The Week in Pictures: 6.5.09
More photobooths! This week, I met my friend & fellow designer Pam at a bar in my neighborhood and discovered that they had a photobooth in back. Excitement! These things are so hard to come by…
Gnome sweet home. My brother thrifts some strange things. He showed up at my house a few days back with two 80s–era freaky gnomes with chipped eyes. Cute or not so cute?
Red phone booths. While on an epic walk through super cute Portland neighborhoods a few nights back, I discovered this phone booth near 39th & Holgate. They’re so increasingly rare that I wonder if the only use they get is from the occasional collect call.
No more Missbehave. I can’t believe that Missbehave is officially done. Sadness! They had recently interviewed me and I’d grown to be a huge fan of the mag (and their amazing choices in typography). You can still keep up with Samantha, the founder of Missbehave over at her other blog, The Hipster Mom.
What’s Nubby? The 2009 media kit project continues! It’s still a huge work in progress but also so much fun to do something self-initiated. I’m still working out the details including the overall visual direction, but it’s slowly coming together.
Small update: I’ve been taking less photos lately because I’ve been preoccupied with a roster of new clients including an adorable PR company in Australia, Portland’s own Monster Vintage (they just gave me the most amazing 40′s era blouse that I can’t wait to share!) and Coilhouse Magazine. The Coilhouse girls have been so awesome to work with and we just completed an advertising solution for small businesses which you should definitely check out. Though this format has been done before online, taking it to print is such a great idea. Thank you all very much for your support of Nubbytwiglet.com!
How was your week?

I’m honestly glad Missbehave has closed down. I had paid for a subscription back in February & still haven’t gotten a back issue or anything and the magazine wasn’t even shut down or an online zine then. I e-mailed customer service about 10 times over the course of 2 months about it & they (FINALLY) said they are going to send me some issues, but still haven’t. I also feel that a lot of employees were treated unfairly. So good riddance!

Crystal: Everyone has the right to their opinion but personally I’ll miss the type and layouts because I thought that they were some of the best out there…
Sara Moskovitz: Aww, I love you too! So glad to have met you!!!
Missy: Someone has to be pretty hardcore to steal that off of your balcony! And, I have the Starck gnome! He lives in my kitchen.

I love photobooth pictures! We can find them everywhere in Montreal. They’re the best to get silly in
I like the gnomes!) I had found two tacky looking geishas with bad paint jobs. I thought they were okay at first but ended up not liking them as much. I’ll be repainting them to give them a more appropriate look in my apartment.
Uber slick media pack btw!
