literacy

I need to read more. Give me more books. Actually, Give me more time.

Alexander Girard

I was browsing the House Ind. site today and found these awesome wooden blocks.
They got me interested, and I have thus fallen inlove with the work of Alexander Girard.
The colors are perfect, the integrity of the design is wonderful.
I absolutely love everything about his work.
Repetition of pattern and color, the shapes, disposition of things.
Ah! It's wonderful.

Why didn't I know about this before!?!
Apparently they had a big exhibition at the San Francisco MoMA last year. [I need to go to the West Coast].

But anyway, I just want to learn more! To Google we go.

no regrets?

I found this yesterday. The 90s. Wow.

But anyway, it's really cold here in Baltimore, I left all my sweaters in New Jersey. My house doesn't believe in regulating temperature so it's freeeezing. I'll be posting some design work soon, the crit is tomorrow.

I finally got to paint again over the weekend and do some sketch book work. Also bond with 13 of my closest friends.

It feels good.

joe strummer in the summer

Found this on the inner-net today. It's been a lazy sunday.

on the radar : DEAR & YONDER

If I was in California, I'd try to get to this



It's a fundraiser for a very cool ladies surf movie scheduled to come out next summer. Loads of rad artists in the show, you should go if you can!

New Image Art seems pretty dope, I explored the site a little, definitely worth your while.

The flier for the show is pretty beautiful, I love how it corresponds to what's up for the film.

Wave of Sound

My iTunes got wiped over the summer due to a super lame laptop malfunction. I've been restoring my library since mid-July and have just recently acquired some old favorites.

Something I'm really excited about, Beach Boys: Endless Summer.


I've got it on vinyl but having it on the iPod rules.
It's just one of those albums you know is excellent, so you're not always compelled to listen, especially when you've grown up listening to it and you know it's good. Listening to this is like getting an unexpected visit from a friend, who has brought you a box of salt water taffy that you proceed to eat for hours while sitting around just talking and laughing about everything.
Na'mean?!

Last year I was obsessed with Pet Sounds and all things Brian Wilson. Particularly The Wave of Sound . Phil Spector's influence on Brian Wilson is so evident on both albums. I vaguely remember reading an interview where Wilson proclaims "Be My Baby" to be his favorite song, of all time. Endless Summer's "Don't Worry Baby" --> DIRECT CONNECT!
So good.

Wilson's Wave of Sound, Spector's Wall of Sound. I'm perpetually fascinated with both of these ideas.

always and lately

I'll have something more eloquent to say later.
