Hello all,

I've just opened a store on Etsy and am selling some of my etching prints. They range from $15-$30 (Pictured: Mongol, $30). More will be put up shortly.

Hello! It's that time again. What time you ask? It's time for me to shamelessly self-promote myself. I know what your thinking, "That's my favorite time!" Me too. I have entered yet another Design by Humans t-shirt contest. Except this one is a little different, because this particular contest is for one of my favorite bands, Incubus. Luckily, I already had a relevant doodle that I drew months ago. So, I took it and made a little rocket ship out of it. The challenge with this is the fact that it doesn't look very Incubus-y. Its a little more fun and light-hearted than the usual Incubus fair. Anyway, I need your help. Please go to designbyhumans.com, sign up (takes less than 2 minutes) and click the vote button, and if you don't like mine go ahead and vote for something you do like. Its ok, I wont hold it against you… forever.



Stay tuned for a desktop wallpaper using this design.

Hey Everyone –

This week is a special one on NYC Grid.  Throughout the next 5 days we'll be exploring all of Roosevelt Island – from South Point park, all the way up to the Lighthouse, and everything in between.  We kick it all off today with a trip on the Roosevelt Island Tram. So stop on by – there will be over 400 new photos in the galleries over the next week, so there's plenty to take-in.

I'm really pleased to announce the availability of new NYC Grid Prints. Starting today you can order beautiful, large-scale prints of select photos from the site. For more information visit http://www.nyc-grid.com/prints

But because all you people on MySpace and Facebook are so charming, if you place an order between now and June 7th, you can save a little bit of cash by entering the coupon code "facebook" during checkout.

Well, I made it! 100 blocks covered...and still going strong!

As a special treat today, for the 100th (official) post, I've gone out and re-visited several locations that my grandfather photographed way back in 1961. The result is a side-by-side comparison of New York, 48 years apart.

Post:http://www.nyc-grid.com%2Fhome%2F2009%2F4%2F17%2Fnew-york-city-1961-vs-2009.html

Surprisingly, very little has changed.  It's all in the details: Trees that have grown, walls that have been changed, cabs that have massive tail fins. Even though I've been scrutinizing these for a week, I still love just staring at them and finding all the little differences.  It's like a demented, historical Where's Waldo.

Now, in a fit of shameless self-promotion, I present you with the standard collection of social media links, should you feel so inclined to share your love of these photos with everyone:

Digg: http://digg.com%2Farts_culture%2FNew_York_City_1961_vs_2009_pics%2F
Reddit: http://www.reddit.com%2Fr%2Fpics%2Fcomments%2F8d7sn%2Fnew_york_city_1961_vs_2009%2F

And of course, please send this around to anyone you feel may be interested in old junk!

Cheers!  Here's to (at least) 100 more.  Thanks for your support!

Hey kiddos,

So we haven't been good with updating PIDspace. We hope you can forgive us.

Want you to know that there is a ton of new stuff on the blog since the last time we had a face-to-face.

Shalimar and I have been attending free figure drawing classes over at the School of Visual Arts. These are our drawings from the last two sessions we attended:


Our drawing classes resume mid-January. Until then, go eat a potato.
