Ann Woo

















I really love this work by the photographer Ann Woo.

I think there also might be a few different photos here on her tinyvices page...

:) :9 :( :D

Showpaper Submissions



(..click on images to see full size...)

I submitted these posters for an open call to artists that Showpaper was having back in October - but I guess it is safe to say after all this time that I didn't make the cut! Oh well.

I really kind of like these as a triptych. The first one is a design I originally created as an illustration
for an article on Sonia Delaunay for the Worn Journal - I was always looking for a good opportunity to be able to use it again because it got kind of hidden by the text in the article and I think it is super.

The last one was cobbled together with little icons and images I either found or created this summer and was using as little visual totems at the time.

Here are a few other Showpapers that I collected and photographed awhile ago.

Anyway - maybe I will just make posters out of these myself if I ever get a little extra money. We shall see.

Linkz?

(...image of the oh-so-Fabulous Anjelica Huston from over here...)

I am now kind of hoarding these types of things over on delicious for the most part - but I thought I would share some here too because that is always nice and it feels like I am giving you an internet present.

So here you go:

...Words Without Pictures - downloadable texts on photography - I still need to check it out but it looks worth it - via Happy Accident...
...Folkstreams - a national preserve of hard-to-find documentary films about American folk or roots cultures - streamed full-length! Via the super blog an ambitious project collapsing...
...on a personal note - I found my Soul Animal at last - I was really wondering all this time what it could be - glad to have found it...
...a Sioux girl's two-hide dress in 360 and the rest of the exhibition Identity by Design via WORN...
...two new discoveries - great blogs on books - Used Books and A Journey Round My Skull - whatever they said about the internets affecting people's love for the written word (plus its glorious illustration) was obviously a lie...
...I love this opening page on Andrew Laumann's website - so beautiful...
...I keep meaning to read this but haven't done it yet - a short interview with William Eggleston - plus did you know that his whole film Stranded in Canton is online?...
...downloadable essays and such from the ever-lovable and inspirational smartpants Dexter Sinister/Dot Dot Dot crew...


Hope you like those. And hey! I finished my first truly successful knitting project - just in time for the Spring weather we have been getting. Over here for a looksee...

Bye!

Stuff Made











I made these weird kind of sculptures over the weekend. I really like them but of course I could not get a good photo. So I inverted them in photoshop and I think I like that better anyway.

I seem to keep making "unmonumental" assemblages. I am not sure how to avoid this since the only things I have to make stuff out of is dollarstore flotsam and shiny things I collect. Oh well. Maybe I will work through this and find myself somewhere else. Must keep moving onward I suppose...

Obviously Haven't Worked Through the Neil Young Thing Yet






















(...images linked their source over here...)

Sheesh. Sorry. Sometimes this happens to me. I know it is kind of boring after not posting anything for 5 days. I promise something novel and entertaining next time! For now you are stuck with my latest crush.

I think my favorite album might be On the Beach - here is an audio clip of a 1974 live recording of the title track to this album...
