Instagram is overflowing with talented nail artists who constantly remind me how artistically inferior I am. When doing my nails, I usually stick to the most basic style: the two-coat single color, occasionally featuring a matte finish if I’m feeling adventurous. However, once every few months I go on a limb and try to re-create…

I cited an article in ARCADE magazine by Schema Design that plotted demolition permits from 2005-2009, and from 2010-2015 (projected). A graphic that ran with the original article, not my story, heightened the dramatic sense of demolition being more…

See How This Stacked House Conquers a Queen Anne Hillside
An impossibly steep Queen Anne hillside turned ultimate residential retreat
“Can this thing stand up?” Brandon Mullenberg asked when reviewing architect Mark Haizlip’s initial scheme for his and wife Nikola’s new Queen Anne home.
