C'H'C'M' Pop Up Shop: New York, NY
Today was the first day of C'H'C'M's 4-day pop up shop. C'H'C'M', a Brooklyn based online shop, carries some of the finest American and European brands and focuses on classic, timeless garments. Founder Sweetu Patel walked me through the shop and showed me some great items from brands such as Mackintosh, Lavenham, Saint James, S.N.S. Herning, Paraboot, etc.

Mississippi John Hurt
Mr. John Hurt was one of the most influential country blues guitar players of his time. He sang in a sweet, almost whisper like style which was the perfect compliment to his amazing bare finger picking. The video below is a live session performing his song "You Got To Walk That Lonesome Valley". More photos after the jump.
Bob Noorda Is Dead at 82
Just after my last post on typography I saw this NYT article about the passing of Bob Noorda. "Bob Noorda, an internationally known graphic designer who helped introduce a Modernist look to advertising posters, corporate logos and, in the 1960s, the entire New York City subway system, died on Jan. 11 in Milan, his adopted city. He was 82."

A few images to remember Mr. Noora by:
