True Stories 1986

I am embarrassed to say that I just watched True Stories for the first time last night, after years of meaning to watch it. I LOVED IT. I immediately wanted to re-watch it. It’s on demand on Netflix, so seriously, watch it. Or give it a re-watch if you’ve already seen it.

Eric Shaw

Found Eric’s work here, and spent quite a while perusing his awesome Flickr set. Check it out.
By the way, according to this photo he will draw you your own tee shirt for $75 which is expensive for a tee, but inexpensive for original artwork.

Matt Bernson Quilted Loafers

I saw these loafers at a wholesale market a few months back and drooled over them. I love them. They’re now available here.  Wishing I could spare $168 for shoes right now!

Foliage House Plants 1972: Mrs. Ubogy’s Terrarium

I scanned this from a Time Life book simply called Foliage House Plants.  Confession: I kinda bought this book just so I could scan Mrs. Ubogy and her terrarium, which she clearly loves and dotes on. There’s a tutorial on how to make the terrarium in the photo, but good luck finding a bottle this huge and awesome. Oh also, you will never keep it looking so pristine. Mrs. Ubogy has you beat.

I also just wanted to point out that your mom was making terrariums before you were.  But mainly, I love this photo.

The book is actually pretty good too, by the way.

Kate Shaw: Irrational Geographic

I’m loving this series of paintings by Kate Shaw.  Psychedelic, but delicate.

Maurizio Zucchi: living among the cacti

Another space to dream about. More images at iiiinspired.  All of my dream spaces (for example) are primarily filled with plants and light.

The Museum Scene

So I just watched Ferris Bueller’s Day Off for the first time with a friend. I know I’m twentysomething years late on this one. This scene is so good… but you already know that. Of course I also love this rad instrumental version of The Smith’s Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want.

*Can anyone out there help me to remember the artist who did a sort of fan-art piece based on this scene? I’ve been scouring the internet for it but can’t find it. It was maybe a year or so ago that I saw it.*

Nothing is New Workshop

So many cool things in the Nothing is New Workshop!  Love this woven piece by Alex Segreti (Weird Friends) and Kelly Rakowski (Nothing is New).  I also really love this idea for a way to cover up a flowerpot that may be less than pretty…
