Every Tuesday, Critical Mass pokes around the art blog world so you don’t have to.
—Handmade in PA gives a nod to crochet artiste Angela Davidson. Her googly-eyed monsters may make a great gift for your niece or can add a bit of kitschy pizzazz to any humdrum room. Perfect for those who are afraid of soulless stuffed things coming to life and eating your brains. Pick up your own at Angela’s Etsy shop.
—Local artist Todd Marrone has stuck his Toddy Marronecock on a bunch of the Exit Skateshop’s merchandise. Come to the opening reception of Custom Cruisers and get first pick of his one-of-a-kind funny-face skateboards.
—Philly print-makers Hot Dog City make maps and tables pretty enough to frame. PW Style’s a fan, but the whimsical depiction of Philly as an island-unto-itself may make a cartographer cringe.
—McJawn got its hands on some pics of the soon to be released remake of an old friend — POLAROID CAMERAS! Pulled back from the brink of demise, the classic camera has been rehashed to look even more dated than before. Expect hipsters to rejoice.
—Have a hard time wearing the same thing in a month? Imagine wearing the same thing everyday. Green Philly gives a shout-out to sustainable fashion with “The Uniform Project†— a video chronicling 356 days in the same dress.
