Brooklyn Bike Jumble
(29 May 2009) - All's set for the first annual Brooklyn Bike Jumble, New York's first and only bicycle flea market, this weekend. And, weather permitting, it looks to be the perfect stopover during a weekend ride around the city or to score a new ride.

Deth Killers: Dez Kiraz Volume One

Soft-Maps Quilts
(18 May 2009) - The modern grid system helped revolutionize urban life, but we generally make less of its effect on quilting. Noting parallels between the intersecting streets of Brooklyn and and the stitching across a quilt, Emily Fischer of Haptic Lab decided to fuse the two. The resulting Soft-Maps are functional quilts that she stitches with the detailed outline of a Brooklyn neighborhood, complete with hand-embroidered street...

Box & Flea Bandanas
(15 May 2009) - A pitch-perfect melding of the neo-hippie look with a biker staple, Box & Flea reinvents the traditional bandana by infusing it with a sense of meticulous craft. The collaborative effort (architect Jeremy Barbour of Tacklebox and Fleaheart's Andrew Woodrum are behind it) radically changes perceptions of this humble piece of cloth. Box & Flea's beginnings lie with the now ubiquitous canvas tote. Like many...

EcoSystems Furniture
(14 May 2009) - by Laura Neilson This past weekend's Bklyn Designs show was host to an array of local designers and manufacturers, including EcoSystems brand bamboo furniture. The green-minded company utilizes a innovative tool-free assembly system that relies on interlocking aluminum pieces rather than nuts, bolts and screws, allowing for construction of the brand's modern-looking Bamba chair in a matter of minutes—a godsend for the Ikea-weary. In addition...

Jonathan Schipper: Irreversibility
(13 May 2009) - With his high-concept mechanics, artist Jonathan Schipper's latest exhibition, "Irreversibility," is just as stunningly clever as the animatronic sculpture we watched him build a few years ago. Held at Brooklyn's Pierogi Gallery, the show is both a spectacle and showcase of recent sculptures and installations by Schipper, including "The Slow Inevitable Death of American Muscle," (pictured above) in which a live, head-on collision takes...

Plaztik Mag x Factory Fresh: Boxed In
(05 May 2009) - by Ariston Anderson A prime example of the way global economic anxieties are already showing up in art is the group show "Boxed In," the latest presented by Plaztik Mag and Factory Fresh, in which artists created their cardboard dream home.

Gabriel Jones Photography
(01 May 2009) - Montreal-born photographer Gabriel Jones is stirring up reality with his latest series, "Irhann," based on an imaginary country where failed rocket launch attempts are a true part of our landscape. We had a chance to sit down with the Brooklyn-based lensman for him to explain more about his elusive images and fondness for mystery. Where did your idea for the fictitious country come from?...

Rachael Cole Pillows
(29 April 2009) - These Village Pillows by Brooklyn illustrator Rachael Cole are a set of cushions that work like a puzzle to build a country town, including houses, trees, a car, a horse, a dog and a duck. They paint a beautiful picture as a group and work just as nicely as individual pieces. What I like about the Village Pillows is that they're playful yet mature,...

Baked Granola
(14 April 2009) - Normally bakeries aren't run by two guys formerly in the advertising industry, but Baked isn't a normal bake shop either. The Brooklyn dessert destination houses cakes like "Sweet & Salty!" and "Oopsy Daisy," "Monster" cookies and giant marshmallows, leaving us thinking guys should bake more often. While we'd love to bask in the glory of these rich, delicious desserts everyday, it's likely best they're...

Illustrator Kim Herbst
(13 April 2009) - We asked Brooklyn-based artist Kim Herbst to tell us about her distinctive illustration style. It's usually described as an organic looking graphic novel. Recently, I've had pieces accepted in CMYK Magazine and the Los Angeles Society of Illustrators. I hope to have a few short comics printed together in the near future as a mini-anthology involving origami. As a child, I always attempted to...

Pow Wow!
(09 April 2009) - The bond between brothers can be a tumultuous one, but the musical fruits are plentiful. Just ask the Kinks' Davies brothers, the Greenwoods of Radiohead or the National, who can claim two sets of brothers. This grand tradition extends to Brooklyn-via-Jersey siblings Edward and Jeff Nazareno, who perform under the moniker pow wow! The two have been playing music independently for more than 11...
