Inlay

There is art in craft and it is exampled beautifully in Alison Elizabeth Taylor's pieces. She uses wood inlay like a painter uses paint through the craft of marquetry. Her show, Foreclosed, at James Cohan Gallery is not only beautiful aesthetically but conceptually as well. If you're in the New York area, it is not an exhibit to be missed.

Breathtaking

This new installation at Tatton Park Biennial by Kate MccGwire is absolutely breathtaking. Its so ominous yet beautiful. I love installations that changes you, your positioning, and emotion the moment you enter the space.

We they, we they

Wish I could be in SF to see Clare Rojas' We They, We They at Museum of Craft and Folk Art. The wall quilt looks amazing.

Dust to Dust

Monica Canilao's Show is coming up at Cinders Gallery this Friday. I'm excited to see it, she does some amazing installation work. Here are some of her older pieces, you can see a sneak peek at her newer work here. I think it'll be more interesting to see in context of the installation.

Sunny Days

On Saturday, a beautiful Spring day, I decided to ride my bike up to the Central Library in Brooklyn to do some research. I absolutely love that library, not only is it beautiful, but I could sit there all day and look through books. I found several things to inspire me, including a book of Inuit Prints. I wasn't able to take pictures from the book but here are some I found online.

knit me a fire

Really great stop motion and use of knitting for this Belgian Natural Gas Commerical.

McQueen

Alexander McQueen's passing last week was a loss to not only the fashion world, but to the visual world. His designs were amazing, but I loved his presentations of them.

Presentation is everything.

RIP Alexander McQueen.





This one is possibly one of my favorite that I've seen. The Spring 2004 Collection was inspired by Sydney Pollack's They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

Last Minute Wish List

Dear Santa,
If its not too late, would you mind dropping this under my tree?




Camilla Engman's new book with Uppercase looks inspiring and beautiful.

Her blog is full of great photos and a glimpse into her life behind the scenes.

Art+Food=DREAM

these are one of those things where i sit and stare at my computer wondering, "dammit why didn't i think of that first?!" i've been trying to figure out how to marry my love of food and my art together and never had i thought of this...

Will Cotton has set up a temporary bakery at Partners & Spade and yes, that is all edible. Looks pretty delectable to me!

A 1, 2, 3...Sequence!

I was spending the day at my boyfriend's over the weekend (mainly to mooch off of his cable because I have no t.v. DAMN YOU FCC for making us convert!) and flipped to TMC where a movie called "Yours, Mine, and Ours" was starting up. I was immediately drawn in by the title sequence. I'm still not sure who did it, but Joel reminded me of the master title sequencer of all, Saul Bass.

A couple of my favorites. Check out notcoming.com, for an extensive gallery of his work (and a really cool interactive image gallery).

And a little show and tell of his posters.....

I love this poster via insect54's flickr.
(edit: per request of certain people, i've update the link to my boyfriend. who is an amazing designer, bt-DUBS)

Beach Beach Beach BEACH!!!!

I don't think this is the official video to this new Kings of Convenience song, Mrs. Cold. But I plan to be at the beach this weekend, and this is setting me in the mood.

Goosebumps

Maurice Sendak talks about the film and working with Spike Jonze. What I would've given to work on this film or just to be a fly on the wall. It gives me goosebumps of inspiration every time...

Twinkle, twinkle, little bat! How I wonder what you're at.

Back when I was a kid, we recorded the made-for-TV version of Alice in Wonderland (on BETA!!). I used to watch it alllll the time, even though it scared the SHIT out of me. Especially Carol Channing as the White Queen.... yikes!

Now, Tim Burton is coming out with his version of Alice in Wonderland. And Johnny Depp looks just as creepishly scary as Carol Channing did. I imagine this will give children nightmares for days. I can not WAIT!

Mr. Fox, You're Fantastic!

Roald Dahl has been one of my favorite authors, not only as a kid but even as an adult (have you read his adult fiction? "My Uncle Oswald" is highly recommended). Combine the geniusness of both Roald Dahl and Wes Anderson and you've got my brain exploding.

The first 3 screen images of Wes Anderson's stop motion Fantastic Mr. Fox have been posted. The film is due out in November. Mr. Fox (that means you Mr. Wes Anderson), I will wait patiently.


thanks scout!

A pilfering...

I've pilfered my friend, Brigitte Sire's website.




She's an amazing photographer and I love everything that she shoots, but I came across these collages and oh.my.god. I fell in love and like the internet pirate that I am, I stole them. so arrrrrr, shiver me timbers....
