Custom Artwork

The Smallest Boy

This is artwork even the boys from “A Clockwork Orange” would think has keeshkas (that’s guts, for laymen). Inspired by Kubrick’s iconic film, this three-dimensional miniature artwork by The Smallest Boy is printed on high-quality, acid- free paper to last until you’re ancient. Precision laser-cut and hand-assembled for the ultimate in craftsmanship, this limited 100-copy edition comes ready to hang in a wood frame.

Danielle Kroll

Every line and curlicue of artist Danielle Kroll’ s illustrations drip with her distinct personality, at once sophisticated, energetic, and quirky. There’s a Parisian style (think Matisse cutouts) to her wearable designs, displaying her no-fuss brushwork, broad swaths of seductive color, and the frenetic power of collage. From tees to throw pillows and iPhone covers, her renderings of flowers, vases and exquisitely mannerist figures will have you saying, "Oui! Oui!"


Father’s Day Picks

Five gift options to make this Father’s Day as easy as Sunday pancakes:

The Dopp Kit by Curated Basics is a simple, elegant way to keep all of dad's toiletries in one place when he’s traveling for business or for fun. This dopp kitt comes in gray for the strong, silent type, and yellow for the dad who isn’t afraid of a little color.

The Airwave Card by J.Fold, made with Italian leather, helps bring order to dad's universe. So satisfyingly simple and intuitively organized, he won’t think twice about throwing the old one away.

When shopping for dad, I want to surprise him with something he never knew he loved. The Adrian Tie from Tiepology fits the bill: he’ll look great, but he would never have thought to get it himself.

A touch of the old school never hurts. The Activité Pop Activity Tracker by Withings is a watch that gives brand new technology a timeless, analogue look. Bluetooth syncing pairs this attractive watch with a health app. Looking good and feeling good is a great gift combination.

What dad doesn’t like a gadget with horsepower? Power Tube Lightning Charger by MiPow is something he’ll love for its sleek look—it’s small enough to fit into the palm of his hand. But it also has kick, giving his devices a speedy charge.
