this blog is a-moving (update your rss!)
come may, i am leaving blogger for the glories of wordpress. all content will remain the same (sorry), but better searching and organization for you, better stuff for me. anyhoo, the rss will be changing, so go updates you rss reader now!

--> www.eben.com/press or rss link <--

the design and layout is a temporary fix, and eben.com isn't going anywhere. this is mainly a note for you rss'ers out there...hi!

potato bugs
it's springtime and the world is busy a'movin'. roly poly bugs are a'movin', and thanks to a comment from cheryl, i will henceforth refer to them as potato bugs (and no, i never really liked the term pill bugs). get going lil' potato bug friends.

speaking of a'movin', the rss for this blog is changing. i'll probably warn you again, but here you go: UPDATE YOUR RSS...or the potato bugs will come for you!

travel sketches
a bunch of travel sketches from a recent trip ... alphabets, squiggles, pill bugs (actually, i prefer calling them roly poly bugs), cowboys, brains. fairly disjointed i would say.

cafe royal
greenpoint, the fifth most livable neighborhood in new york (uh, what?) gets a new coffeeshop, cafe royal. it's a neat old space with tile floors, student style combo-desks, and a backyard. return visits will be had.

newyorkshitty.com
i recently completed a subway tile header for my favorite greenpoint news source, newyorkshitty.com. run by the wonderful and tenacious miss heather, newyorkshitty keeps an eye on greenpoint, calling out shitty developers, learning the shit behind new restaurants and bars, and noticing plain ol' poop on the street. if you live in greenpoint, i can't recommend newyorkshitty enough.

chelsea market
how come no one ever told me what a great place chelsea market was? it's a perfect place to draw, lots of interesting architectural and industrial elements, plenty of seating, and tasty eats. okay, maybe people have mentioned it before.
