my love for you.

Building Block.

I discovered Building Block via Montmarte over the weekend. Love the beauty in all of her subtle pieces -- from bags to quilts. I wish I could find out more about her...if you know anything let me know. ;)

Podcast: Jen Stark.

This week I sit down with Jen Stark. Jen is known for her detailed, meticulously cut paper sculptures along with her large drawings and animated videos. I've long admired Jen's work so it was great to sit and talk with her and get to ask her about her work, inspiration and living as an artist.

Don't Play No Games: Beastie Boys, Santigold & Spike Jonze.

Beastie Boys new video, Don't Play No Games featuring Santigold and directed by Spike Jonze. 11+ minutes of Barbies, explosives, miniatures, zombies, a yeti, sharks and music. I don't think music videos get any better.
