7 Resolutions

If I keep my resolutions to myself, no one will keep me honest. So now I’ll blame YOU if a I fail. In 2012, I resolve to: 1. Shut down my computer every day. I need to do this for my computer, because even devices need some rest. And I need to do this for [...]

One hour, one morning.

A few weeks ago, I decided to list all moments of bliss over the course of one hour, in one morning. There were at least ten things, but these are my favorites. 1. When The Who’s “Baba O’Riley” (Teenage Wasteland) was blasting as I walked into the art store. How can one not be inspired [...]

Embroidered Heart

Romanian artist Andrea Dezsö‘s embroidered heart is one of my most favorite things to ever post on this blog. I think it’s absolutely lovely. We’ve been spending a lot of time at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center of late – we’re producing an interview series with faculty there. Perhaps that’s why this anatomy caught my eye. That Dezsö is [...]

Friends: Logan and I finally broke down and invested in iPhones. My Dinoberry was a good little dragon, but I’ve been long ready to meet Siri. And now I need your help.

Big, huge congrats to Tricia Traci and her crew (Katie Meade, Jeri Rafter) for creating this really rad experimental film about Double Cheese Burgers. PS: Jer Bear, [...]

Merry Little Christmas.

Right now there is a t-shirt contest going on for Media Arts and our friend Tricia Traci has a couple of designs that are f’n hilarious. Just wanted to share!

Washed Out

I am currently working on my thesis project – doing the production design and costume design! I just wanted to share some of my inspiration for this movie – it’s all about glass, transparencies, layers, the ocean, fog, steam, rain, mirrors and so on. The story, written by Caitlin Hofmeister, revolves around a girl working [...]

Ikko Tanaka

I love the colors this time of year. No … not the red. Not the green.  The colors of rainbow lights on a tree. The colors of sparkly party dresses. The light that exists on black backdrops, competing with stars. For some reason the art by Graphic Designer Ikko Tanaka felt like Christmas to me. [...]
