“My work reflects our society’s obsession with beauty through advertising – and the endless images that bombard us daily. It is a purposeful intermix of images derived from advertising and thousands of incongruent pieces – images and text – from advertising that arrives through my mailbox. Assembled like a mosaic; the paper tiles create an entirely new image – an eclectic and tactile portrait reworked in my imagination, utilizing materials that would otherwise go to waste.” —Sandhi Schimmel Gold

Gotta Love the Farmers’ Market

This little piece of awesomeness is at one of the entrances to the Santa Cruz Farmers’ Market. I’ve always really dug it and thought that I’d share it with all of you.

The bike valet thing is a really simple and cool way to make events more people- and planet-friendly. If you want to start a bike valet but aren’t sure where to begin, check out How to Run a Bike Valet, a piece I put together for Shareable with a lot of help from KASH of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition.
