We are interested in the manifestations of unexpected creativity. Perceptive, lucid, patient. Practical, positive, detached from artists’ egos, searching the globe to bring you just works that work.</blockquote>http://ericellis.tumblr.com/post/45275578377http://ericellis.tumblr.com/post/45275578377Wed, 13 Mar 2013 12:15:12 -0500worksthatworkpublicationdesign<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/2aa3dfd2e918778a14d28c9eb46dcfc6/tumblr_miucdbAkJz1qzt33wo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ca4098cfee0f0fd6b25538cb21340bf6/tumblr_miucdbAkJz1qzt33wo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://www.processjournal.com/product/process-journal-edition-eight">Process Journal Edition Eight</a> looks fantastic!

The following is an excerpt:</p> <blockquote> <div> <p>In 1896 Louis Henry Sullivan wrote an article titled  “The Tall Office Building Artistically Considered”, arguing that in order for a building to be an effective service to mankind, it’s form should be dictated by its function, which is to say that its design and construction should be reflective of the work and life taking place within, rather than a thoughtless combination of walls floors doors windows and pillars. As sure as this argument can be applied to office buildings, it can be applied to coffee pots: enter the Chemex.</p> </div> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://qtrqtrqtrly.com/sound/chemex/" title="Chemex" target="_self">Brew on</a></p>http://ericellis.tumblr.com/post/42942501720http://ericellis.tumblr.com/post/42942501720Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:19:00 -0600writingtextcoffee
