Oded Ezer's creative nod to Milton Glaser

I am in love with this neo-"I { heart } NY" !!



Oded Ezer's homage to Milton Glaser's I ❤ NY logo
"This 70x100 cm poster is a homage to Milton Glaser, whose famous I ❤ NY logo is one of the things that stuck into my mind forever. Glaser's design is simple and direct, and I felt it will be still recognisable even if I will make it more complicated"

All I Need

Need = Want



I want to look at it up close to see all the little illustrated song title details!

*Many thanks for the mention, Jonathan.

Classy Spooky Pottery Barn?

Oddest choice of decor I've ever seen in PB's product line.

I'm a little late in re-posting this, but I figured there's no better time than now since it is the first day of October. Pricey $tuff to get for just a once-a-year event, but if you entertain peeps on an annual basis then I guess it would be a good investment... or if you just like the flava of goth in your very own home. :) I do have to say they are done pretty well—not much of the cheese factor involved.

Hmmm... So, is this what they mean by reinventing your business?



Credit goes to invisiblecreature for blogging items that make me want to re-post their blog entries over + over again. I'm so original! But, wutev. I see it as spreadin' the word.

Even though NYC is awesome, it didn't feel right to have a winter coat featured on the front page in the middle of a balmy summer.

Panforte on sanpellegrino.com

My macro photo titled "mixed" was featured on S. Pellegrino's web site! :)))
It was used for an article titled "Sienese Confections, Medieval Flavour" to help illustrate an Italian cake called Panforte.

Here is a tidbit from the article:
There are several legends: one story of the Panforte relates that it was invented by chance by a young nun who put several ingredients together - dry and candied fruit, spices, honey, a little flour - and made a strong flavoured cake that keeps for a long time, hence the name "forte".

"The official [San Pellegrino] website is dedicated to the S.Pellegrino and and Acqua Panna waters - with its extensive sections spanning all the interesting nuances of Italian culture, from the thousands peculiarities of our food and wine tradition to works of architecture, art and design; from the selected tourist itineraries to the best restaurants, their gourmet cooking and the Italian Lifestyle on the whole."

Many thanks to Michela @ Besanopoli!

fairy tales by Leibovitz

Disney—You either love to hate them -or- hate to love them. I grew up liking Disney movies + their characters + am enamoured by the new ad campaign that is being showcased in parts of the US. Annie Leibovitz created a series of beautiful, dreamlike photo montages transforming Disney's famous 2-D characters into 3-D settings portrayed by celebrities.

I really liked this image in particular:

... from me to you. ^__^

Sometimes I'd like...

...to drop everything just to go back to the reason why I fell in love with art in the first place. Drawing is something I don't do much anymore—except, of course, if you count the funky handwriting I draw on my morning task lists at work.

Again, I am here to shout out loud about the creativity flowing out from others that inspire me. I scrolled through my weekly newsletter from the good folks at Lost At E Minor [Gine should hook herself up with this, too] + the work of an artist by the name of Autumn Whitehurst caught my eye. Now, when you look through her portfolio, what you're seeing is all vector art [for those who aren't aware of the jargon, there are no photos/pixels involved—it's ALL created art + shapes if that makes any sense]. Her detailing is amazing + so lifelike. You should definitely scope her work.

With that said, what are you waiting for? Go! Go! Go!

Tilly + the Wall

Thanks to "junk email" I received from Lost at E Minor the other day, I discovered an interesting new band to listen to.

Three valid points to consider:

• awesome female leads
• No drummer, just a tapdancer?? o_O
• free em-pee-tree!

Me likey, too.


P.S. They are few degrees from Bright Eyes, for those of you who are interested—personally, I don't care much for Conor Oberst's voice.

"When you care enough to hit send"

I really can't take credit* for discovering this gem of a link.

Curious? Send that special someone SomeECard today.


They remind me of those pessimistic inspirational lithos. ;)

neo-Slinky

"Woooow." This is great for my tiny apartment. Don't imagine sitting in it for a long movie, but it seems ideal for those few [haha, more like zero] times when I have more than 3 people at my place. ;) Now, where can I get one of those?
