about LP
Ours friends over at Munson Industries Inc. just put us on to LP. These guys are doing great things from what Ive found on their site.
Keep it up, we love it!
At Living Proof™ we like to think of ourselves as a publication rather than a magazine. We’ve found that while the printed word can’t keep up with the computer screen and word spreads like the plague through ethernet cables, we’ll still release our own version of a “magazine.” Rather than just a mere trend report, we’ve cultivated Living Proof™ into a basic book of facts, knowledge, stories, and pretty pictures designed to easily slide between the Encyclopedia and the entire Pantone Library on a book shelf instead of winding up in the plastic casket that is a trash can. Best of all, Living Proof™ is completely free! Pick one up if you see one. It won’t cost you a cent. As a small format magazine (5″ x 7″) we’d rather turn up on counters and window sills in art galleries, apparel boutiques, and record stores than get fondled, shuffled, clustered, lost, skipped over, and rusty while jockeying for position in the wooden deathtrap that is the magazine rack at most bookstores.
the mountain label
I love when the boundaries of art and life seem to blur, which is totally the case with the home of artist Christopher Bettig of the mountain label. One look at the LA home of this frenchman (who grew up in NYC and CT and studied at mica), and I was instantly reminded of his work – with its fresh, whimsical feel. I also love how it’s a mini gallery to show off his favorite artists. Click here for more, full-sized images and here for all our wonderful sneak peeks.
