Yesterday when I got to my studio I discovered that I had a new neighbor—DEEP 6 Fixtures & Goods.  Joe Wiles—Mass Art/Industrial Design graduate and Vermont Commons School/Alumni has a shop that’s filled with funky furniture, home goods, a unicycle, art and so much more that you have to swoop a few times.  Some of the goods are scavenged and some are constructed or re-purposed in unique ways.  Joe has a cool “eye” for design.  You’ll want to stop in really soon.

You can see the DEEP 6 GOODS and other vendors as well on Sunday, June 12th at the Vintage Inspired Flea Market at 180 Flynn Ave—Burlington, Vermont—noon to four.  The Switchback Taproom will be open.  Cheers!

Here’s the link to the Flea Market: BTV Flea Market Sunday June 12th

Schwinn font, a sidewalk grate and graffiti

I have always loved the faded, forgotten, worn out, torn up, paint peeling, sagging roof line, broken windows sort of underbelly of the world. It exists wherever we travel and live, unless maybe we chose one of those created, fake utopian villages designed to keep the riffraff out. Somehow these images spoke to me today. The true beauty of the Schwinn font that reminds me of my youth. The bullet hole look of the yellow (oh perfect yellow) of the grate two blocks from my house. And I am not pro-vandalism, but I am pro-being “all in” and if “juggle bricks” is the message you need to get out to the world than go for it.

Schwinn font my love…

Yes, this is beauty to me

You juggle bricks at 15 mph
