Wool 100%

Released in 2006

Such a strange and wonderful Japanese film. Unfortunately the trailer does not really do the film justice. However, if you can find or purchase a copy it is definitely worth the experience.

Does the Eye of the Artist Ever Wink?

I came across this article when I was packing my room the other day. It features the beloved Michel Gondry talking about his visual perception:

Lauren Hill Does Not Hate White People

She just loves Martha Stewart (Can't you tell?).

I don't why this came up in conversation the other day, but I decided to look up the rumor about Lauren Hill not wanting white people to purchase her albums. Which produced this website:

So put the rumors to rest, pop on your Miseducation album and rock out like you still believe in the 90's.

Prehistoric Skeletons Found Embracing

"Two skeletons about 5000-6000 years old have been found in Italy. They’re unquestionably hugging, making this the first of its kind. Pretty special.

“It’s an extraordinary case,” said Ms Menotti. “There has not been a double burial found in the Neolithic period, much less two people hugging - and they really are hugging,” she told Reuters news agency.

Flint tools, including arrowheads and a knife, were also found alongside the couple."

Excitement!

Well I've been working a lot lately, but mostly on gifts for other people (surprises for loved ones/a week full of Birthdays). Unfortunately this means I haven't had time to make more public works (yet). Still I wanted to leave behind a bit of something on here. So I'm leaving the following pics to hopefully inspire, make you laugh or get you excited enough to go out and generate your own bits of creation and inspiration.



Thanks for stopping by!
