New York Celebrates Moleskin

From June 1st to June 29th [Detour:The Moleskine City Notebook Experience] is on display at the Art Directors Club in NYC. The 70 notebooks given by Moleskine to some of the most creative artists, architects, film directors, graphic designers, illustrators, and writers around the world, fill the endless corridor of the ADC in a project designed by Zetalab to support Lettera 27 , a non-profit organization whose mission is to defend the right to literacy and education in the world's most deprived areas.

And one of my personal favorites from Ruben Toledo's sketchbook.

Garden in Transit Coming To New York This Fall

This Fall, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of New York’s first motorized taxi, over 13,000 New York City yellow taxicabs will be covered with bright, colorful flowers. It's all part of "Garden in Transit", a massive public art project funded by Portraits of Hope, a non-profit arts, education and creative therapy program.

Starting last September, New York city school children from local hospitals, after-school programs, and recreation centers have been painting colorful flowers onto self-adhesive stickers that will then be affixed on yellow taxicabs beginning this coming September.
