five-point plan promises to "eliminate regulations destroying the coal industry." But you'll have to dive into the 160-page plan to discover what regulations Romney is talking about.
The regulations, dubbed the "hazardous air pollutants rule," were put in place by the Environmental Protection Agency, not directly by Obama. Romney claims the regulations were encouraged by the president, and that the current administration has an "unhealthy 'green' jobs obsession" that could cripple the coal industry and kill jobs.
He has not explained how he would replace the EPA regulations. Instead, he touts that studies show green jobs could hurt employment rather than help it.
Under Romney's "skills to succeed" section, one of his goals is to provide access to affordable and effective higher education options.
"You need the capital to invest in the development and advancement of these technologies," McGee said. "We need to develop Steve Jobs-type engineers, scientists and mathematicians who know how to create the technology, and the experience for people to understand the technology, engage it and use it."
However, in his full plan Romney does not explain how he would do so. Instead the plan explains how Romney would cut the number of what he deemed redundant job retraining programs, with as many as 44 out of 47 on the chopping block.
Romney's plan would also scale back federal control of those programs. His administration would turn over organization and control of the money to the individual states, with as yet undefined consequences for funding misuse.
Also to help business growth, Romney would eliminate Obamacare to get rid of federal mandates that burden lower levels of government and business.
"It may be a good idea that we want to provide [healthcare], but the federal government can't do it all. They have to delve it down to the states, municipalities and the books of small businesses," McGee said. "And if they look at their books individually they all say, 'We're already trying to handle Medicare and Social Security. And now we have to take on this?'"
Romney's administration proposes changing the tax code to encourage Americans to buy their own health insurance. The change would get rid of the cost advantage of buying health insurance through an employer.
Critics point out Romney says he would make healthcare reforms that control costs and improve care, but he does not specify deductions or credits to make individually purchased healthcare affordable.
The unspecific wording throughout Romney's plan has been a regular target for Democrats, particularly focusing on the "champion small business" point.
"He doesn't even define what a small business is. Because when I think of small business I think of a 'mom and pop' store holding on for their dear lives. But that's not what his small business is," Schissler said.
He maintained Romney shouldn't expect much if he does not put Democrats' questions to rest.
"If he gives details, maybe he'll get elected. But without details, it's not going to be pretty for him come Nov. 6," he said.
However, McGee said he believed the Romney campaign should not dwell on the specifics, since the message of his plan is strong.
"If you think you can lay it all out on a website so that people can find out all the minute details, the other side has a whole army of fact checkers that can simply rip it apart to shreds so that your plan doesn't even make sense anymore," McGee said. "And that's not just for the Romney plan. That applies to the Obama plan as well."

Food is your body's main source of energy fuel, but the wrong choices can leave you foggy, groggy and exhausted instead!
some energy busters to avoid are things you'd least expect! Like sugar substitutes
Even though they'll save you a few calories, your body is unable to digest most sweetners.
They also can cause stomach distress like bloating and gas--TOTAL energy drainers.
Because of the sugar substitutes, you should also limit your sugar free gum. Plus, the act of chewing alone can cause you to swallow air—another cause of bloating and gas.
For extra energy, add healthy fats to your diet like avocados, nuts and olive oil.
foods will also drag you down. A good rule of thumb is to opt for foods that
have the shortest list of ingredients.
Never eat sugar by itself. Save treats for after a meal with both protein and fat. Doing so will slow your body's absorbs ion of sugar, and prevent sharp ups and downs.
And water water water. We're told all the time to drink up…and energy is one more reason to follow that advice! It's amazing how worn down you will feel when your body is dehydrated. Start by just having an 8 ounce glass of water with every meal. Allow yourself to enjoy fruit for breakfast! Another tasty way to replenish your body's fluids.
And finally, the big debate, energy drink vs energy bar. When you're in a pinch, go for the bar! Drinks cause a quick boost in energy but it's usually short lived. A bar will keep your body going longer and has more nutritional value—but remember, the less ingredients, the better.

Two things; #1, if he doesn't grow out a Magnum PI 'stache like that for the rest of the season I consider this bye week a complete failure. Like that has to be priority 1A with getting his hamstring in order 1B. And #2, this ad is a 10.
PS: Cue all the 'guess he should spend less time making ads and more time stretching his hamstring' idiots. They can get in a boat with the 'we? I don't recall you doing anything' and the 'if you criticize the team you're not a true fan' folks and take a one way trip to Belize.
Double PS: Off topic; I think 'handyman' might be the sneaky greatest job to have to get women. Like in my short life I've learned that nothing is a bigger turn on to women than a dude who can fix things with his own hands. Like I think it might even outrank rock star or athlete. I know there's stories of Mick Jagger and Gene Simmons hooking up with thousands of women but for some reason I feel like Bob Vila hears that and smirks saying 'that's cute.' In retrospect I should have taken that shop class in high school senior year instead of 3 study halls.

