Pix of the marquee and the entrance of the famous Film Forum movie theater in SoHo, in New York City. We recently saw the Iranian film “A Separation” there. The movie won the Academy Award or Oscar for Best Foreign Film.

It’s snowing today in downtown Manhattan. We snapped this pic this morning at the corner of Ludlow and Hester streets near Global Graphica HQ.

Visual design of food: The cocoa nibs stuck to the side of this dark chocolate bar from the Francois Payard Bakery, a patisserie in New York City’s SoHo, add a layer of texture that makes this confection all the more visually appealing and appetizing.

Skippy L., a good Friend of Global Graphica, demonstrates the proper way of doing lines on a mirror … lines of brown sugar and chocolate, that is, with orange wedges and mini-carafes of high-end sipping rum courtesy of the owners of Pan American, a Latin bistro in Nolita, in downtown New York City. We love the way the colors and light reflect off the mirror. It’s super-sexy, all allusions to coke-culture aside.

DJs practicing their craft in front of Dubspot on West 14th Street in the Meat Packing District of downtown New York City.

From our City Life file … the annual May Day protest march for the International Day of the Worker, which paraded down Broadway through SoHo earlier this afternoon.

Caught this bright yellow NYC taxi driving by this bright red graffiti’d truck next to the Apple Store in the Meatpacking District of New York City and the juxtaposition of colors and the street aesthetic struck us as kind of cool.


Our beautiful margarita during a break at the recent Art Los Angeles Contemporary art-fair.

Table tennis on a summer Sunday in Bryant Park, New York City.

This guy looks like he may have had a little too much to drink the night before in Shibuya, in Tokyo, Japan.

From our City Life series: New York ad agency interactive-creative peeps in their natural habitat. (Please refrain from feeding them anything but coffee.)


Walking home from a recent party late at night in Chelsea, we discovered this Suzuki motorcycle with hilarious, sexual and offensive messages written on it.




Soccer (or “football”) in the park at Grand and Chrystie streets in Chinatown, downtown New York City.

We stumbled upon this large, white plush bear on Crosby Street in SoHo, near where the French-West African restaurant L’Orange Bleu and Bloomingdales are. How can this not bring a smile to your face?


From our City Life file . . . the desk of a producer at a New York advertising agency. What up with all the coffee cups, dude?

This tattoo is fuckin’ awesome! A cute, cartoon bear wearing an eye patch and a crown. That’s genius, kidzzz! And funny! Love it!
The tat belongs to the awesomely talented New York photographer Daniel Puissant, who was showing it off to us on a recent evening at Petite Abeille, a Belgian bistro in Tribeca. (Daniel is Belgian, hailing originally from Brussels.)
You may have seen Daniel’s work. He goes by the nom de guerre “Major Deegan” on his Flickr site, and the dude was recently profiled on WNYC New York for its Street Shots series.



Cherry blossoms in the garden at the corner of Bowery and Houston, downtown New York City. Spring is here.
From our City Life file: We stumbled upon this portable stage — a kind of bandshell on wheels — parked at Grand and Orchard streets on the Lower East Side. An indie band was playing the stage at the time — we wish we could remember their name. The stage and concert were part of the Apples on Orchard street festival, an annual event to mark the start of autumn in New York City.




From our Design and Cool Spaces file: The “Lower East Side Ping Pong Club” is a newly opended, temporary storefront table-tennis space in downtown New York City (on Grand Street, near Norfolk Street) that’s part of a collaboration with sneakers brand Puma and Grand Opening, an event-marketing agency that produces pop-ups stores. We love this!
