Glaser's now ubiquitous "I Heart New York" slogan.
Glaser designed this poster as an introduction to Alan Heller's line of plastic, pasta-shaped pillows. The only clue that we are not talking about edible pasta is the measurement indicating that it is 60cm wide—mouthful even for ravioli lovers.
When viewed up close.
Made entirely of yarn, Vincent's Locker Room is a life-size recreation of the high school gym experience.
And even details such as the drain are captured in the artist's work.
Difference in knit style help to show a difference in material in the finished piece, like here where porcelain is knitted differently than metal.
The artist sitting in his Locker Room.
Rows of lockers show details like combination locks, here seen in a myriad of colors and styles.
As does the the urinal, a design and shape one would never expect to see made from yarn.
Vincent's attention to details is even present in the stitched wood grain of his locker room benches.
Even a drainage cap does not get forgotten in Vincent's world.
The communal shower also gets the knit treatment.
Shower heads and shower handles seem all too real.
The urinals are life-size.
More vibrant colors adorning the simple lines of the city's center.
This giant Styrofoam sculpture lives in Mundi along with the ready-to-wear fashions.
Babies sleep in carriages outside in the cold while mothers drink tea in the warmth. This shocked me almost as much of the rainbows of color all over Reykjavik!

While driving through a field of moss-covered volcanic rock, I spotted a group of cave explorers in orange, reminding me of a team of astronauts walking on another planet.
The Hallgrímskirkja is visible from all over. Views from the top reveal a rainbow of rooftops.
In many an alley I found walls and walls of graffiti.
My favorite shop discovered was Icelandic designer Mundi's boutique, which featured graphic t-shirts.
Icelandic horses are richly colored, like this guy who braved a hail storm long enough for me to snap his picture.
A pink and yellow doorway made a rather boring building remarkable.
There were also examples of knit graffiti in Reykjavik, like this tree, not painted, but covered in a colorful sheath.
While eating in a local cafe, I was pleasantly surprised by the color coded books at the barista stand.
Reykjavik, like many cities, is covered in pockets of graffiti. But here the graffiti seemed even more colorful. Gone was a the grime in cities like New York.
Secondhand stores were filled with Danish furniture. If only I knew a way to get these items back to New York cheaply!
Even in nature the colors are vibrant and intense in Iceland, like this rust-red hillside.
Little plastic dolls in this storefront perfectly illustrate Reykjavik's palette of bright hues.
