I’ve stayed in hotels all over the world and I must say that my recent getaway to Hotel Healdsburg ranks up there with the very best. Located in the Sonoma wine country north of San Francisco, Hotel Healdsburg is extremely well-executed in just about every way imaginable. The hotel itself has a very modern look, but still gives off a relaxing sense of warmth and charm. The aesthetic is carried over to the rooms which all feature wood floors, super-comfy beds, and huge bathrooms that feature walk-in showers and soaking tubs. All this wonderful design goodness is topped off by attentive and courteous staff. Hotel Healdsburg has earned top honors from just about every major publication including Zagat Survey, Conde Nast, Travel + Leisure, and now has a rousing endorsement from JoshSpear.com as well.

Pushing artistic endeavors in all mediums of life, artist owned and operated A Blank Project is creating everything from print and web design to fashion and fine art with a little bit of that old classic sentiment combined with new school swagger. The underlying thought– to be classic revolutionaries and to please the client's needs with uncompromised artistic expression. Most recently A Blank Project dropped their clothing lines Fall '06 Men's and Women's Collections and they are definitely keeping it classic, wrapping their men's tees with coat of arms and argyle overlays while the women's line is aimed at vintage fun, featuring stenciled animals with clever catch phrases like the hippos and bunny rabbits entitled “Hip Hop” or the praying mantis “Man Eater”. You can also check a selection of fine arts and exhibitions from their artist's portfolios on the site. With recognition for the past and future forward concepts A Blank Project is respectfully filling the empty canvas.
