Oh this is neat. City in a JAR has created a sleekly designed glass jar full of tiny pins, each featuring a landmark from your favorite city. The first city is Minneapolis, but I’m hoping more are to follow soon. Each pin is a tiny nugget of great design. I’m thinking these would make great favors for events. If they make a Detroit JAR I’m definitely getting one for Speaker.

Esopus Magazine is a unique bi-annual magazine about art, writing, design, and music. Esopus contains actual tangible pieces of art: Esopus 12: Black & White contained a removable booklet of a featured artist’s sketches, a film strip from a medium format camera, and more. It isn’t the most well known publication, so you won’t find it just anywhere, but fortunately you can find a list of locations on the Esopus website.
They also have a gallery space in NYC that always has something exciting going on.
