For those of you who haven't checked out the magazine LoftLife Magazine - The Loft Style Guide to Life in the City, it is a must read. And I don't say that only because I am on their 'Board of Experts' - the Editors and Creative Directors at LoftLife Magazine are top notch. Their style and editorials are fresh, relevant and timely. Last fall Kyra Shapurji, Managing Editor and Linden Hass, Photo Editor of LoftLife Magazine paid me a visit at my office in Vancouver to firm up a feature they were doing on favourite shopping spots of mine and a few other Design Professionals in Vancouver. Linden Hass shot a few pictures of me and the drawing below is what resulted.
I love the illustrations for LoftLife Magazine done by the talented Graham Smith from San Diego. He illustrates the masthead and the Panel of Experts for LoftLife Magazine. This month LoftLife Magazine is going to be on national newsstands: Borders, Barnes and Noble, as well as Hudson News. So pick-up your copy and read their articles. In the current Summer 2009 issue of LoftLife Magazine I particularly like:
- LoftLife - Allure of Amsterdam: Dutch Design Beyond Droog. (I am lusting to visit Amsterdam)
- LoftLife - Paper or Plastic? (really gets you thinking and hopefully acting)

ReplyDeleteNever seen the Magazine but would love to get my hands on a copy. I will travel out to borders and pick one up, should be a good read on my vacation starting this weekend, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove the sketch...I'm off to check out the blog now.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of Amsterdam as well!
And...I love Droog- the company bridges the gap between the city's artist co-operatives and production design; those Dutch are so forward thinking!
Congrats!...with you as expert, it must be a great publication :)

ReplyDeleteHey Patricia, it's been a while since we last "saw" each other....
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know about LoftLife. I'll be on the lookout for this month's issue. Great sketch of you :-)
If you go to Amsterdam, you should take a side trip to Bruges. It's a wonderful city with so many interesting things to see and do :-)
Thanks for letting us know that you like our new blog design :-)
