Give & Get with Tuesday Bassen




I met Tuesday Bassen at the launch of Buy Some Damn Art. It was a fantastic merging of worlds and she was as artsy and friendly and stylish as ever. After getting home and researching her work, I was blown away by her illustrations. Bassen co-runs Studio Sweet Studio with Meg Lewis and has her hands on multiple creative projects around town. Her drawings have appeared in the New York Times and Creative Quarterly among others. She what’s on her mind this Valentines holiday…

What Bassen Would Love to Give: My Partner, Pete Gamlen, would love this fraternal log pin; it’s mystical and mysterious, seems dangerous, and is designed well. It seems like something out of his illustrations!

What BassenWould Love to Get: I love shoes that make an easy transition between casual and professional. I try to make all of my outfits bridge that gap so that I’m prepared for anything in my home: NYC.
