WILLIAM BROWN PROJECT NYC MAP

HERB LESTER ASSOCIATES AND I TEAMED UP TO PRODUCE A MAP OF SOME OF MY FAVORITE GO-TO'S IN NYC. THEY HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB IN ITS PRODUCTION WITH A TERRIFIC BIT OF GRAPHIC DESIGN FROM MIKE MCQUADE. 

THE MAP IS VERY FOOD AND DRINK HEAVY WITH A GOOD DASH OF RETAIL AND GROOMING. CHECK IT OUT AND SPREAD THE WORD.

HOMETOWN BEAUTY

THIS VEST WAS MADE IN MY HOMETOWN IN THE 1930'S SOMETIME. THIS IS THE SECOND VEST LIKE THIS (WITH THE SAME LABEL) THAT I HAVE RUN ACROSS. I SOMEHOW LET THE FIRST ONE GO BUT, THIS ONE I'LL KEEP. THE DETAILING AND CONSTRUCTION ARE AMAZING.
