keep warm

a project by action weaver (travis meinolf)

lots of photos on his website of weaving.  i would like to weave a blanket, now!  

some of his outdoor weaving photos remind me of the best art summer day camp teacher i ever had.  he had the best ideas, like making large stained glass butterflies with jewel toned tissue paper sandwiched between cut-out sheets of manila cardstock.  or one of the best days ever in my life when the whole class ran around in the park with balls of yarn, weaving in and out of each other, wrapping around trees like pins in a board, making a colourful web. 

i love

Odessa.

Fuck me.

Here.

tara donovan

came across this artist last night while flipping through the blog of the place i bought my glasses.  (i think i'm regretting going for black, i wish i had the crystal grey ones now instead!  oh well)

i am so inspired by tara donovan's super organic forms made with mostly extremely artificial materials.

drawings of lines

i love/hate it when i find something i love so much that i wish i had come up with it myself. 

by victoria haven

there is a secret little event in the works.  if it realizes itself i will announce it in the new year.   these illustrations poke my favourite brain buttons and tie in perfectly with the three dimensional structures i've been turning around in my head.  i mean, i have to do something with all that yellow tissue paper i have left over from our wedding craft explosion. 

skin

i'm mesmerized by these delicate skin drawings.

Alice

I loved this game.  American McGee's Alice.  This flickr set of concept art from the game kind of makes me want to play it again.

Looks like they're making a sequel!  With giant snails!

love what you do

i could never feel this way about commercial graphic design (i think marcia would agree) but i love this poster anyhow:

via fffound!

monster chair

i'd like to curl up in this chair with a gigantic book. 

looking forward to seeing Where the Wild Things Are this month.
