Satisfy Yourself
This is a very inspirational note recently posted on Public School. There is a project called Letters of Note that features letters that are worth posting for all to see. The only thing that makes me sad about this post is that Keith Haring lived to the age of 31 and did so much more work than I have at my age of 31. It really made me think twice when I saw his age of death, and I just hope that one day I can do amazing work such as he has. Read More
Paper Tattoos
I’ve posted about his work before, but this is completely new. Jacob Dahlstrup Jensen is now tattooing paper. The technique gives the appearance of an embroidered look, don’t you think?

He perpetuates tradition while braking from it. Read More

Phos Pictures
Thanks to a tweet from Chris Cashdollar, I am officially immersed in the film work of Eliot Rausch and Phos Pictures. It began with Last Minutes with Oden, and then Pennies Heart. One by one I came to see how incredible these films are. I can’t even begin to explain how wonderful, so just watch. Read More
