modern farmer - a print publication

david and I love a good print magazine. I love martha, real simple, and kinfolk just to name a few. And now we have another one to add to our list,

m o d e r n   f a r m e r

Here are two of the articles we love from them:

A hand written article from an Amish Organic Farmer about the benefits of Organic. So interesting. I love the hand drawn diagram of the nesting system and the old field log. So great.

 And a guide to choosing the chicken thats right for you.

Their magazine is a wealth of information for small scale farmers like us, or even if you are getting into gardening or raising chickens. We just love the quality of the publication. It's printed on nice matte paper with high quality photography, two things that are insanely important to me. 

Pick up a copy at your local book store or in their online store. 

artist inspiration

Félix González-Torres


One of my favorite artists that I learned about during my Latin American Art History class. His work is phenomenal. 


He was born cuban, lived in Spain and Puerto Rico while growing up. His career began in New York and is greatly influenced by postmodern artist. He is also greatly influenced by his personal battle with AIDS. His art is interactive and time dependent. He needs the viewers to interact to gain meaning for his work. This is one of the main reasons why I love him. David and I saw his work last summer at the Art Institute of Chicago.


His work rotates around the concept of time and permanence. How temporary things are and how they deteriorate over time. 

One of his latest works is a photo of his empty bed. He had this displayed on billboards after his partner died of AIDS. It's such a moving and personal piece. I never got to see this in person, but love it all the same.

David and I taking our piece of candy.

I have my print hanging in my studio now. 

His work is so great, I think interactive/instillation art is my favorite type, because being able to touch something makes it so much more personal.

There will also be a journal with all the states and plenty of room for all your memories. Look for the journal and this print in my etsy sometime in the coming month. 

so excited to finish a project that began as doodles 3 years ago.
