Hellen Jo : 1 printer drum, 5 high yield toners, 800 staples, 4000 sheets of paper, and one bloody (but since healed) trimming accident later, we have made it to the final restock of the 2021 planner! I've uploaded the final 100 at helllllen.bigcartel.com, and once they're gone, they're gone! Thank you all so much for your desire to wield control over the new year with my calendar, I appreciate you 🌷🌷🌷

01/29/2021

As part of our agonizingly slow tease on the annoyingly delayed AI39 and AP36 books, here's an encouraging update:

Advance copies of each arrived today from Hong Kong. The real things, freshly printed, bound and foil embossed/debossed in all their shiny, reflective glory, as seen in this lousy, poorly lit photo (the cobbler here clearly has no shoes!)

Stay tuned, much more to come as we get them – with the year's best collections of illustration and photography – on the boat headed for the Port of NY and ultimately into your patient and understanding hands.

Are You a Scientist?

Tad Carpenter : It’s my newest books Book Birthday today!
I am so excited to share, Are You a Scientist? my new board book with Scholastic which is available today.
This book has been a true labor of love. I can not think of a time in my life where introducing even the youngest of readers to the value and importance of Science is needed more than right now. In this new board book, we highlight diverse Scientist, their tools and how they are making our lives better from their scientific discoveries.
I really hope you will pick up a copy, share with a future smartie and inspire our next generation of Scientist. We sure need them.
Are you a Scientist is available everywhere books are sold or you can pick up a copy here:

Hey There Projects

Hey There Projects : Look What We Made
New work by Rob Clayton and Laura Cooper opens January 2 in a special Los Angeles preview!
DM us to schedule an appointment to see these spectacular paintings and sculptures by two of our most beloved artists before they are brought to Joshua Tree.
Laura Cooper constructs earthenware sculptures that reflect an intimate study of nature; yet their familiarity remains enigmatic. At first these forms might remind us of branches or roots, but they seem to gesticulate with animal vigor. All the while the surfaces betray their mineral sources. @lcooperstudio
​
At first, Rob Clayton's paintings seem playful, almost childlike.
A closer examination reveals images that seem increasingly complex; both formally, and psychologically. Is that pathos roiling beneath the vibrant colors and apparent whimsy? @rclayton13
Show continues through February 12. #heythereprojects #robclaytonartist #lauracooperartist #joshuatree #paintings #sculpture #ceramicart

Empire City Men's Chorus

Something sweet from Empire City Men's Chorus (and
Mark Heflin in case you're wondering) for the holiday. From our live concert in 2019 with video by Jacob McCoy. Enjoy!

If you've ever been to our winter concert in person, then you know that singing our favorite holiday songs with each and every one of you many is a staple for ECMC.

To make up for this, we are overjoyed to share this holiday video of a concert essential, Have Yourself a Merry Christmas.

We encourage you to take a moment to indulge in this video, imagining yourself in the pews at the Church of the Holy Apostles in Chelsea, singing along with us.

Thanks to Jacob McCoy for video production!
