Art + Sound (and more!)

Howdy!

I had a GREAT Friday and a decent rest-of-the-weekend. How about you? I hope you had a good Easter. Instead of celebrating with family or friends, I saw alone in my apartment and let this eat my soul.

But something interesting is going down on the blog today. In my first entry ever, I mentioned something called "Art + Sound," where I choose something artsy and then find an accompanying song. That was supposed to be a regular thing, but guess what? It happened once. Well, it's about to happen again!

I couldn't decide on just one photo/piece, so I'm making a triptych for you that captures the song (in my mind). Isn't that dandy?

So here's what you do. Fire up this video, but don't pay attention to it. Click the image below and really consider it. Are you seeing what I saw?













I get it. *shrug*

Next up, I really want a copy of this poster:



















I think that would make for an interesting tattoo, personally.

Go on over to Brainstorm and check out their stuff. There is some AWESOME work.

via design is mine.


Next, I REALLY like the work of David "Netherland" van Alphen.































































Go see the rest! via share some candy.

That's all for today, kids. Have a good Monday!

We need body rockin' not perfection

Another beautiful day here in EL!

I think this is just too hilarious/cute:































"I cannot love." "Really? Because your mustache says different." MUSTACHES CANNOT TELL A LIE!

I also really dig this:























via my love for you is a stampede of horses.

Via The Selby, because it's just soooo awesome,

If there were a type of eye candy made especially for me, that would be it.


Next up, I am loving some furniture / design I saw over on sfgirlbybay.

Like this chair:

While I'm at it, this room is blowing my mind:

(from vintage-green)

Then there's this 3D wallpaper business. Freak out!





































Check out Hanna Nyman. Very pretty stuff. via sfgirlbybay.


That's all for today! Have a good weekend!

I wanna publish 'zines, and rage against machines

Lot's of cool stuff today, y'all. And I am not shitting you, it is SIXTY-SEVEN SIXTY-NINE (CAN I GET 70?!!) DEGREES OUT here in East Lansing. YUSSSSS!!!

But I'd like to take care of a little business first.

It's the Modish Scarfu Giveaway!!!



















Head on over and leave a comment for a chance to win. You can also blog/tweet about it for an additional entry!

Now that that's taken care of. This had me L'ingOL pretty good:





















You hear that, hipsters? Go take a shower!!!

via The Debonaire.


Next up, is this really wallpaper?























If so, WHERE CAN I GET SOME?! via whorange.


I usually dig the images and stuff posted over on Oh Joy! Today's post really caught my eye. I love color, especially in unexpected, trivial-seeming places.























This is reminding me of how excited I was to be in Crate & Barrel when I visited NYC...

















I have a "thing" for bowls. Especially square-ish ones. And ones with pretty patterns!

Anyway, the shop those cute spoons 'n' spatulas were from, Huset, has a TON of other great stuff, too:

Check out this herb stand...



















and this storage jar...
























and these lidded cups and serving tray...
























I also LOVE these coasters...


















It's all pretty reasonably priced, too. Go check out the Huset store!


Ok, this might be one of the coolest ideas for a website/set of photographs I've seen in a while.

Vans and the Places Where They Were






































What's up, Santa?



















Go check out the rest! via Ok Great.


Well, that's all for today, guys. Enjoy the weather, wherever you are!!!

Some boys romance, some boys slow dance

Hi all!

I've got a few cool things to show y'all today.

Isn't this just a smart room? Look at that. Mmmhmm!





























via decor 8.

...HOLY CRAP LOOK AT THIS THING. A thing of beauty...































One day, when I have my own place, I will own something similar to this. I swear to it. via apartment therapy.

I bet I could throw a KILLER party at this place...
















Is that not a perfect party-deck? also via apartment therapy.


Next up, check out these crazy ribbon stairs. Terrifying, no?




























I'd be trippin' all over the place. via here.


Next up, this video kind of blew my mind. It just keeps getting cooler.

Sonar from Renaud Hallée on Vimeo.

That's all for today, folks! Have a good one!

Your beauty should stop traffic

Hello all!

I am exhausted and this sinus infection that won't die might be rearing its head again. *sigh*

Ok, so here's some stuff from The Selby, because it just never gets old and there's so much goodness I don't know what to do with myself.

Don't you just want to know this lady? She looks so ... brave?

Beautiful.



Mmk. Next up:

This bird video via all the mountains is just too cool.



















Then, speaking of birds, check out these AWESOME bird houses from neat nests.

























































Finally, I WANT.

Brenda Houston makes some sweet lamps. I want a blue one. via design for mankind.


















That's all for day! Hope your Monday goes well...

MHM AND HUH ARE THE NEW OHH AND YEAH.

If you haven't been over to Got Wisdom, you should check it out RIGHT NOW.

First up, check out Pavlov Visuals and their SICK collection of t-shirt designs. Here are some of my faves:



































I have no idea who Meg & Dia are, but I like this shirt!





































Dude, seriously, get on over to their website and check out the designs. There are too many awesome ones to count!

I also find it hilarious that their tagline is "design it real good." Now that's what I'm talkin' about. via design work life.


Next, check it out y'all! It's the PASTA FORK! Say whaaaaat?







It looks very terrifying, yet effective, no?













via design for mankind.


Also, you should check out this awesome post on some fabulously decorated off-beat houses over on Design Crisis. I am wild 'n' crazy over this room in particular:





























WHaaaAAtt? I think that room is the equivalent to how I feel when I listen to or look at John Mayer. A little too happy, if you catch my drift.


Next up, I stumbled upon this collection of celebrity photography from Art Streiber, an LA-based freelance entertainment photographer. Some of these portraits are siiicck!


















mmmm... yes, Ryan Reynolds.


















Jason Statham.


















Jodie Foster


There's so much more! Go look!!!


I'd better get going. Have a good one!

<3

Don't give me none of that

Would you eat this?


















I don't think I would.
















It's still pretty cool, though! Via design verb.

It's possible I've posted this video here before, but I came across it again and it's pretty freakin' sweet.

MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.

Imagine how much time that took. Whaaaaat?


Ok, I think this is a job well done. Very clever, and actually feasible. A masters student rebranded Playboy for an assignment. Check it out:









































































I think that could totally work, don't you? Then we could call Playboy "Bunnies" Playboy "Foxes" and it would make sense and everything! Personally, I think "The Girls Next Door" hasn't done much to help the brand, and it's definitely not seen as the "classy" alternative in the porno realm anymore. Maybe Hef should hire this guy and revamp the brand, eh?

That's all for today! <3
