"Sizzlin" art work

"Sizzlin'" comes from the mouth of Josh Cochran, this is how you know he grew up in the OC. (That and a couple of other things about him...) He just did the cover to "Wise Blood: The Criterion Collection" And it looks pretty awesome. I love the way it reminds me of the 60s Penguin Book covers. Good Job Josh!

Snow day, snow day!

Oh the snow, as I was hoping for Spring to make its way in another snow storm blasts its way in... I guess its ok to live in a snowglobe one more day.


On another note, I finally had time to dilly dally around my blogs and came across this beautiful post about Louise Bourgeios and her work with tapestries. I mainly know her spider sculptures which are amazing, but these.... these are so inspiring.

Couple more of work in progress shots.


These pieces were inspired by Beirut's new double EP, March of Zapotec. Holland reminds me of the Electric Parade at Disneyland.


Also, check out La Blogotheque. A site dedicated to music where they do "Take-away" shows directed by Vincent Moon. Here's one of Beirut in Paris.

What would you know about honor?

Have I mentioned how awesome and talented my friends are?! (tee hee)

Bryn Smith is a super talented designer and maker of things. She does amazing letterpress designs (including my business card!) and lately she's been making zines.

Here's a glimpse of her latest one...




Here is my business card that Bryn letterpressed for me.

A warm feeling...

Last Thursday night I was lucky enough to score some free tickets to see M. Ward at the Apollo theatre. I really love M. Ward's music- the lyrics, the sound, the feeling I get from it. Whenever I listen to his music I feel like I'm transported to a porch on a warm, summer night with a breeze lightly touching my face. His music feels like the warmth of whiskey slowly going down my throat.

Sometimes when I read interviews of my favorite artists and musicians, I keep a copy of what they say because it represents so much of what I'd liked to get across. Here's a recent excerpt from a NY Times article about his new record, Hold Time.

"Mr. Ward’s job as he sees it is to capture something: less an emotional state or an overarching theme than an instant. “I wrote this song just to remember the endless endless summer in your laugh,” he sings on “Hold Time,” his album’s moody but sweet title track.

“I can trace all my songs to a specific moment,” he said. “Sometimes it’s as insignificant as a friend of yours saying something, a turn of phrase. Other times it’s like an epiphany moment or just something beautiful that you see. Some people are able to take a picture of that and capture it. I don’t have that skill.” Music is his way of cementing inspiration.

“I love the idea that a record can be a time capsule,” he said."

A girl and her uke!
