The talent and pulse of Aaron de la Cruz



Aaron De La Cruz's work gracefully mingles between design, graffiti and illustration. No computer, just the incredible pulse of his hand and years of practice create such harmonious but yet free mathematical pattens. Visit aarondelacruz.com

The lack of deliberation while moving creates a tension in his work caused by the almost computer generated grid like systems he creates by unplanned mark making. The marks themselves are very primal in nature but tend to take on higher meanings in the mediums and contexts they appear on.



From tomorrow August 11th to September 1st you can see his work, and maybe get to chat with him, during his exhibition at Project Space at 603 N. La Brea Ave. in LA. The best of luck Aaron!

The Mast Brothers Chocolate from Brooklyn




Two brothers, Rick and Michael Mast, set to conquer the chocolate gourmet market with a unique proposal, true tradition and high quality ingredients. Using only the best cocoa in the world and sugar, dedication, resourcefulness and nothing else. After their crafty process the chocolate bars are finally hand wrapped in beautifully crafted papers, designed by our friends and family. Visit mastbrotherschocolate.com


They began their enterprise in their apartment, using a homemade machine to process cacao beans. Over time they cultivated their creation, sourcing beans from family farms in Madagascar, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and Ecuador. Each bar is handmade with incredible reverence for the process and history of chocolate. They are bound in ornamental papers and golden foil like a collection of rare books. Each bar offers its own story of flavors, and no two are exactly alike.
