I met illustrator Jesse Lenz the other day while freelancing at Men’s Health. Jesse’s numerous clients also include Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, Money, SPIN, and others. His recent work is pretty cool. Here’s a few of my favorites…

Newsweek: Murdoch Meltdown Mayhem. Cover illustration for an article about Rupert Murdoch. Sadly it was bumped from the cover last minute due to breaking news on a different story. Illustration by Jesse Lenz

 

Men's Health: How to ride an ATV (and look like you know what you're doing). Illustration by Jesse Lenz

The New York Times Book Review: Cover and feature for Monica Ali's new novel. It is about what if Princess Diana had faked her own death and eventually gone to live under an assumed name in America. Illustration by Jesse Lenz

A logo doesn’t sell, it identifies. A logo derives its meaning from the quality of the thing it symbolizes, not the other way around. A logo is less important than the product it signifies; what it means is more important than what it looks like.

— Paul Rand

Logo for The Gate, luxury condominium residence, Hoboken, New Jersey: BoJoda Design. Typeface: ITC Rennie Mackintosh.

I designed this logo for Jenniann Barile, developer of The Gate, a 10-unit Arts-and-Crafts influenced luxury condominium apartment complex in Hoboken, New Jersey. Charles Rennie Mackintosh was a Scottish architect, designer, watercolorist and sculptor. The font is ITC Rennie Mackintosh, which was inspired and developed from Mackintosh’s impeccably hand-lettered architectural renderings, posters, book jackets, etc. Ms. Barile traveled to Glasgow, Scotland with principal architect Dean Marchetto, where they studied Mackintosh’s work. Marchetto reinterpreted Hoboken’s traditional forms by incorporating elements from the great Arts-and-Craft’s architect’s designs. The Gate’s brick facade and vertically punched windows are a nod to Hoboken conventions; its black lintels and modern rooftop cornice pay homage to Mackintosh. The building has won several awards, including the Residential Architect Design Award. The building, as one judge said, “understands history rather than mimicking it.”

Agraz Architects, architecture, Casa G House, Ricardo Agraz

The G House in Valle Real, Zapopan, Mexico was designed by architect Ricardo Agraz. Agraz studied the solar paths of the terrain and incorporated a series of slots in the ceiling. These allow a sharp flow of light lines that work as a solar watch where time passes by. It’s a beautiful house; a prime example of architecture as art. (MORE)

Dawna Markova, life, Markova, meaning of life, purpose, what is the meaning of life

There is no such thing as finding one’s purpose. It’s about creating the conditions where your purpose can find you. It’s not about asking what is the meaning of life, but rather asking what your life means.

— Dawna Markova

I’m going on a Hidden Harbor Tour tonight and I’m excited! I’ll board the Zephyr at Pier 16 in lower Manhattan at 6:15pm and explore the Brooklyn waterfront down to Sunset Park, over to Kill Van Kull and Howland Hook, back to Military Ocean and Global Marine Terminals and finally, past the Statue of Liberty on a two hour tour. FUN! This particular tour is sponsored by OpenHouseNewYork (OHNY) and the Working Harbor Committee. Exploring New York Harbor by boat is an interesting experience as well as a pleasant and relaxing way to spend an afternoon or evening. NOTE: tours often sell out quickly so plan ahead. (MORE INFO)
