I can’t believe I just recently came across Gemma Correll. I’m enamored by her amazingly cute and adorable work. The fact that she appears to love cats makes it even better! Check out some of her amazing work here and some selected works below. (Oh, also, no relation to equally awesome Damien Correll.)
apologies for my absence from the blogosphere. i’ve been catching up on “life” making some real grown-up life-changing decisions, going on a yoga retreat and sunny turkey for the first time (thus pushing back the beginning of another cold, grim berlin winter), consciously abstaining from too much internet-wizardry, amongst many other things…
and while i am still busy catching up, here is one adorable movie i am still trying to catch in the theatre from even more adorable (girl crush!) miranda july. i am glad to know that july wasn’t her name by birth (it is actually grossinger), because ‘miranda july’ just sounds so epically amazing… yet another reminder that my parents – quite obviously – screwed up massively. i wish i had a fame name. though i guess it’s never too late to do the deed yourself.
anyways. a movie narrated by a cat named paw-paw with a broken paw by miranda july?! i am stunned. here is a really good nyt article about july to check out if you’re curious (as a cat).
Read MoreI just came across Francisco Miranda’s amazing illustrations via his behance portfolio. I really like his style, it reminds me a bit of argentinian mastermind Christian Montenegro. Besides his digital illustration work, Miranda also has a variety of other “analog” and exhibition work on his portfolio site.
I keep on being enamored with Alexander McQueen’s fabulous and breathtaking “Savage Beauty” exhibit at the MET. Even though the exhibition is no more and I’ve already posted about this, you can view the work here. Thanks to Eight Hour Day, here are a few selected stunning images to see to help memorize this iconic fashion designer:
Whoa, is this for real?! Amazing combination of typography, information design, solar energy and, best of all, free popsicles! Thanks to the amazing (and already mentioned) Kelli Anderson, I now know about Sungevity.
All the delicious rest here to see.
Read MoreSagmeister does Happiness!
Well, “happiness” seems to have become a quite trendy and often-talked about subject of the now. I’ve read “The Happiness Project” amongst many other things about self-experimentation, changing habits, how to make yourself happy as a creative, etc. Shouldn’t I be just happy? As it seems, for some odd reason, I still need confirmation, guidance or else regarding reaching a certain degree of happiness in my own life. SO. Having said that, Stefan Sagmeister has dedicated some time to display self-experimentation in regards to his happiness:
The Happy Film takes a look at the strategies serious psychologists ‘recommend to improve one’s personal well-being and overall happiness. Questions such as ‘Is it possible to train our mind in the same way’ that we train our bodies?’ and ‘Can we change our behavior to make’us happier?’will be put to the test in this highly visual documentary.
Personally, I can’t wait to see this. I’m very glad to see that Hillman Curtis is also involved with this production. Now, let’s all be happy…
Read MoreI love TED – some of their talks make me laugh, some make me cry, and some just make me curious.
