my love for you.

Theo Jansen's STRANDBEEST.

Watch this video. You will forget that this beast is not an actual gentle giant meandering along the beach. Thanks so much Lindsey Carr for sharing Theo Jansen's wonderful animal sculpture on her twitter feed. But wait, there is so much more...see here.

Will Do.

TV ON THE RADIO "WILL DO" from Dugan O'Neal on Vimeo.

I was really sad to hear Gerard Smith, bassist in TV On The Radio passed away on Wednesday from lung cancer. Too young and too sad. TOTR released this video of 'Will Do' last week, and I kid you not it's been on repeat everytime my feet hit the streets. It's a beautiful love song.

 

GAIA hits Philly.

GAIA recently spread his love all over Philadelphia. Thanks to Conrad from Streets Dept for sharing his 'man on the street' photos! ;) The above paste-up was inspired by a photograph from renowned graffiti photographer, Martha Cooper. You can see his posts here and here with more images. The above and below pics are from GAIA.

Robin Eley.

Robin Eley emailed me yesterday and shared his impressive, photorealistic paintings. I think what touches me most about Eley's work is how many of his pieces seem to revolve around his parents and memories. It seems so sweet and comforting even though the paintings have a bit of a haunting vibe to them, almost like a pregnant pause fo what is to come or to be.

Megan Whitmarsh & Paper Monster.

Megan Whitmarsh and Paper Monster released their awesome new print, Yeti & Casio last week. It's an 18 layered screenprint with hand embroidery, limited edition of 50. Of course Whitmarsh's signature Yeti takes the mainstage. ;)
