Accidental Mysteries

Kindra Murphy is a graphic designer and Associate Professor of Design at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design whose client list includes Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, the Walker Art Center, the New York Times Magazine and various non-profits. As I am prone to do, I discovered her incredible Flickr photostream quite by accident, and glad I did. Her collection of ephemera eye candy culls popular culture with such thoughtfulness it is worth sharing today.

Accidental Mysteries is an online curiosity shop of extraordinary things, mined from the depths of the online world and brought to you each week by John Foster, a writer, designer and longtime collector of self-taught art and vernacular photography. “I enjoy the search for incredible, obscure objects that challenge, delight and amuse my eye. More so, I enjoy sharing these discoveries with the diverse and informed readers of Design Observer.”
