Inspiration is Where You Find It: Jack McCoy

By Jake Gallagher


I’d like to think that within the hallowed halls of television’s high temple, there’s a special place carved out for Law & Order. At any given time, on any given day, I can guarantee there’s at least one channel chiming in with that unforgettable “Dun Dun” and an hour long glimpse at city crime, peppered with just the right number of witty one liners. For me, what’s always kept me coming back to the show, year after year, are the characters, and no one more so than Jack McCoy. Read More »

Seven Questions: S.E.H Kelly


S.E.H Kelly is not just another capital H Heritage brand, although it’s understandable if you mistake them for one. Between their emphasis on classic design, exclusive use of natural materials and steadfast dedication to keeping their production local, all the requisite H-tage (I just coined that) elements are there.
