Triangles are my favourite shape// three points where two lines meet

시간에(의) 직면, Face the whole(Martini) - Daehyun Kim

Go to moonassi.com and look at the rest of Daehyum Kim's other works...they're all equally black & white. The duo-tone drawings are really inspiring. It reminds me of Thom Yorke's solo album covers, or like that one Fever Ray album cover. Woodblock carving, then printing with ink or scratching into clayboard would be a lot of fun to create duo-tone drawings like these.

Canned Heat!!! //Ashish Spring 2013

Sequin scrunchies, white hot Reboks n socks, 70s dad glasses...this is basically a female version of Napoleon Dynamite. Can't you just hear Canned Heat by Jamiroquai? The answer is yes!

Images thanks to Elle.com (aka the BEST source for runway photos)

PS: I'm experimenting with HTML/CSS page layouts...if we're lucky, things could get weeeird!!

Alberta Ferretti// fall "jewel tones"

Alberta Ferretti print ad from Fall 2008: I love the colour palette of these pictures! I wish that my metro ride would be as peaceful and elegant as this...alternatively, there's the vacant looking singing man and the muted Rihanna from someone's headphones, and the unfortunate fact that the subways are never this empty.

Brown suit for thanxsgiving

I've found the most perfect Thanksgiving dinner outfit; a brown tweed suit!! You'd vaguely reference the pilgrims if you pair it with a white ruffled shirt and buckled shoes but otherwise, you'd be full on referencing Napoleon Dynamite which is always a fashion DO. On that note, this holiday season, may your family be blessed with a bounty of gourds.

j.e.h. macdonald\ radiohead 'hail to the thief'

      Here are some fall scenes by J.E.H. MacDonald. There are some at the AGO and at the National Gallery. These paintings make me want to walk in the woods in the fall on an overcast day. This reminds me of when I was obsessed with Hail to the Thief (click to listen) by Radiohead and thought that it was the perfect soundtrack to walking in a forest in the fall when everything seems slightly creepy, like the sunny golden forest in the Blair Witch project*.
