Rebranding America.

About this piece: Andy Spade co-founded both Kate Spade and Jack Spade, and recently launched a branding studio and store, Partners & Spade with Anthony Sperduti who has worked as an art director in New York City for many years.



"Our thinking behind the assignment's solution is that by offering a simple apology, we acknowledge our mistakes with the hopes of restarting our relationship with the rest of the world."


Recently, Paper Mag brought together "15 of the country's best visual communicators to redefine our image". I really was infinitely inspired by these artists eclectic takes on what they believe our new image should be as projected to our fellow human beings worldwide.

Hi loves! I'm very busy as of late so, I'm sorry for the lack of interesting tidbits around these parts. I'm currently helping my best friend get through some tough times. However, I've been collecting some amazing imagery that has tickled my fancy & I wanted to share the beauty with you.
Enjoy.

Jen x 11.

Artist Jen Khoshbin, whose book sculputures I highlighted in a previous post, here , is the curator of a new artistic project titled Jen 11 . Basically, eleven women named Jennifer have grouped together with the purpose of creating art of their choosing to add to this "Jeneration" of artistic endeavors.

I adore the premise so, I headed over there and previewed some of the talent and I was floored by some very lovely, ethereal pieces, especially those of:


Jenifer Altman


Jen Gotch

and, last but not least by any means;



Jen Renninger

If you want to see a few other samples of all eleven of these lovely ladies talents, head to the above link.

Three galleries will be showing this exhibition:
Artstream Gallery
Rochester, NH
April, 2009
UPPERCASE Gallery
Calgary, Canada
June & July, 2009
Composition
Lakewood, CO
August & September, 2009

If you're a lucky bluebell and reside in any of those three areas, I highly reccomend you scoot over there and set your eyes on some artistic beauty.
It'll cheer you up!

I've one thing to say on this subject.

If I were Jessica, I would not pay any mind to what people are saying about her hot, curvy figure. However, I would consider firing my stylist. Those mom jeans are atrocious and to my mind, animal print is NEVER a good choice. EVER. Otherwise, yay for a healthy woman in Hollywood!
