Sometimes you just need to speak to find the right words.
There’s no implication that those words will come.
But sometimes, in the right moment, they do -
and it’s a beautiful thing.
I think that’s the way with all things.
Unless you put forth how is anything to come about?
Whether it is art, poetry or even love.
Are not all things just looking for a way to exist?
It’s a dreadful thought when it comes down to it.
And yet… the simplicity of it can hold such elegance.
I implore you, be done with it!
Be done with merely existing.
Because really…
aren’t we all young enough?

And they say drunk art is rubbish.
I say it’s thought provoking.
Don’t usually write much – and now I have.

The nous vous collective is certainly a unique collective in it’s own right.
I could use all this fancy colloquy but really,
who wants to hear that?
Color, simplicity, humor = brilliant.
I’ve been an uber fan for a while but wanted to keep them all to myself;
ah but you’lll find out one day won’t you?
I might as well spill the beans…
You can also check out their myspace here.

after the completion of his, glady klein illustrates everything you need to know to finish your graphic novel… and then some. very informative and downright cute.
since i started drinking the intoxicating fruit of the vine i never came accross a glass that was as good as the bottle looked, bar ralph steadman’s; or close to since i mean, it is steadman whom did the art work and that’s kind of hard to beat. c’mon.
now however it seems some aussies decided to step up to the plate and creat a wine that tastes as it looks. damn good.

the wine is called mollydooker and not only did they design enchanting labels for their wines, they also just had 10 of their wines receive 90-99 points from the wine advocate. not too shabby right?

shoes.
what can i say,
i’m a shoe enthusiast.
and if i was a man these would be a needed and wanted shoe:


the latest release of visvim.
of course they’ve only been released in japan but that shouldn’t stop you.
a good shoe is a good shoe.
i mean what’s more fetching than a boy in white trainers?
also, besides vagabond’s amazing collection
they have quite the campaign for their new line.
you can drink it all in and then some here:
i need to think of a creative way to use shoes.
cause hell – i love the damn things.
so the chase in music videos has been done time and time again.
you have the whole good guy bad guy scenario and it usually ends with the suspense of not knowing what becomes of the said man being chased.
i think that this video puts a bit of a different spin on that whole toss:
i quite like it. it has a modern fantasy edge to it that you don’t often see, especially in more recent music videos. the time edited motion stuff is fun but it’s getting old fast.
nice work.
oh and you can go to their page here.
please,
take these scissors.
i am oh so fascinated by the wonderful world of cut outs.
those simple shapes are so alluring!
instead of fitting the shape into the whole,
i’m trying to take them out.
perhaps throw them around.
in an orderly manner of course.
art is fantastically fun.
or are they?
those rust ridden cogs in my brain might be on to something.
or not.
generally it’s the not.
