The Sock Drawer: August 2010

Tuesday, August 24, 2010

I draw a lot of socks, but what strikes me about this particular sock is the speck of dust on its instep.

Miranda: As a graphic artist, it has always been a thrill to see my designs take shape from ideas into the forms of magazines and websites. Lately, however, I have been thinking of different ways to approach art and design. Short of eating one's own art, I can't think of a better way to celebrate good design than to wear it. Beyond its functional purpose, a sock's basic shape lends itself well to design. Just don't lend them to your friends. Nothing sours friendships faster than disputes over borrowed socks. Thank you for taking the time to read my sock blog. If you would like to see some design samples, or if you would just like to talk socks, please feel free to reach me by phone, email, skype, or homing pigeon. Don't worry, I'm nice.
