Speaking of public art - New York artist Gwyneth Leech has made something of beauty out of what others would have made hundreds of pieces of trash. Saving her used coffee cup each day, Leech marks it with the date, location, and type of drink she enjoyed before layering it in her elaborate and colorful marker designs. “Hand in hand with her installment’s idea of reusing, finding art and expressing creativity in everything,” Leech’s work is viewable 24 hours a day as it hangs in the Flatiron Prow Art Space until December 31.

Maps, maps, maps. As someone who has been known to get lost in the stretch between her apartment and her building’s front door, I can’t speak highly enough of them. These great Theo Inglis New York postcards may not have the exact specifics you need to find your way to dinner on time, but at least you’ll be in the right neighborhood, probably, as long as you’re not me.

This designer guy Vahram Muratyan makes minimalist visual designs showing the differences between Paris & New York that he posts to his blog Paris vs. New York.
These are a few of my favorites.
