A Beautifully Designed Map of Manhattan - Jim Datz

Love this poster of Mahattan (titled 'Man Hat Tan') that was a collaboration between Three Potato Four and designer Jim Datz. It combines several of their loves (and ours) - New York City, typography, color, 50's inspired illustrations, and urban signage.

The first edition quickly sold out (in a week and a half) but… Continue

From Abandoned Farm House to Life Size Dollhouse

This is an older story but one that I wanted to share. Back in June 2007, Saskatchewan artist Heather Benning transformed an abandoned farmhouse in southwestern Manitoba into a giant dollhouse.
