Paris vs. New York

Vahram Muratyan (ooooh! so French!) is a Parisian graphic designer in NYC. Not too long ago he decided to create comparison prints between Paris and New York and the results are charming and witty and (at least in an iconic manner) honest. He's not selling them yet, but they've been very well received so I imagine it's only a matter of time. Visit his blog and site.

Ok, I got a little carried away with this one—I just love them all so much! There are even more (and he's adding often) so go visit the blog.
I'm obsessed with the idea of NYC. How could you not be really? So much history and glamour and personality in a tiny, tiny space. Taschen has published a new book "New York—Portrait of a City" that has some stunning photographs. As long as we're already in a New York State of mind, I thought I'd share some of those pictures as well.
