'In The Prism' Print
A cheerful geometric composition featuring a perfect circle hovering above a vibrant triangle - the sort of thing that makes you wonder why you didn't think of it first. Titled "In the Prism," this 22" x 22" digital artwork celebrates the unlikely friendship between shapes and color. Created with professional-grade printing equipment on archival matte paper, every subtle texture and hue is rendered with the kind of care usually reserved for things that actually matter. It's the print equivalent of finding twenty dollars in an old jacket pocket, except it lasts longer and looks better on your wall.
Having People Over
In a world that often feels disconnected and transactional, there's something quietly radical about inviting people over. We're talking about the kind of hospitality that doesn't require matching napkins or a kitchen that looks like it belongs in a magazine. Chelsea Fagan, author and CEO, has written a book that actually understands this. Having People Over is the kind of guide we didn't know we needed--one that treats entertaining not as performance art but as a genuine way to build community. She walks us through the practical stuff: how to design a space that doesn't stress us out when someone drops by, how to plan a menu that won't trap us in the kitchen, how to set a table without overthinking it. The book covers the basics we've somehow forgotten. There's a section on cocktail hours, past and future, with recipes for those of us who drink and those who don't. There's the full dinner party tutorial--inviting people, setting the mood, actually enjoying yourself while it's happening. And maybe most importantly, there's permission to do this at whatever budget makes sense for us. It's a book about creating moments worth staying in for. Not moments that look good on Instagram, but moments that feel like home.
