Anything But Blah
Posted by: Jocelyn Edin
Here in Ann Arbor, Michigan we are experiencing the very monochrome days of winter; many shades of white, gray, and brown. While there are moments of frozen wow, see Jeff’s moonshadows below, the majority of our day-to-day scenes are rather blah. To offset this, at least once a week I like to visit the blog of illustrator Helen Dardik.

A Map at Atlas? Go figure.

Recently, I read an article in Metromode about Detroit Regionalism and it made me think of a photo I snapped during the Q retreat. The crew had dinner at Atlas Global Bistro on Woodward (which was delicious!). In the foyer of the restaurant was a sprawling map of Detroit’s suburbs on the wall. As a downriver native (Taylor, see arrow on map), I was excited to see a reference to the surrounding suburbs, when usually it is the opposite. References to the city are everywhere in the suburbs, but rarely is the relationship flipped.
A Gem of a Jewelry Studio

The afternoon of our Q retreat in downtown Detroit, we were given some time to ourselves to explore and discover. I walked a mere two blocks and came across a small studio gallery which quickly beckoned me in.
Visit to Rivera Court

Our recent Q retreat ended with a visit to the Detroit Institute of Arts. I always stop and see the murals by Diego Rivera in the Rivera Court.
