2011 Buy Local Calendar

Posted on by Hijiri

Did you get your 2011 calendar(s) yet? I have a few, but this 2011 Buy Local Calendar by Claudia Pearson is my favorite this year (Thank you, Randy!) — It’s on our kitchen wall nice and proud!

This 2011 calendar acts as a handy reminder of what we should be buying locally every month. Each page shows a bright, cheerful seasonal fruit or vegetable.

January is a pear month so if you see pears at your local supermarket, that’s what you should be buying :) So cute and brilliant!

I love all the illustrations, I might have to frame them after this year has been over… :)

MoMA Visit 12.16.2010

Posted on by Hijiri

I stopped by MoMA yesterday — it’s always nice to see something new for my eyes and for my heart :) There are few exhibitions going on, I got to see Andy Warhol: Motion Pictures (member preview — the exhibition starts on December 19th) it was smashing!

On Line: Drawing Through the Twentieth Century — I use “online” as Internet term, but this is very opposite from being “online” and I enjoyed all sorts of art associated with the medium of drawing.

LOVE the huge lettering on the wall. Colors are great on black wall, too.

and this live art performance — he is IN the piano, moving around and playing the piano at the same time. From the other side. The music was really beautiful, too. I enjoyed it very much.

Happy Friday!

City Posters

Posted on by Hijiri

I’m always drawn to prints/posters that are city related… I have a few city map collections, I’ve been thinking of adding a few more to the family… and these are calling my name.

Hearts in San Francisco

Posted on by Hijiri

After watching last night’s World Series game 1, my heart is in San Francisco <3 Love watching the AT&T park and San Francisco city views on TV, makes me miss it there.

These photos are one of the “Hearts in San Francisco” installation in Union Square I saw this July.

Looking forward to the game 2 tonight… and seeing you on TV, SF!
