If you haven't yet heard about Sundance's new show "Man Shops Globe", add it to your DVR list immediately. The new show (which premiered last week) follows Keith Johnson, found goods buyer-at-large for Anthropologie, while he shops flea markets and shops around the world for merchandise and fixtures for the stores. It's amazing and gives an amazing perspective behind-the-scenes of the creative direction for the Anthropologie brand.
I saw a commercial for this last week! Unfortunately I don’t have the Sundance channel. It sounds like a dream job, though!!
I watched this the other night with my hubs and loved it! Tivo’ed the entire season! My friend, a store merchandiser for Anthro in San Jose, CA, went to the corporate premiere in San Francisco. Lucky lady!
Long-time reader, first time commenter (I think)…we’re connected through design*sponge, though! Love your work!
I watched the first episode last week and fell asleep dreaming of French flea markets… he has the best job ever!
AND he’s been dating the CEO Of Urban Outfitters Inc. since they were teenagers. So great. I wrote about if over on my blog

This is one of my new favorite shows!
I am offically hooked too! It’s super interesting how his eye for antiques and trends works.
Thankfully the website you posted the link to is chock-full of video clips, so those of us without Sundance channel can get a fix online.
I remember talking to a fellow illustrator/product designer who worked on a product with Keith Johnson years ago – and I was in awe. It sounded like incredible fun. Now we can all get a peek. Thanks!
I will have to record this soon! That sounds really cool!! Thanks for the tip-off.
Keith is a good friend of my mother’s. (although unfortunately I have not met him myself!) I missed the premiere… but I bet it was glorious. I will watch it ASAP!
I attended the screening event here in Seattle and really enjoyed watching him shop the Paris flea markets. Dream job!
I love that show! 🙂
does anyone know who did these illustrations?
I can’t find who is the illustrator as well. 🙁 Does anyone know?
