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.

Bound in the West by Tulip, Texas

A less minimal slashed canvas, these are by John Clang.

Left my wallet in El Segundo

The good people of Refinery29 are saving fashion.

It's always Christmas when I feel this way

There are no ads on the French Spotify!

Jonathan can go die.









And the last straw:

They'll put you back to France on a ship with a sail

I'm off home for a month.

Love.

In my time I've melted into many forms

Why write emails when you can draw them?

Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle

Vintage!

No card this year, just a couple of pictures from Thomas: numero dos in my brochette of bros. He went from in front of the camera to behind it and is always off filming somewhere miles away.

T'es presque vieux, mon vieux. Joyeux Anniversaire.

Living for Lotion

Found on this mostly weird but sometimes interesting blog, Becca Mann's painting makes me wish for summer and reminds me of Corsica.

It looks exaclty the way my eyes feel, walking into a cool house after being in the blinding sun.

Wild Honey Pie

From the depths of my hard drive, some nice pictures from Marcio Simnch. He's got a thing for elbows in the air and girls looking over their shoulder, this guy.

Very odd navigation on his site, but very lovely work.

You were queen of the waves upon the ocean bed

Pictures from a summer under the sun in Erbalunga.
All very Cosa Nostra.

Our house had pin-ups on the walls, leftover from the G.I.s posted in Corsica during WWII.

Here and now biff bang pow

Many, many website updates. Finally Jason Munn's got some new posters up, Nima has a new website, It's Nice That have busted out their new grid and if you thought Dan couldn't go more minimalist, think again.





I'm also way behind on this, but I'm maxing out Delicious bookmarking.

Can't wait to get home, baby dial your number

Great couple of pictures from Mark Wagner that remind me of high school desks, etched with ballpoint pen initials and carved with messages of love and hate.
