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!

What's taking you so long?

Quick post today, ya'll - I've got some real important stuff to do [homework].

Awesome news - I just might be visiting NYC over Spring Break! I know I have very few avid readers, but if ANYONE has a recommendation as to where I should visit / eat at / see / pay loads of money to gain access to, please leave a comment!

I do know that I am DEFINITELY going to try to check this place out:

















K! Pizzacone in Midtown! I cannot resist the novelty!!! Their website is awful/not functional ... I'm judging them already. via a cup of jo.


Next is this bizarre Lego table from abgc Architecture and Design. Click the link and read their purpose/rationale - interesting, though I don't quite get it.

Next, check out some wildly brilliant web design out of happy cog studios. I haven't made many posts including web design, but web designer depot released a very comprehensive review of the re-design for the Philadelphia tourism website, http://www.visitphilly.com, and it truly is amazing. Props, Happy Cog!
















And I will leave you with this gorgeous photo of James Franco, because it's been a while since I posted any eye candy.

Puttin' bodies in motion cuz I got the notion

Hi everybody!

How was your weekend? No complaints here, other than the snow-dump we received overnight. I know, I know, "quit complaining about the weather - you live in Michigan!" Well I think as a Michigander it's my natural-born right to complain as much as I want. I'm kind of stuck here.

First up is some art by Ryan Begglen. I came across this thanks to a friend. Some of these had me cracking up.

Those are the three funniest, IMO. Be sure to check out the rest of his portfolio!

Next up, I am really digging this chick Heather Patterson, who I spotted over on design for mankind. It's got wonky watercolors, geometry, sketchy drawing, triangles - everything I like! How about that?

Too cool, right? I liiiiike.

Ok, so this chair is hawt. Maybe the sexiest chair ever (in an obvious way...)

Lastly, this video is pretty cool, particularly the music. via share some candy.

That's it for today. Have a fun-filled evening!

Also, remind me not to ever try to update this using Chrome. It's super buggy.

We'll all float on, ok?

We'll all float on, anyway.

First up, a GIVEAWAY via love obsess inspire.


































It's a gorgeous necklace from White Owl. I find this peacock necklace to be quite fetch. [Gretchen, stop trying to make "fetch" happen. It's not gonna happen!"] Hop on other to see how to enter and win!

I really like this illustration by Michael Hsiung via share some candy. I want a beard like that.





























This about sums up my life:

On a different note - this doesn't really involve design or anything - but you should check out this awesome video on how viruses infiltrate our bodies from NPR. Love the narration and the animation is pretty fascinating.

Later!

Somebody said something that one time...

An odd smattering today, folks. Some this-and-that.


























(for the future dentist. that photo is both disturbing and lovely)





















What our hearts are made of: a series of tubes - like the internet!

Next is this space I think is brilliant. Love the furniture, love what that plant is doing for the space, love the dog. (via automatism)























Also, love this from Apartment Therapy DC:





















Next, from Apartment Therapy: Unplgged, Facebook's new digs! Clicky goodness behind the link!














Looks like the new money they've been accruing is somewhat well-spent. But still, outrageous!

That's it for today!
