San Francisco Art Deco & Modernism show

We exhibited at the SF Art Deco & Modernism show this weekend. Looked at some nice collections, and marveled at the snazzy attendees in vintage dress. The guys put together a great looking booth, and here was the result.

Film: The Lovely Bones

The guys recently put up this amazing Jere black bird sculpture near the display window. We're loving the graphic, illustrated style of this wall piece. Kind of like a "murder of crows" in a gothic slash MCM sensibility. You think? Coincidentally we were admiring the cinematic saturation of Peter Jackson's upcoming film, The Lovely Bones, when lo and behold the Jere sculpture pops up in the Mark Whalberg scene, looking all kinds of dark & ominous (but still fabulous mind you)! Check the full force of the trailer below.
