While doing a little blog-hopping at Oh Joy! over the weekend, I came across this photo and immediately feel in love with this piece of functional art work by Jaren Goh Design.

Love the play on color and space and I can actually imagine having something like this in my own place. With all the other things going on, I just haven't been in the decorating mood . . . but I might have a new art project for the {handy}man . . .

The Art of Sy Phelan

I have to give a huge shoutout to my friend and photographer Sy Phelan. She is the person responsible for shooting the beautiful photography of my work over at AquarianThoughts. Her photography is impressive but her artwork is exceptional in my opinion! Here are a few of my favorites.

I found this bag while searching for "the perfect leather boot" in Philadelphia over the weekend. Love her brutally honest sense of humor. Some of her slogans fit my sentiments exactly . . . Check out her site here to view her goodies and weekly comics!

Here are some very cool fashion images I found over at Clam Magazine's website. I have yet to get my hands on a hard copy of the Parisian publication, but the site is full of great magazine cover images that have got me jonesin' for some new reading material . . .

The Art of Mehndi

Monday, June 25, 2007


While doing a little blog hopping I came across these beautiful images of bridal mehndi at Nirali Magazine and had to share. One thing I always admire about South Asian weddings is the art and detail that go into making each bride look like a princess. Note the intricacy of the designs.

You can find more inspirational mehndi designs here and here.

Where's the Art??

Tuesday, June 5, 2007

I didn't realize how difficult it was to find artwork that I could culturally relate to until my son was born. As you know we are in the mist of renovating our place, and it is important to me for my son to have images that reflect who he is. The below images are from vintage prints and books that have been in my family for over 30 years and are quite dear to me. It's amazing to think that some of the things from my childhood are now considered vintage! I love the colors in these paintings.



The below photo is taken from a page of Louis, by Ezra Jack Keats, who wrote and illustrated books set in urban New York throughout the 70's and 80's. My son has grown to be quite fond of this book so I've considered blowing up a few of the images and framing them for his room. The website as well as Keat's books are filled with vivid images perfect for children (or adults) . . . . . .


So. . . . . . . where's the art??
