Mesmerizing and Beautiful

Post 1

I love love LOVE this Letter Flow animation. Do you know what else are beautiful? Handmade bleach-stenciled The Hedge hoodies. Dave Zucker and I have had our eye on this project for nearly half a year but never found the time or inspiration to complete it. Around two weeks ago, we realized that our dearest [...]


Perusing Stolen Goods

Post 2

Laura commented on my previous post, noting her appreciation for the photograph above and, lo, I was motivated to write again of Europe. She mentioned the toothless nature of the sculpture, while I found its lack of eyes even more stirring (and appropriate to my recent discussion of Blindness). The British museum website has a [...]

I also enjoy his use of muted colors. I cannot support, however, buying posters for concerts which I did not attend but there are a [...]


Toast Loves Graffiti in Seattle

Post 7

I was walking down 4th Ave with Dana and Dave, across the street from City Hall and returning from lunch at the Columbia Tower food court, when I was jolted to a stop by a familiar image: I had seen that adorable little bunny robot toaster before, marked onto the back of a bus seat [...]
