Hard to believe I have been designing our holiday card for twenty years! The concept for this year came to me while shooting my portfolio this fall. We were capturing some examples of previous cards, and it dawned on me everyone in our house was spread out across the country this year, and I would not have a group shot. Then inspiration hit…
It is a mad dash to get it all done this week. I am excited for what’s ahead for Curatorial Me in 2017, but first I must get Christmas wrapped.
Sharing my gift ideas that are perfect for that special person who likes to keep things high contrast. These goodies may be themed to black and white, but there is nothing basic about any of them!

Artist and designer, Ben Pieratt creates collages out of old deconstructed books.
“It feels like an honor to be working at the end of one era and the the beginning of another. If print is dead then it’s the internet that killed it, and so it seems necessary that Dead Bookstore is about both. My goal is to transform and exploit the remains of the print industry, a deconstruction and opportunity centuries in the making.”