Tongue cancer is a subgroup of head and neck cancer. Cancer develops from the squamous cells of the tongue. This leads to a local tumor growth with spreading later.
Cancer occurs when cells in the body, in this case tongue cells, divide without control or order. Normally, cells divide in a regulated manner. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue forms, called a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant tumors, which can invade nearby tissues and can spread to other parts of the body. A benign tumor usually does not invade or spread.
Tongue cancer is often grouped with other mouth cancers, such as cancer of the lips, hard palate, cheek lining, the portion of the mouth underneath the front of the tongue, or gums. These cancers are collectively known as oral cavity cancer.

The exact cause of tongue cancer is unknown. However, the following lifestyle factors may be related:
Factors that can increase your chance of developing tongue cancer include:
If you have any of these symptoms do not assume it is due to tongue cancer. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions.
Tongue cancer may be detected by your dentist during a routine dental cleaning, or by your doctor during a routine physical exam.
To confirm diagnosis, your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. This may include examining your tongue
for lumps or masses. A fiberoptic scope may be used.
When tongue cancer is found, staging tests are done to find out if the cancer has spread. Treatment depends on the stage of the cancer and the size and location of the tumor.
This is surgical removal of the cancerous tumor and nearby tissue, and possibly nearby lymph nodes. This is often the preferred treatment when the tumor is on the visible side of the tongue, when it is less than 2 cm, and when it is on one side and does not involve the base of the tongue.
This is the use of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. This method is used when the cancer is at the back of the tongue.
Chemotherapy is sometimes used with radiation to destroy the cancerous growth, especially if surgery is not planned.
After treatment, your doctor may recommend:
To help reduce your chance of getting tongue cancer, take the following steps:

A Pop-Up Apartment at The Yard
Showhouse Tour
Name: The Yard
Location: Long Island City, New York
Size: 650-square-feet — 1-bedroom condo
Modern Spaces has taken brokerage and marketing of new condos at the Yard to a new level. The model apartments benefit a long list of local artists and a female furniture design duo who transform salvaged wood scraps into signature pieces!
Nightwood, the deconstructed furniture and textiles company, is very into modern rusticity. That's just the look Modern Spaces and the Yard were looking for, so they basically gave Nightwood carte blanche to furnish a couple of model units. We-Are-Familia, a local art collective, provided all the artwork. Each model unit is a Pop-Up gallery, meaning that everything on display is also for sale. As artwork and furniture is purchased, the artists and the furniture makers provide similar replacements.
The impact is tremendous. The furnishings tie together well because they originate from one aesthetic. And the natural materials make for a very homey feel — rarely the case in a model apartment. It's great exposure for the artists and designers. It's a great new approach for marketing condos. And prospective buyers see something innovative, local, and sustainably produced - a combination of ideas that is inspiring from every angle.

