theblackcat: We went to get ice cream, and saw a goat  I actually did a double-take when I spotted it - not because it’s so bizarre, but because where we grew up it wouldn’t really be that odd.  Then I reminded myself that we were in Plymouth & not Howell.  Unfortunately, it’s still not as funny as that time Laura & I saw people walking a baby deer on a leash in Brighton…

 I actually did a double-take when I spotted it - not because it’s so bizarre, but because where we grew up it wouldn’t really be that odd.  Then I reminded myself that we were in Plymouth & not Howell.  Unfortunately, it’s still not as funny as that time Laura & I saw people walking a baby deer on a leash in Brighton…

Gravity and the Rebellious Stone by Patrick Gannon The ancient Chinese art of paper-cut is usually reserved for tired traditional designs of dragons and tigers.  Gannon goes somewhat against the grain and focuses on slightly more modern themes such as the Incredible Hulk and some really bizarre creatures.

untitled photo of Iceland by Ryan Fowler Fowler is a 27 year old photographer with an arguably perfect eye for composition and contrast.  Combined with remote locations such as Iceland and Ghana, the finished product is almost hard to believe.  It really takes a second or third hard look before your brain will accept that these places and people really exist. Dedicated to Bunnynico.

Skew-001 from the Plateau Line by Desu Design Inspired by geological rock formations.  Designed to suggest movement.  Listed under the “outdoor” category, but I would love to see this as a living room coffee table.  Call it blasphemy, but I think I would plant a couple of pillar candles of varying sizes in there and throw the TV out the window. Reminicent of the safe/coffee table from the movie Hard Candy, which was also to die for.

My Secret Self Part 1 of 5 from 20/20 on ABC

Originally aired a year ago, this episode was shown again tonight with a one-year update.  Yes, I watched it both times & yes, I cried both times.  Everyone should be required to watch this special at least once in their lifetime.

The other four videos in the series can be found on YouTube.

Tree Bed II by Shawn Lovell Shawn Lovell of Oakland, CA makes one-of-a-kind custom metalworks (beds, gates, light fixtures) using traditional and modern forging techniques.  I’ve personally always had a fascination with iron - the way it looks & feels, how delicate it can appear in spite of its weight and the brutal force necessary to manipulate it…  The bold, graphic nature of her designs are endlessly breathtaking and timeless.

“ In my work, I examine the America we live in and I’ve always tried to show people that the devil we blame our atrocities on is really just each one of us. So don’t expect the end of the world to come one day out of the blue - it’s been happening every day for a long time. Marilyn Manson (via affremblequotes)

Fallen animated by Wolfram Kampfmeyer

It really never ceases to amaze me how animators can give inanimate objects (in this case, a meteor) such complex human emotions.  This video can either be interpreted as a painfully boring waste of talent or as a perfect depiction of the emotions that people go through when faced with their own mortality.  The little guy in this video, without a single word, exhibits every emotion you would associate with the journey of life from fear to exhiliration and the acceptance that in spite of his certain fate he still had a lot of living left to do.

Between work & my migraines being out of control, I will be lucky if I don’t spontaneously combust or become completely unhinged and forget my name and address, leaving me no choice but to become a transient.  In the event that neither of those things happen, I will return to regular blogging after this event. Meanwhile, why don’t you all show up and buy some art?  Click the robot for details.

Goodnight Bush

Remember reading Goodnight Moon as a child?  Well forget about the moon for a minute - it’s time to put an even more useless lump to rest.

Goodnight Bush is exactly what it sounds like and you can even read the first “verse” if you click the “take a look inside” tab.
