It was a great start to the week with the delivery of John Grider’s “A Brief History of Everything” piece at Denny Kemp Salon on E. Hennepin. The installation went perfectly as everyone at the salon that day stood in awe of the amazing collage and stencil work done by John.
Here’s a peek…

The picture pales in comparison to the real thing. Stop by 322 East Hennepin Avenue (across from Surdyk’s) sometime and see for yourself how wonderful it looks in its new home. Many thanks to Farrell and the others at Design Within Reach for their foster care this past month! We love you!

i’m so blown away by everything that happend last week/weekend. Minneapolis is wonderful!

Voltage on Wednesday was amazing. The designers, the models & the bands = perfect.

Our good friend Eric Inkala has been out on the road touring with the Rhymesayers crew for some time now and we miss him. Somehow the fine folks at formatmag.com sat him down long enough to ask some questions for their online magazine. See the article here.

We’re looking forward to having you home again soon, E.