creepy owl.
totally creepy owl.
love everything but the owl...it gave me the heebeegeebeez!!!
anyone have an idea where that couch is from?
I really, really liked this place! I could easily see myself living there and having bought those things.
Couple things I do need to mention - I did NOT like the photo of the young girl with the cigarette - A: it's disgusting and B: it's irresponsible. I don't care if it is art.
Is that door in the first pic the front door? it's SO narrow!
I didn't find the owl creepy, but I was amused by the lock on the cage! Is it to keep us out or IT in!
And finally - AT! FLOORPLAN!
I have that porcelain bust in the last frame, bought it years ago, and the store did not know anything about it. Does anyone here know? Love all the pottery and porcelain.
I also liked this place, and actually thought the owl is kinda cool. But, I definitely could not care less for the girl with cigarette photo. Is there a reason why you chose that photo?
The repurposed wood furniture is a total turn on. Love the owl and the cage. Great collaboration between owner and artists. Fantastic presentation!!
*could care less* sorry!
Very cool, love the way the dining chairs have been upholstered, and the couch has great lines.
@ barb in ct - it's a photograph by sally mann - it's a candy cigarette.
Yeah that horse painting not being centered is really bothering me. Is it an accident?? Is it on purpose?? I will be thinking about this all day!
Couch is from Accentuations in Brooklyn.
Love the couch! And the owl freaked me out! Thanks for clarifying the candy cigarette, pillbox; that image disturbed me, too.
First time I've seen Roseville pottery anywhere other than an antique mall full of old ladies or stashed in my mom's glass cabinet. And it actually works pretty well here.
So loving the concept of a pop up gallery. This is beautifully done.
Couple of comments to help the artists in their next model: Agree about the horse print over the bed. Either center it - or go for intentional asymmetry. As it is just a little off center, it looks sloppy.
The owl is totally creepy. Since this is a staged environment, I wouldn't recommend something as polarizing as taxidermy. Afterall, you want to help the management rent more apartments so you can keep staging.
And I must admit I was also offended by the young girl with cigarette, whether candy or not. I think that's because I saw a young teenager smoking today while waiting for a bus. Sad.
such a lovely home!
apart a few details, I totally love the concept, so beautifully done
Ah, I LOVE Nightwood!! Their stuff is amazing.
This is probably going to come across as nit-picky, but I do really want to mention that describing them as a "female furniture design duo" is disappointing. Calling them a "furniture design duo" would certainly be sufficient. Specifically pointing out that they are women makes it seem like there is an expectation to look at their work differently, and why would that be the case? I'm sure that was not the intention, but I hope you are aware that using language like that is belittling and sexist.
And really, it's just beautiful furniture!
very cool, but where are the closets?
mmmm, that couch. and the dining chairs! I'm loving the textiles in this tour. can anyone tell me where that comforter/duvet is from? because I want to go to there.
Really like the "Pisces" pillows! Where did you get them or did you make them yourself?
I like how it's serene, but not minimal or "uncluttered."
The person responsible for hanging the art in such a haphazard manner should be fired. The furniture and some of the decorative items are cool, but this doesn't even look like a finished space.
>*could care less* sorry!
You were right the first time. Actually you probably meant you don't care for it at all, which is closer to what you said originally.
Awesome recycled wood furniture by Nightwood!
@Sousani - That phrenology type, ceramic bust is a new piece, a decorative take on the old medical Phrenology heads. Do a search on "phrenology head with butterflies" and you can see a few places have it offered for sale.
Nicely staged and I appreciated the whimsical touches. It's not too precious, stiff or fresh-out-of-the-box, as so many staged spaced tend to be. But what's with a "female furniture design duo?" I found that much weirder than the owl or the girl pretending to smoke.
meh.....not my style and I also was offended by the picture of the young girl with the cigarette, real or not, it gives the impression she is smoking! The owl is creepy.
love the layout and multiple exposure. i would die for north and west windows ... or any two directions for that matter
i'm pretty sure this is NOT 650 sq ft. I found the floor plans and I believe this particular apt is one of the "I' layouts -- 787 sq ft.
NONE of the windows open except the door to the balcony? And that bathroom looks like its out of a restaurant or museum, and not in a good way. But a nice job of showing off the duo's repurposed word furniture. I probably can't afford them, but you should put them in the Marketplace, AT!
The owl in the cage and the unhappy little kid smoking the cigarette go together. They both say, "I don't care about other's suffering; I think it looks cool." Now you just need to add a pic of some guy in Guantanamo above a cool looking couch. Then we'll see who comments on the couch.
The photograph of the girl "smoking" is from photographer Sally Mann... and that was her daughter with a candy cigarette. She photographed her children and just let them "be". I love it. It's beautiful.
And, love the apartment! :)
Thanks Pillibox for letting us know who the artist is for the girl with the candy ciggy. I actually love the photo and love it more knowing it is a pretend cigarette. I remember pretending my candy cigarette was real and it never made me desire to smoke. It is what it is, an image. Anyhoo, back to the point, I adore this apartment but the bathroom is very new york condo, slick and modern. not a fan of the bathroom. Love the creepy owl :)
If you're looking for the "creepy owl" that people are referring to, it is photo #22. (I was curious, too!) I absolutely love the photo of the girl smoking. And that painting of the little house in the snow is sublime! Thanks for sharing!
I assume the owl is stuffed, right? I mean, not alive? Because I can't imagine any one would want to keep such a big wild animal locked up in such a small cage. That would be like serving a life sentence for the bird and I would find that really offensive. In my opinion, birds have the right to fly free outside with other birds and not live in with humans in modern apartments.
Hi Everyone, and thanks for all your comments positive and negative, I'm Eric Benaim, the owner of Modern Spaces who is marketing The Yard and who collaborated with We-Are-Familia and Nightwood on staging this apt... To answer a couple of questions,
1. Your right this is a 787 sqft apt not 650, that was an error.
2. An explanation for the art not being hung so straight, The apt that this was originally in had been sold and we had scheduled to move the model to a higher floor the day after Apartment Therapy was supposed to come and shoot the apartment, there was a mix up in the scheduling and the apartment was moved the day of the shoot... So that is why some of the stuff might be a bit off, as both Nightwood and We-Are-Familia weren't able to make it that day for final styling.
3. Regarding the Owl, the OWL in the cage is a Keepsake Box that is part of the Art Collective We-Are-Familia, one of 25 keepsake boxes in total. This one was commissioned by The Museum of Art and Design for There Metal Ball event and Fundraiser and was on display at the Museum until we were able to get it back for The Yard... http://www.on-verge.org/tag/art-collective/ here is an article, the next series of Keepsake Boxes are being commissioned by Fritz Hansen and will be on display at The Fritz Hansen Showroom in Soho beginning November 22nd i believe.
4. The phrenology Head, and Dishes with birds on them were purchased at A&G Merch in Williamsburg, everything else was brought in from various flea markets and places like Build It Green.
The Pop Up Apartment has been a success having sold several pieces already, Nightwood and We-Are-Familia replace the pieces as they are sold.
The Idea of a pop up apartment was because i got bored of all the other model homes being staged looking like someone just ripped a page out of CB2 or West Elm, i wanted something different, so i approached my friend Jennifer Garcia who runs We-Are-Familia an Art Collective that Nightwood is also a part of... This is what came of it.. I gave them lots of freedom, and having also contributed with some pieces like the stuff from A&G Merch and the couches etc.
If anyone is interested in previewing the yard, you can visit TheYardLIC.com or looking for assistance in finding a home go to ModernSpacesNYC.com
Thank You All..
i love the natural feel of the place. the owl is pretty kool too. the cigarette photo would obviously be misunderstood by most who know not of its origins, still with all due respect to the artist, but i would remove it. i love the originality and creativity of your idea overall!
I had to shut down the page when I saw the owl. Not because it is creepy like everyone else said, it hurts to see an animal locked up in a small cage..
I love this concept as refreshing alternative to typical sterile, generic model apts and as support & exposure of local talent. Not sure why everyone is so freaked by owl installation. It is neither live owl, nor taxidermy from what I can tell but a realistic artist's construction or model. I personally dig the furniture and the art.
I was shopping at goodwill one day and came across one of those blue plates w/ the bird on your table! I grabbed it immediately and looked for more but there was just that one, all by itself. I bought it anyway and just love it!
pier723, just so you know -- the expression is "could NOT care less", as you said the first. The idea being that you care so little it is not possible to care less.
Love everything except the bathroom. The owl....obviouslty a conversation starter
Love the horse picture above the bed, but what is that stick in the jar on the dirty place mat? ew.
Hmmm....This tour makes me want to paint unicorns and go searching for fairy-sticks in the woods. hehehe
LOL, I like this tour - this is kinda what I would like to do in my barn and/or creek cottage...except more sleek white than rustic, since my barn itself is rustic enough already.
my only complaint is that fake-y looking shrubby thing in the living room.

