Mike D the Artist: BROOKLYN TOILE Design

[JoLovesMCA]

Mike Diamond of the Beastie Boys (http://www.beastieboys.com/) decided he wanted a Brooklyn inspired toile wallpaper that would line the walls of his Brooklyn brownstone. The vision was to pay tribute to all things Brooklyn in a way that would appear to be a traditional French Country Toile, but when you step to it the pattern reveals elements and vignettes that make up the truth about Brooklyn. Mike approached Vincent J. Ficarra and Adela Qersaqi of Revolver New York (http://revolvernewyork.com/) to help execute his vision artistically and Flavor Paper to produce the design as wallpaper. Due to the level of detail and shading in Vincent’s design we decided to produce the Brooklyn Toile as a digital print, but stay tuned as it may be revised into a hand screened print soon!

Brooklyn Toile captures many angles of life in the King’s borough from Coney Island to Hasidic Jews to Notorious B.I.G., the design covers many of the aspects of daily life dealing with subways and pigeons in a poetic way. Go on and get some!!!

I WANT THIS!!! I have always been a fan of Toile. My husband not so much because it is mostly depicting farm animals - at least the ones I have shown him. But this, this is great. Thanks Jo :)

I want it too! It looks really good. I'm hoping to by a house here within the next 6 months. It would be great to have that somewhere.
