We are very excited to announce our online store. www.semigoods.com. This is the place to finally unleash that carefully curated and discerning taste, and where you can safely and securely purchase our goods whenever enlightenment strikes.

On the illustration side, we just knocked out some tee shirt designs for Ninja Tune. We were definitely excited for this one - we love the artists with Ninja Tune and Amon Tobin is playing in the woodshop daily. Check out the Ninja Tune site soon to purchase, meanwhile you can peep the designs here at semigood.com in our illustration section

We have begun a complete Interior Design build project on Camano Island, WA. Project is due to be complete in December 2007.

We have completed restoration work on an important architectural project, venerated designer Richard Neutra’s Kaufmann House. We are proud to be a part of the legacy of this design benchmark, which has become an emblem of mid-century modernism. We will be able to share photos soon!

April, 2006

Well we are finally wrapping up the big move from Brooklyn to Palm Springs and Brendan and I have had a few interesting career moves. Brendan is still up in San Francisco and has now become the Senior Designer at Dwell Magazine. I am settling in further south, getting the production up to New York standards, as well as working on several Architectural restorations that will be wrapping up over the next few weeks. More information on those projects will be available soon.

And in unrelated news, my son Tavo started walking 3 days ago. There is something so beautiful about a human beings development that can really only be appreciated when seen with your own eyes. It gives you an entirely different scope on what it means to take risks and that sometimes the biggest hurdle is just getting from the end table, to the ottoman.

Finally, enjoy the new site, and bear with us as we make the finishing touches on it over the next few months. And if you find anything that leaves you with a question, don't hesitate to contact brendan or myself.
