Mid Century Modern = Top 5 Blogs

Atomic Indy seals top 5 spot.


(this is our badge to prove it)

Brief post to offer quick thank-yous. Shakin' hands and kissin' babies so to speak. Gratitude extended to you for:

1.) Voting for Atomic Indy.

2.) Suggesting a vote to others.

3.) Tolerating our propoganda and campaigning.

Was particularly touched by comments amassed on voting site. Too kind.

We were visited by 275, 100% new readers through Top 50 Indiana Blogs. Several of them have already joined the Atomic Indy Facebook Page and/or followed on Twitter. In short, they're hooked like the rest of us.

Mission to increase Mid Century Modern interest and awareness deemed a success. Plot of world domination by way of "Mid Century Modernizing the Modern World" is well underway.

We can now return you to your regularly scheduled Mid-Century-Modern-loving programming.

Cheers,

-Baz

P.S. Quick shout out to my father, Col. "Baz" on Veteran's Day. Thanks for the love you gave through service.

Vote Atomic Indy

Vote for Mid Century Modernism Awareness.



Am normally not a "vote for me" kind of guy. So hear me out.

Indiana's Top 50 Blogs contest is going down. Normally wouldn't notice. But our great friend Joe Shoemaker took it upon himself to nominate Atomic Indy. Quickly 116 others followed him and we now sit in 16th place. (update 11/6/09: 5th place. Keep 'em coming!).

With so much grassroots support, only seems right to make a run at this thing.

Please click here, then click "vote". That easy. No registration necessary.

Not in Indiana? No matter. Simply ask yourself, is Atomic Indy my favorite blog in Indiana? Yup. It is. Click "vote".



A vote for Atomic Indy is a vote for Mid Century Modern awareness and preservation.

I'm Baz, and I approve this message.

Vote here. Vote now.

Cheers!

Mid Century Modern Artists

Artists inspired by Mid Century Modern inspirations.

These are a few of our favorite things.



We're gaining renovation ground. This brings us closer to making art selections for near-finished walls. With this notion top-of-mind, we cast our attention on a few of our favorite contemporary artists playing in Mid Century Modern sandboxes. Grab a shovel and pail. Dig it.

Jenn Ski has long been on our radar. She lives in a sweet Mid Century Modern home, which brings a level of authenticity to her work. Her use of color and atomic amoebas beckon and entice. We're hooked.

Below are several of our favorite pieces. For more, check out her site.

David Paul Seymour is a graphic design animal of epic proportions. He claws his way to the surface with Mid Century Modern inspired pieces that echo the whimsical work of Jim Flora while revealing the sensibility of truly modern design techniques. He's kind of a rock star.

And he sent me a birthday card, so double points.

Check out some work samples below. For more, hit his site.

Jim Ward Morris fires on all cylinders for us. Simply put, his work can hang on our Mid Century Modern walls any day. His eye for aesthetic integrity culminates in a balance of photography and graphic design layered eloquently with just the right patina of vintage.
