Met home: Todd Oldham

I posted this on AT:LA today. I love the feature on Todd Oldham's house in the February 07 Metropolitan Home. I especially love the wall of Charley Harper bird prints. I also love the fact that he put his flat screen tv on the picture rail/shelf thing, and it totally blends in with the other paintings he put on there. Such a clever way of disguising the normally obtrusive television. His colors are so fun, and I love that he has paintings from Megan Whitmarsh, and a Gamma-Go club/log pillow! I'm really looking forward to the Charley Harper book coming out later in May. It will be edited by Todd. You can pre-order now!

There certainly is beauty in your blog, as well as your dishsoap...

I ran into "happy mundane" when I googled for "It's a stamp world" and it's been a daily click for me ever since.

Thanks to your post I got to know the amazing work of Charley Harper and as a former biology student and design lover, I instantly loved it.

Again thanks to you, I was able to find one of his books at amazon (not the one expected in May, that was a little too much) and I am now anxiously waiting for it to be delivered here in Portugal.

Just couldn't help myself and had to let you know you made my day!

Please keep posting.

Charley Harper is one of my favorite artists - I have 4 of his silk screens and covet Todd Oldham's book.
