Sketchbook Series: Karen Klassen

Sketchbook Series: Karen Klassen: "

Looking through Karen Klassen’s very impressive and extensive portfolio, you might wonder the preparations she takes to make one of her gorgeous illustrations. Today, on a reader’s request, I am happy to share an inside peek at her many sketchbooks. In these pages, compositions are thought out, sketches for finals pieces are made, type treatments are tested, and then there are many explorations of mediums. She seems to be able to handle a variety of materials expertly from painting a realistic portrait, to collaging layers of textured papers. Thanks so much to Karen for sharing. See more of her work here.

For more sketchbook love check out Doodlers Anonymous’s post of Ted McGrath’s sketchbook.

Japan Premium Beef, Inc.

This makes my mouth water. It's one of the things I miss the most about eating in Japan.

Japan Premium Beef, Inc.: "

by Laura Neilson

Just in time for grilling season, Japan Premium Beef recently opened its first retail shop in New York's Noho district to much acclaim. Now discerning carnivores can take meaty matters into their own hands by purchasing various cuts of the importer's Wagyu-style beef, formerly available to restaurants only.

The superlative-quality beef, best known for its vividly marbled appearance, high percentage of unsaturated fat and refined flavor, comes from Oregon-raised Wagyu (or Washugyu) cattle.

Originally, Japan Premium intended to export the beef to Japan, but recent international shipping restrictions foiled the plan, resulting in the upscale butcher shop.

While the beef is certainly the main attraction, the presentation and aesthetic of the storefront itself shouldn't go unnoticed—even vegetarians can appreciate its spare, minimalist decor, befitting a scene from sci-fi flick or contemporary art installation.

'We believe that Washugyu is art,' explains manager Taiki Otsuka, of the store's all-white setting which deliberately lets the product speak for itself. Given this conceit, it seems almost fitting that Japan Premium Beef's home is a storied building once owned by Andy Warhol.

Boxed Water

What a great idea. I look forward to the day this becomes the standard.

Boxed Water Is Better: "

With Boxed Water Is Better, the only thing you're really consuming is the water itself. A new brand—and concept—Boxed Water has successfully taken the bottled water phenomenon to eco-friendly heights.

Letterpress

[from I Love Type:]I have a big soft spot for this kind of over-printed wood type letterpress. This is a piece by Matt Busher from the London College of'Communication.

And this piece is one of the very best examples of this method. The work of Nick'Sherman:

Topless man in a Sombrero makes you wanna buy Cassette Recorders

Nothing makes you wanna go out and grab the latest portable cassette tape recorder like a celebrity in a Sombrero and a holster. I'm guessing this print ad is from the 1970s.
