Gallery Crawling

I actually couldn't wait to read the phrases on each and every one of Jim Houser's paintings, the words were simple yet pungent. So much attention paid to injury and the human condition. Lovely line work, he has such a fine eye for variety and composition. I was thoroughly impressed.
Went out with the skate rats aka Josh and Viviene, the adorable Stella and my go to guy Mike. Puddles, friends and art, it was a lovely evening indeed. Picture taken from my blackberry because I'm a loser who never carries her camera at the right time, sorry about the image quality.

Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows

Just a typical day in my life...

THANK YOU.

If I could turn back time....

I'd be studying at Black Mountain College...

"I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt." -Celine Before Sunrise 1995

Pretty Boy... grrr

DAMN. I know he's young and it makes me feel a little dirty but I think Ash Stymest is absolutely beautiful. You also have to see the photo shoot for Dazed and Confused Magazine that featured Ash and his model girlfriend Eliza, it's truly unbridaled young love... see it here.

Bangin'

La Roux "Bulletproof" and "Quicksand" niccccceeeee.

Film Imitating Art: The Dreamers

Eva Green in a scene from The Dreamers (2003), wearing long black gloves, standing in a dark doorway frame imitating Venus De Milo aka Aphrodite of Milos (estimated 100 BCE). The director Bernado Bertolucci made subtle knods to many other French treasures. Scenes shot in the Lourve, Eugène Delacroix's 'Liberty Leading the People' is hung in the guest room, and of course since the film is based around three young film buffs lots of wonderful Godard moments appear as well. I was semi-obsessed with this film when I first saw it a few years ago, definitely worth a viewing.

Morbid Loveliness

I've been fascinated by Izima Karou's photographs for some time now. Although they are eerie and dark, they also have a calm, elegant presence. He shoots woman wearing designer clothing (YSL, Jil Sander, Vivienne Westwood, Christian Dior, Alexander McQueen) who appear dead, an interesting take on fashion photography to say the least. I suppose if you are going to die a violent death, you might as well go out wearing Comme des Garcons! Here's hoping the mortician is fashion savvy and appreciates it.

Feeling Down? Not anymore!

This makes me happy no matter what...

Ladies and gentlemen the awe inspiring paintings of Tony Curanaj aka SUB. With so much bad art out there, this sort of technical skill reminds you of what artists are really capable of. Insanely beautiful and technically advanced skills.

MUSE: Flame Haired/Auburn

Hanna's right, I think I'll take my red hair one step further and cop Taylor Tomasi's shade. She's such a stylish lady, she looks flawless and lan-phearce in every photo.
