SCIENCE and MECHANICS is a Magazine from the 60′s, “The Magazine that shows you how” on Mechanics and other Hobbies and Science projects. I used to read this as a kid in the Dentist or Doctors office. This post is the follow-up to Primp & Preen Vol. 01 which was about essential grooming products , now you have the guide to getting a proper shave in 10 minutes. Great for the traveling man.

As I mentioned early this year, we are doing the branding and marketing for a new building (174 Jackson Street, Williamsburg Brooklyn, NY) This set is some of the great swipe we found during the research stages. “Touch the past in order to craft the future.” Enjoy!

I was so lucky to have my uncle’s beach house in Milford, CT for the 4th, the misses and I toured around the neighborhood enjoying the fresh New England sites. We stopped by our good buddy Adam Meshberg’s house from the Meshberg Group to have a spectacular meal and watch the fireworks on the beach.

Tomorrow (06.14.10), our good friend and collaborator Benjamin Belsky is launching a pop-up shop for his new S/S10 handmade eyewear line Mayfourteenth, at 252 Fillmore and Haight Street in San Francisco, CA., and will stay open till (07.14.10). We worked together to print the bespoke wall for the shop (stay tuned for photos). Ben also collaborated with world renowned artist Peter Gronquist to adorn the shop with his incredible gilded weaponry. When sitting down with Mr. Belsky in NYC a couple of weeks ago, I was able to view the entire insane collection. When looking closely at the acetates from Italy, I realized they reminded me of the the stalagmites and stones that one would find in a cave. We then came to an agreement that Ben’s process is somewhat like a cave miner, digging for precious stones and brilliant gems. As a visual study, I pulled together some imagery for a side by side comparison, enjoy. Check out the site www.mayfourteenth.com
