monday mantra

so let’s keep it simple, folks.

(via keep calm gallery)

best cover of “i’m yours” EVER.

oh man, if this doesn’t make you laugh until you cry, then you’re joyless. and that’s a shame. jason mraz’ i’m yours has never before been performed with so much incomprehensible gusto. if i were 4ish years old again, i’d throw my strawberry shortcake panties at this kid. boy, that was inappropriate.

yep. everything is all better now. you’re welcome

Michael DeForge Print

i saw this over at booooooom and instantly fell in love. why? could it be that i had the same haircut and chubby cheeks as a child? or that i’ve always wanted to wear a red peacoat with no pants (heh. just kidding?)? or that beyond the murky, hegemonic, chaos is something pure to be discovered ? yes, yes, and yes! let’s step through and see what’s on the other side…

Interview with Tim Burton

tim burton’s haunting, yet whimsically fantastic characters and dreamscapes fascinate me. watch this video and get inside tim’s head for 7 minutes. he discusses drawing, motivation for his works, why he wears striped socks!, and his loyalty to hands-on, tactile creative processes.

Everyone Should Read…

any book that encourages people to dream and draw magical watermelon boats gets a thumbs up from me. the illustrations – broccoli trees and jelly bean cars – really bring me back to my childhood.

a FULL PREVIEW of the book is available here.

and the best part?

10 Days

“Everyday the news is transmitted to us across the globe. We’re left saddened, scared, inspired, skeptical, hopeful, angry, or simply numb. But the next day brings a new set of stories painting over the memories of yesterday’s events.”

10 Days by Ripo. i love this. you will too.