- 3 charms packs solid (I used 9900 11)
- 1 charm pack prints (I used Salt Air by Cosmo Cricket)
- 1/2 yd for binding
- 2 yards for backing
- 44" x 60" batting
1) Sort your charm pack by color. If you do not have 5 distinct colors, you will need to repeat one or two of the colors (I suggest making A and B the same).
For this quilt, you will need:
- 4 charms color A
- 5 charms color B
- 8 charms color C
- 9 charms color D
- 9 charms color E
- 90 charms background
2) You will need to trim some charm squares down to 2.75" x 5".
- color C
- color E
- 17 of the solid
* Pay attention to the direction of the prints. C pieces are vertical, E pieces are horizontal.*
3) Take one 2.75" x 5" print and one 2.75" x 5" solid. Align them with right sides together and sew along one side with a 1/4" seam allowance. Press seam open. Repeat for the remaining 2.75" pieces.
4) Lay out your quilt according to the diagram.
5) Sew the rows together. I prefer to sew the pieces from each row into pairs, then sew the pairs together until all 9 blocks are sewn. Press the seams in alternating directions.
6) Sew the rows together. Again, I sew them into pairs, then sew the pair together until all 12 rows are pieced. Press seams open.
7) Trim off the selvages from your 2 yards and press out the center crease.
8) Baste, quilt, bind.
* I spray basted, quilted on the diagonal following the design, and zig zag bound the quilt. Don't forget to label it too! I designed my labels in Illustrator and had them printed with Spoonflower. *

When you were 18 you probably never thought, or maybe you even swore you would never drive one. Then you had a kid, then another and then you broke down and bought the box on 4 wheels. And it's all over. Sure you try, you wear the cool shades, you crank the Van Halen with the windows down. But then you see your reflection. And it all comes back. You're a minivan driver. And you're late for soccer practice.
But forget all that for now. Because here's another reason not to have kids>>
