Thursday, May 31, 2007Interpol art Yet another cool poster by Jeff Kleinsmith of Patent Pending Industries. If only I had been in Seattle I could have seen more than just the poster... Interpol is a frequent circle studio fave. posted by: chris on 05/31 at 03:43 PM permalink category: designers & artists Wednesday, May 23, 2007new arrival In the next couple of weeks we will be adding many new pieces to our collection, like this pear shaped carnelian set on a wide sterling band (our photographer's favorite).

She has a sultry Portishead meets The Supremes sound that is stinkingly fresh yet vintage at the same time. This gem is sure to be on heavy rotation in the studio. posted by: chris on 05/20 at 04:41 AM permalink category: music/what's spinning Wednesday, May 16, 2007Fashionista Magazine Do you need something to read while traveling back to Paris from your photo shoot in Milan? Try Flashfilm, an international fashion, design and lifestyle magazine packed with interesting interviews of emerging artists, designers, musicians, and photographers. The photography is wonderful, especially the city galleries featuring Las Vegas and New York. Even I was fortunate enough to be interviewed awhile back, check it out here. posted by: chris on 05/16 at 03:30 AM permalink category: blogs & sites of interest Monday, May 14, 2007color dance Need a little uplifting color and design in your life? Check out this fluid dance series of hand-stretched canvas prints from Avalisa, extremely cool. I also love the clean website design that beautifully showcases the work. posted by: chris on 05/14 at 06:03 PM permalink category: designers & artists Sunday, May 13, 2007Relax…It’s Mother’s Day Moms...enjoy your day.

Dads...clean up that mess. shown: mother & child pin posted by: chris on 05/13 at 06:47 AM permalink Saturday, May 12, 2007what’s spinning: Feist The first thing I did this morning was open my mail which included this new CD by Leslie Feist. I'm loving it. It seems very appropriate background music while I rush to finish up the last wave of Mother Day's gifts. I'd better hit the workbench. posted by: chris on 05/12 at 06:16 AM permalink category: music/what's spinning Friday, May 11, 2007Sub Pop Art Since way back in the early days of bands like Velocity Girl, Nirvana, The Fluid, Sebadoh, Codeine and Zumpano (to name but a few) I've been a fan of Sub Pop Records music and a subconscious fan of their cover, poster, and T-shirt art. Now the amazingly cool graphic work of Sub Pop artists Jeff Kleinsmith, Jesse LeDoux, and others is available @ their Patent Pending Industries. I believe I may need a concert poster or two to adorn circle studio, perhaps this Wilco poster by Jeff Kleinsmith right above my desk. posted by: chris on 05/11 at 05:20 PM permalink category: blogs & sites of interest category: designers & artists Thursday, May 10, 2007Summer Catalog: HOT After some last minute touch-ups and additions, the circle summer catalog is now available.

I then spent a solid hour realizing that I don't know how to do anything other than make jewelry. Swing by if you have a question or if you are an expert who'd like to lend hers/his expertise on, as far as I can tell, any subject.Ladies, be sure to enhance your knowledge on topics as varied as how to pour a beer, how to date a British man, and how to go braless, but for your own safety, please do not exercise your new-found expertise on these topics in the same evening. posted by: chris on 05/09 at 02:04 AM permalink category: blogs & sites of interest Sunday, May 06, 2007what’s spinning: The Black Angels It's been raining angrily in Western Iowa now for two days and The Black Angels' album Passover is helping me keep my head above the water and on my work. This moody, low-fi, fuzzy collection is one of my favorites from last year and today it is the perfect sonic compliment to the beautifully gray view of the city from my studio windows. I'm sure the lawyer's offices above and below love the rhythmic THUMP. posted by: chris on 05/06 at 04:10 AM permalink category: music/what's spinning Saturday, May 05, 2007missed opportunity Last month I had the opportunity to see Modest Mouse in concert but I reluctantly passed (I was in desperate need of sleep, the show was on a Sunday night, the following week was going to be exceptionally brutal, etc., etc.), I have regretted the decision ever since. Here is what I missed. posted by: chris on 05/05 at 06:07 AM permalink category: music/what's spinning Friday, May 04, 2007Friday procrastination assistance: Movie Minutes If you are a free-timeless film lover (like me) who doesn't wish to blow two hours on a movie that blows, try browsing the New York Times Movie Minutes section. They've a collection of video mini-reviews by film critic A.O. Scott whose reviews are iron-clad, brief, insightful and filmed right in the middle of the New York Times news room. Best of all, he spares you the films that you already know would be a waste of time. posted by: chris on 05/04 at 03:15 AM permalink category: procrastination assistance Thursday, May 03, 2007Mother’s Day idea Mom would love a pair of light, handcrafted earrings like these wind spiral earrings for Mother's Day. Take a look at our earring collection to see these and many, many more. posted by: chris on 05/03 at 01:55 AM permalink category: circle news |
