Would You Want These Sculptures in Your City?
I'm a big fan of public art in general, and I'm digging the childlike whimsy contained in these aluminum sculptures, entitled "Moonrise Sculptures: March, October, and December." Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone, who often adapts pop culture phrases into unique art pieces, is responsible for these cartoon-like busts, which sit outside a plaza in downtown San Francisco. Would you want similar sculptures in your city or town?
Top Design, Episode 2: "Archie Bunker"
So, I'm not sure if anyone else had this issue with Top Design this week, but on my cable package, The Rachel Zoe Project was actual rerunning in the normal Top Design slot, and TD wasn't on until midnight. I love me some fashion, but you all know I love my design shows a lot more.

The Card Shop: Yee-Haw Industries Spring Tree Cards
If you're not going to send a card you can plant, the next best thing is to pick up a set of Spring Trees Cards ($20) by Norwegian illustrator Bjorn Rune Lie. The eight unique stylized trees letterpress printed on recycled cardstock can be sent to an octet of your favorite pals, or framed and hung in your home.

More often than not, it's built for child's play, but they're often commissioned for trade show booths, movie and TV props, and retail environments.

Deck the Haus: Urban Outfitters Charlie Brown Tree
I've had a love/hate relationship with Charlie Brown ever since I was a kid. In fact, if truth be told, I probably relate more to Lucy and her football than Chuck and his constant anxieties. Still, I can't resist this Charlie Brown Christmas tree $24.
Great Art Online: Yee-Haw Industries
Yee-Haw Industries was established by partners Kevin Bradley & Julie Belcher, who opened up shop from a back-40 barn in Corbin, Kentucky, with salvaged, antique equipment. Their vibrant, folk art, wood cut prints of country music's classic stars, such as Hank Williams, Dr. and Loretta Lynn, caught eyes and told stories. Soon, modern music acts, including Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, and Southern Culture on the Skids began commissioning promotional posters and album art.
