Good love is on the way

Some good stuff today, the first being...













Hooray! It's the Jeweled Ambrosia giveaway via Simple Blueprint!

Head on over to Simple Blueprint and see how to win a $25 gift certificate to Jeweled Ambrosia's Etsy shop! Oh my, such great jewelry to choose from!

Next is this hella cool Andrew Bird poster I found via grain edit. $20! Love the color scheme, love the illustrative style - it's just awesome. Check out the other posters at that one website, too. I predict an awesome poster roundup one of these days soon, time permitted.

Last, this awesome ... I dunno what to call it, really. You'll have to check it out - I found it fascinating. A website experience titled "Pintando un Cancion" (painting a song).\

Introducing: Art + Sound

So I came up with (what I believe to be) a very original and massively interesting idea today. Why not pair a piece of art with a song/sound? I'm familiar with a wide variety of music and I feel like ya'll are probably just itching to reap the benefits.

I'll [continue to] preface this by saying that the song/sound I choose is just one option, just one opinion of what I think compliments/relates to the art. I am open to suggestions. I'm also trying to set a mood for each piece. Tell me your impression. I may even include multiple options on each piece, for experimentation's sake. This could be a wonderful way to discover new music if people comment!

So here we go, Art + Sound #1

Theory of Levitation (Detail) 2007, Anna Fidler.

Anna is from Traverse City - Michiganders FTW! Click here for the enormous 83"x96" painting. (Sorry about the tiny images... can't find any large, hi-res versions.)

And the song?

Hunting Bears - Radiohead.

Take a few minutes, turn on the youtube video, and gaze at the piece (I intended it to be the detail, not the full piece).

What do you think?
