Stuck in a cage with teenage rage

Done. I've been thinking about these for weeks and I finally bought them. I waited to make sure I really wanted them, which I think deserves a medal, considering how impulsively I buy everything else
on the internet.

Kind of you to notice no-one's dying

I'm obsessed with rubber stamps and really into glitter right now, so the work of Loz Ives at Because Studio hits the right spot.

Plus, he made a poster called Glitter Herpes, what's not to like?

When you see my face hope it gives you hell

Greg Hathaway apparently doesn't sleep much, but at least his insomnia is creative.

In other news, mi Flickr todavía está en español.

I'm ok with being unimpressive, I sleep better




Funny little reminders from Recovering Lazyholic.

After viewing these, my Flickr spontaneously changed itself to Spanish and although I'm encantada at the prospect of flexing my language skills, it makes everything a little confusing.

Shake it like that, alley cat





A great series of textures and patterns in these pictures by photographer Malick Sidibé, from a NYTimes feature,
Prints and the Revolution.

Flow sweetly, hang heavy

Lovely work, but frustrating website. I'm clicking on everything, nothing works. Props to Pontus Frankenstein though, tough name.

Isn't (s)he a bit like you and me

Debbie and Nima are having a baby, congratulations!

You suddenly complete me

I've finally done it, I've bought a digital camera. So now I finally get why people have 247 photo albums on Facebook and each picture in that album repeated five times.

Because it makes sense you would need five versions of the same shot; there's the blurry one, the artistically blurry one, the one you took, the one your friend took so you could be in it, and of course, the riveting headless group shot. Seriously, feel free to edit.

Saying that, I'm now the one taking a million pictures a minute and staring at a shot of my shoes against the sofa, thinking "but people will want to see this!"

Anyway, here it is, the R8 in all it's smooth glory.

I bought it on James' recommendation because, really, it's not like I have a mind of my own.

There's a hole in my soul

Dutch artist Amie Dicke shares my love of paper and sharp blades.
Armed with an Xacto blade, she carves intricate shapes and patterns from torn out pages of magazines, creating a beautiful kind of lace.




Her website is incredibly underwhelming.

Her cutouts remind me of the work M/M did for Balenciaga in 2001, as well as a random poster of theirs. I loved that campaign.

Twice as brightly






Tiiu Kuik is all pretty in Patmos, stunningly shot by Camilla Akrans for the NYTimes.

Images are taken from Fashion Gone Rogue, my latest addiction. It references all fashion editorials past and present. Its images are moderately high res. It's better than crack.

We still have far to go


Awesome type, random Flickr find.
Though not as random as this: gilded spine desk lamp, anyone?

I am free from all the things that take my friends



While I was skimming through VVORK trying to understand what all the hype is about, my picture-frame-crazed eyes zeroed in on these pieces by Los Angeles artist Elad Lassry.

I ♥ Photograph covered him a while back, as did Interview in a feature by Christopher Bollen. Love it or hate it, just don't call him a photographer.

I love that the frame is a part of the artwork, I love the bold colours, and even if I never manage to frame anything correctly, it's nice to see someone nail it. (Not funny).

See the world like lovers do

My insatiable love for the watermelon has been catered for once more.


This time with these MoMA x Herman Miller prints, designed by Stephen Frykholm.

You're so ambitious for a juvenile


Looking like the Queen of Cool, Mona Johannesson by Patrick Demarchelier.

Baby satisfy my soul

I've never been a raging Gauckler geek, but looking at these goodies from Colette might just do it.

You're waiting for someone to perform with


Nice series of moody shots from Laetitia Bica, on Diane Pernet's blog. Haven't checked out the rest of her work yet.
