We’ve been so busy in the studio lately, making tons of new work for the holiday season. Apparently, we’re not the only ones already planning for the holidays, because Hatch has declared our Midwest seed bombs the Environmental Stocking Stuffer of the Week. Thanks for the shout-out, Becky!

Our Midwest Seed Bombs are included in the debut issue of Lonny Magazine, a new venture from some former staffers at Domino Magazine, which folded earlier this year. Lonny is an online publication which allows you to instantly purchase the products seen on its pages.

The Topiary Park in Columbus is a three-dimensional version of Georges Seurat’s famous painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Isle of La Grande Jatte. It includes 54 human figures, eight boats, three dogs, a monkey and a cat, all made of yew.

Curl up on the couch with the paper? Don’t mind if I do! Located at 1159 North High St. in the Short North district of Columbus, this limestone sculpture was designed and carved by Akron-based artist Robert Huff.

Being a hopeless urbanite, I’m fascinated by small town water towers. They serve as landmarks much like a city’s tallest skyscraper might, but also as “welcome” signs, welcoming travelers to many small towns across the country.

Here’s a cool ghost sign in the Short North district of Columbus, on the corner of North High St. and East 3rd Ave. Hmm, I leave town every once in a blue moon, only to find the same things I always seek out in Cincinnati.
