OK OK OK by Mike Slack was a gift that I thoroughly enjoyed then and now, especially when I need a creative snack. The collection got bigger with Scorpio and later Pyramids. I have enjoyed them all. No text, only prints of his polaroids, sharing visual stories. Poetic and clever take on the everyday.

Enjoy reading Habitually Chic by Heather Clawson and today's post are photos of the studio of sculptor Constantin Brancusi. Love his work and makes me want to go back to Paris soon to visit the studio again!

While at the architecture firm Tim Barber Ltd, I had the privilege of participating in the design of Moby’s house in the Hollywood Hills. The project was completed in 2011 and featured that year in the New York Times. The house was featured again in 2014, this time in the Los Angeles Times. I love how the house has evolved with art! It’s great to see a house have a life of it’s own. My areas of focus were in the bathrooms and kitchen, selecting tile, stone, fixtures and such. I wonder if these rooms have evolved, as well.

Interesting article recently posted on Curbed LA about the Dutch Chocolate Shop in downtown Los Angeles. Beautiful installation of custom tiles by artist and tile innovator Ernest A. Batchelder one hundred years ago, in 1914.
Blade Runner
Re-watched Blade Runner recently. An all time favorite film. This time certain scenes made me think of art.
This scene with Rachel (Sean Young) at the piano made me think of...
Klimt's painting Pale Face (Blasses Gesicht) 1907
Deckard (Harrison Ford) is enhancing this particular image, which made me think of...
Vermeer's painting A Maid Asleep (Slapend Meisje) 1657
Eames - Early America
Eames put together a book of Images of Early America. Pretty fantastic.
