Why is there something so appealing about meticulous arrangements of objects? I really like this portfolio (which I found via here).
As a related aside, I recently found this flickr set, entirely devoted to photos of peoples collections. Collections bordering on obsessive-compulsive.
I love this beautiful Vollen Bench in walnut by Chadhaus, featured in the Piano Nobile Etsy shop. It’s handmade in Seattle from Oregon Walnut (or Eastern Maple). Too bad I have neither the money nor the room for it!
Today is the day of photography! I found Violet Julia’s Etsy shop first, which led me to her Flickr portfolio. Some lovely photos, many of which are polaroids or Holga photos. Very serene nature photography. Some prints available in her Etsy shop.
Zoe Strauss- you must look at her portfolio. Very simple photos that capture a sort of “American essence” (and not necessarily the pretty side).
I really like the collection of drawings by Carrie Marill called “String Theory”. Here are 2 of my favourites…

My friend Holly past along this great little animation by Johnny Kelly about Procrastination. You must watch it. Thanks Holly!
Yesterday afternoon, the hubby and I went over to LACMA to see the Phantom Sightings show. It is a group show about art after the Chicano Movement, and it contains our friend Gary Garay’s work, so of course we had to go! Anyway, if you are in the LA area you should definitely go see the show before Sept. 1 – you have quite a bit of time to make it.
I adore Face Hunter, and the Sartorialist, and many street-style blogs. This photo was posted on Face Hunter today and just made me smile. I love this guy. Have a nice Saturday everyone!
I love Tauba Auerbach’s work. Just came across the semaphore alphabet that she illustrated, and I love it! See below in two parts. It also reminded me of this Monty Python sketch which I love… 🙂
