inspired by . Ice Cube on Eames

· December 8, 2011

I just had to share this video featuring rapper/artistic-type, Ice Cube expounding on his L.A. and Charles and Ray Eames. If you’ve been around the Pond much, you may have sensed my love of mid-century and modern design. Today I’m inspired by it slamming into the 2000’s with a gangsta icon. Who knew the architectural drafting thing?

Check out the New York Times article featuring a Q/A with Ice Cube. The video was produced as part of the Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980 collection of exhibits showcasing the post-war art scene in Los Angeles.

Daily PONDspiration [for the well-designed wallspace}…
The watercolor work of Mexican artist Geninne Zlatkis always inspires me with its whimsy and freshness. I particularly love her stylized birds. The color, the detail and the stories she evokes draws me in every time. Enjoy!

(and be sure to browse her whole etsy shop!)

Hello & welcome! I’m Haley Montgomery, and I’m the designer and owner of Small Pond Graphics. I sometimes fancy myself a frog kisser— a documentarian coaxing poignant moments from unexpected places. This blog has evolved from those moments.

The small Pond FIELD GUIDE is part diary, part sketchbook, and part wish list – an archive of ordinary wonders. For years, this space has housed my stories – creative ideas, vintage inspiration, our forays into curious places, and the simple artifacts of quiet of conscious living. Through watercolor, photography, and illustrated tales, these pages uncover the blessing of ordinary days and the wonder found in authentic places and pursuits.

I invite you to open the boxes.
Peek into the drawers.
Rustle through the pages.
I’m honored to have you here.
