Inspired Again.

I found this link on A CUP OF JO. Aren't you inspired? I AM!

I am Inspired.

Philip Govedare has GORGEOUS oil paintings that almost look like watercolors. They have such incredible texture, depth and color to them too. I need to start painting again. I miss fine art.

Made My Day

This commercial was created for a cell phone made from wood and was shot in a forest in Japan where they made a GIANT xylophone from already fallen trees in the forest. The xylophone plays Bach's Cantata 147 . . . what a lovely piece of art. I can hardly handle it.

Home Office DESIRE

Recently, I've been really eager for a home office/design studio. I don't have room in my current apartment but it WILL be a definite in the next place I live. It will be so nice to have a place to hide and organize my bills (and other boring stuff) and decorate with my inspirations, art, textiles, and maybe an Eames desk chair?! yes please.

MISUSE blog

This blog kind of reminds me of the FAIL blog except it captures the genius of creative problem solvers that use various objects for purposes other than its own. Some of them are pretty ridiculous (okay most of them are) but the smart ones remind me of A: My dad. He's always "making things work" with whatever he can find. I'm proud to say I get this trait from him. B: ID school and the crazy things people would drag into the studio. Seriously, this is how we think.

hahaha dad, remember when you told me to do this in bert when i didn't have AC?! so funny.

I've definitely done this before.
