Jason Goodman offers all three on an afternoon tour of 3rd Ward, his art and design collective located in a converted Bushwick, Brooklyn warehouse. As executive director and cofounder of the D.I.Y. haven, he’s allowed to drink while looking in on jewelry-making classes and speaking over the roar of table saws and patting iMac-glued video editors on their backs as he walks by. ]]> http://www.cityist.com/features/jason-goodman/feed/ 2 http://www.cityist.com/features/annie-and-maggie-ford-danielson/ http://www.cityist.com/features/annie-and-maggie-ford-danielson/#comments Wed, 08 Dec 2010 20:10:05 +0000 admin http://www.cityist.com/?p=9500 One would assume that the house of one of the creators of Benefit Cosmetics would be a Willy Wonka-esq delight of lipsticks and eye shadow, and that her daughters Maggie and Annie would don false lashes before they spoke their first words. “Contrary to popular belief we didn’t really grow up in a girly house filled with makeup,” said Maggie, “I think I became interested in makeup in middle school, maybe sixth or seventh grade when most other girls do. I remember wanting to wear Lip Smackers from Bonnie Bell because that’s when it was really cool to collect them and they have a lot of flavors.”]]> http://www.cityist.com/features/annie-and-maggie-ford-danielson/feed/ 0 http://www.cityist.com/features/mina-stone/ http://www.cityist.com/features/mina-stone/#comments Wed, 08 Dec 2010 20:08:06 +0000 admin http://www.cityist.com/?p=9497 You won’t find Mina Stone’s studio in the Garment District, or any of the other usual spots populated by New York City’s young designers. Should you wish to seek her out, you’ll have to travel to The Fulton Mall, a noisy and well-populated stretch of downtown Brooklyn. There, among the crammed jewelry shops, 99 cent stores and Foot Lockers, you’ll find the creator of airy, hand-dyed silk frocks and jumpsuits. The clothes are sophisticated, almost serene, in marked contrast to the hectic surroundings. It’s a contradiction that’s perfectly at home for Stone, who has made her way by trusting her instincts, and often being in two places at once. ]]> http://www.cityist.com/features/mina-stone/feed/ 0 http://www.cityist.com/features/conrad-keely/ http://www.cityist.com/features/conrad-keely/#comments Wed, 08 Dec 2010 20:04:44 +0000 admin http://www.cityist.com/?p=9493 Conrad Keely does not travel lightly these days. Meeting him downtown at a Soho lounge on an unseasonably warm afternoon, he enters carrying a large leather case. One would assume the …And You Will Know Us by the Trail Of The Dead singer and guitarist would have one of his instruments in tow, but not this time. Rather, Keely has a large black satchel containing sketches and paintings from the last 20 years— because Keely is now an artist.]]> http://www.cityist.com/features/conrad-keely/feed/ 0
