Man Day
On 8/8/09, Atlanta’s Ink & Dagger Tattoo hosted a celebration like no other. This video will give you a taste of the madness that transpired… Ink & Dagger Tattoo Parlour in Atlanta holds Man Day, (yes, it has it’s own website) an event filled with events and manly fare. Events include Bobbing for Lobsters, a Wing Eating Contest, Sideshow Acts, Custom Car Show, and lots more. I wanna go!!! 0
Peacock
A really fun story-like animation featuring the NBC Peacock logo. Isn’t he cute?! 0
Birdie Busch
[Audio clip: view full post to listen] I love the sarcastic tone of Philebrity, a news-based site focusing on the City of Brothery Love, Philadelphia. So I give you “City of Brotherly Love” by Birdie Busch which I found on their site. Lovely song. 0
S.A.S.E. Club
This little illustration is too cute, but what really struck me was that Invisible Creature is having fun with some old fashioned participation using snail mail. Why? Because we all like to receive good ol’ mail. So all you have to do is send them a self-addressed stamped envelope (decorated in some way) and they’ll fill it with goodies. I’m already planning mine out, oh, and you only have until September 1 and you have to get creative with your envelope! Read the details. “Regardless of your artistic ability, we ask that your envelope addressed to us be creatively designed or illustrated. No rules, anything goes – and we’ll post the coolest ones on Twitter.”…
Florence + The Machine
While I hate people who post videos all of the time, and this is the second one for today – I just can’t help myself. Florence + The Machine has been my favorite artist to listen to (since discovering her on the Eclipse soundtrack for Twilight) and I’m officially won over by her voice and lyrics. “I want my music to sound like throwing yourself out of a tree, or off a tall building, or as if you’re being sucked down into the ocean and you can’t breathe,” says Florence Welch. “It’s something overwhelming and all-encompassing that fills you up, and you’re either going to explode with it, or you’re just going to disappear.” 1
Miss Firecracker
For the fourth of July we should all watch Holly Hunter as Miss Firecracker. I don’t remember when I first saw this movie, but I remember that I loved it. Happy Fourth everyone! p.s. If you’ve never seen this movie, check out the trailer! 0
Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry
Hori Smoku is a documentary featuring the life and work of Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins. Obsessed with is works, yet I don’t have any of his style tattoos. I think it’s soon time to remedy that. 0
Piano
Confession: I wish I could play piano and I love music that is all or contains piano. It makes my heart flutter! I tried to teach myself how to play when I was around 10 or 11, but I only played by ear…no sheet music. I don’t understand a single thing on sheet music. But I loved playing and still love listening. Here are a few favorites of mine for you to listen: Fiona Apple, Sullen Girl [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Nico Muhly, Quiet Music [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Bella’s Lullaby from the Twilight Soundtrack [Audio clip: view full post to listen] 0
Saw Chip Kidd and all I got was…
I went to see Chip Kidd speak last night and all I got was… an entertaining experience! His presentation was funny, amusing, and inspirational. He didn’t boast about just how impressive his work is (and it is impressive), but he showed the work that was rejected and told the stories that went along with each project. It’s great that he can recall each of those moments and bring them together into a simple and effective presentation. And after the talk there was a long line of admirers who were feverish to meet him and to get his autograph. I had a book and a poster signed for my personal collection, and I grabbed some extra…
