In celebration of Atlanta’s diverse mix of certified green building projects, MODA presents ATLANTA: Beyond Bricks & Sticks, an exhibition that will travel to some of the city’s high-profile venues during February and March. Spotlighting many of the metro area’s outstanding design examples, MODA’s Atlanta: Beyond Bricks & Stickstells the stories of the people who live, work, learn and play in the city’s sustainable structures. Exhibit components include an interactive Atlanta Green Map, a “What is Your Carbon Footprint?” quiz, video interviews, an intimate look at student life at Dekalb County’s LEED Silver Certified Arabia Mountain High School and many other features that explain and celebrate green living.

Curation of the exhibition includes a broad spectrum of buildings reflective of the metro area’s commercial and residential projects along with large-scale developments that incorporate environmental features. All of the exhibit’s projects either meet the US Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) green building rating system or the Southeast’s EarthCraft House certification program. The exhibit has been thoughtfully designed with sustainable materials to fit the theme while allowing for the challenges of traveling to the various settings.

LoveNests will showcase the lives of a colorful collective of Atlanta locals through design. The exhibition is a collaborative effort between Portfolio Center photography and Georgia Tech industrial design students. Through interviews, storytelling, and photography, the curators will delve into the personalities and histories of popular Atlantans and discover what objects define, inspire, and capture the essence of their individuality. Once this process is complete, the photographers and designers will work together to translate and engineer each person’s symbolic spirit, so to speak, into a three-dimensional representation. Structural, abstract, graphic and diverse, each Atlantan is tangibly personified at MODA through designed environments. LoveNests serves as an engaging, illustrative biography of our Atlanta favorites.

Remember shopping?  The thrill of finding the perfectly fitting dress, or just the right accessory to set your look off  - adding a kick to your step? Have you forgotten the smell of brand new shoes?

Its been awhile since the last post but my friend Joni started this little graphic business called Chocolate Butterbean that I had to tell yall about.  Me and Joni go way back to ID studio at GT as evidenced by this photo:

Joni was so good at handwriting letters for her sorority in college that her handwriting became known as “Joni Font” in studio.  She is doing what she loves and you can tell!  I have to find someone to get married to just so I can get her to make my invitations!

Don’t  miss out on Clint Zeagler’s Lecture at Pecha Kucha on March 8 at Octane.  Dali : Dolly :: Surrealism : Tacky.  Are surrealism and tacky really the same thing?  Why does one seem so fancy and the other seem so uneducated?  Dolly and Dali will help us answer this question.

I have decided to upload pictures of my favorite truly unique friend and tarot reader who specializes in astrology Sherri Cash!

Here Sherri Cash shows off her fifty dollar pasta salad. I asked her for the recipe and she said you take fifty dollars to the supermarket and listen to the universe, but be sure to buy pasta as well.

THE $50 PAST SALAD CASH-ROLL BALLAD

by Sherri Cash

Once she had money
now she don’t.
What most folks don’t know
is give up, she won’t.

Once rich
now poor.
One thing she’s not
is a drag or a bore.

Once she got spunky
and created something funky,
Just like “The Jerk”
she didn’t have to work.

Just kept makin’ pasta salad
to create this little ballad,
next thing you know
she had a “BIG CASH-ROLL”
When pressed for a recipe she offered up this version:

In honor of In The Bag at the Museum of Design Atlanta MODA (WEBSITE) l will be periodically adding posts about Atlanta handbag designers.

BaiXada (WEBSITE):

BaiXada is designed by Lisa Zawacki, who splits her time between Atlanta and Barcelona. You can tell the Spanish influence in her python leather bags.

Fisher came to Atlanta about two years ago but then left us for snowy areas. He’s coming down for a visit and I’ve designed a little concert for the event.

Come out to L5P on the 27th. You’ll find a Star Bar full of fun-loving people and exceptional music. You already know how we feel about Ocha la Rocha, and I asked one of my favorite Atlanta bands, Molotov Pipedream, to play too.

Forewarning: due to the cold, Fisher may have to wear socks.

Be warm with us this holiday season!

concert / saturday 27th / star bar / 9pm
