Image Inspiration -- ART & FUN

Another blazing success at Brooklyn's FEAST last night -- and three cheers to the decoration committee for these outstanding displays of celebration. And what better things to celebrate?!

Maya Lin -- AOD

"Wake Field Series," 1995, University of Michigan

Art21 asserts that the artist/architect's new work "continues [Lin’s] interest in fusing potent social messages with a reconsideration of the natural world through minimalist design."

I want to sit in the grassy waves...

Image Inspiration -- Update!

Thanks to my brother, things are looking up!

Image Inspiration

Pretty much sums up today at the desk here. If you have any more uplifting images, please do send them my way... xo

Antony Micallef -- AOD

"Suck Love," 2002

"Tokyo Angel"

I was feeling romantic and messy -- this artist hit the mood perfectly. More here

Shock and Awe

This ruined my morning:

Ron Artest is famous for being the worst/scariest person alive.

But then this made everything better:

Peter's cat is famous for being adorable and strong! Go ahead!

Hannah Whitaker -- AOD

These pictures make me at ease. I appreciate that. More here

Pet Post -- Harley in the Sun

Life is pretty sweet, I gotta say. Take it from this guy.

Armando Romero -- AOD

"The Circus," 2007, Marble

"Magician," 2008, Oil on canvas

I became obsessed with Mexico City's treasured multi-media artist Armando Romero today. It's not often I look at art, simultaneously thinking, "ancient" and, "childhood." AND he has shows in New York, Dallas and Los Angeles coming up! Check out more of his work at Tasende Gallery here

Image Inspiration -- The Ouija Experience

This image both horrifies and excites me. Typically I play in bars or on empty floors and am wondering now if setting up a spread such as this would invite new characters into the experience...
