tune in on tuesdays

Hope your Thanksgiving weekend was fun, filled with lots of yummy food!

You may want to eat something before you watch the music video, but the song is wonderful nonetheless. In fact, if you went out and purchased his newest album, "What Will We Be", I can guarantee you'll love each and every track.

november nonsense

I know a couple people participating in No Shave November, so I thought I'd post this for some great furry facial art ideas. If my facial hair grew in manly fashion, I would go for the 'Mutton Chops' or perhaps the 'Sparrow'.

quite the collection

Denise Reytan is an artist living in Berlin (of course) who makes real cool jewelry and other art pieces, such as her object collection boxes. She seems to have quite the collection of colorful stuff.

a fitting message


I opened up my "Breathe Deep" tea by Yogi and found this lovely message staring back at me. How fitting for the day!

I found this ad in an e-mail, or something, and I couldn't help but share it.

too cool

This really makes me want to pick up my paint brushes, if only I were as skilled as these lovely artists. I thoroughly enjoy how this video was shot and edited, and I hope you do too!

smart art

Sometimes I wish I could just jump into one of Nick Cave's soundsuits and wear it for a day..to class, work, etc.

the fantastic

If you haven't already, you should see "Fantastic Mr. Fox" directed by Wes Anderson. I was blown away by the detail in the characters. The colors in the film were outstanding, and nothing far from what I'm used to seeing in Anderson's films. I think animation is a perfect medium for him!

tune in on tuesdays

An older jam by two of my favorite music artists (Mocky and Jamie Lidell). They are quite the dynamic duo.


And if I haven't inspired you enough to listen to Jamie Lidell, check out this video:



And since today is dia de los muertos (day of the dead), I thought I'd post a fantastic little animation.

a little help, please?

The task of fixing the couch I purchased for cheap is, well, a never ending one. I finally went to the fabric store and picked some samples for re-upholstering the cushions. I don't mind the current color, but they seem to be..um..shedding?

Also, finding a place to re-upholster the cushions is quite similar to finding a needle in a haystack. If only I knew how to sew..



I like the orange one. We'll see if this job ever gets done.
