Have you ever been hard pressed to answer who is the painter to famous pieces of art? Or just want to plain out impress your friends with your high brow art knowledge? Maybe you have an AP Art History Exam to ace and don't really feel up to memorizing every nuance and detail of every painting. I love the direct bluntness of the descriptions! I wish my art history was this fun. Now I did find fault in a few, but over all this was a funny lil' observation so definitely check out the rest. {<a href="http://themetapicture.com/the-best-way-to-recognize-the-artists-of-paintings/">via</a>}Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06482210873388944146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2077913360678179212.post-40464920743013282432014-03-07T15:34:00.001-05:002014-03-08T12:59:36.359-05:00{ Music Love: Lucius }I'm in love with these ladies! so mod and so cool and what a great sound!

Ever wonder what became of your favorite nickelodeon cartoon characters? Ya know, incase they kept on growing up in cartoon world. Well wonder no further! The amazing Celeste {via Celeste Doodles} has a real talent for re-imagining your favorite cartoon characters. The above image are the <a href="http://celestedoodles.tumblr.com/image/53984008200">gang from Rugrats</a>, which while a lil' too young for me in its hay day, was still a well watched show of mine. Be sure to follow her on <a href="http://celestedoodles.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a> and check out the rest of her work. It's definately inspiring (I know I'll be sketching tonight!).<br />

As a new mom I'm sure I follow / subscribe to too many blogs and people about parenting (mostly cool things for kids), but today there was a post for these incredible outdoor play houses. Now my lil' man just has your standard run of the mill fischer price play house / slide combo (it was actually a craigslist find), so he doesn't <i>need </i>a new play house or anything, but the designer inside of me just SQUEELED when I saw these! <br />
<br />
Meet the <a href="http://www.smartplayhouse.com/en/outdoor_playhouses/illinois">Illinois Play House from Smart Play house</a> (appropriately named)! Smart Play House has tons of other great modern play houses, but isn't this <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farnsworth_House">Farnsworth House</a> knock off the cutest? I'd totally live there (well if the darn thing was scaled up like 300%). I mean it's a straight up copy, but who hasn't copied this house (thinking of ol'<a href="http://img.timeinc.net/time/photoessays/2007/glass_house/glass_house_1.jpg"> PJ</a>, and don't forget<a href="http://www.arch.utk.edu/news/2010_11_William_Shel.html"> Bill Shell</a> - ut arch knows what I'm saying). <br />

I've designed a few trade show booths in my day, one for cdp and one for medmaps. But to have the ability to display your own personal work and really go all out is something I've often daydreamed about.<br />
<br />
The Creative duo at <a href="http://thesearethings.com/work/">These are Things</a> got the chance to do just that, at the <a href="http://www.nationalstationeryshow.com/">National Stationary Show</a> and whoa! is their booth and documentation impressive. It has just the right amount of handmade flair that makes my design heart flutter. I have friends who do plenty of craft shows and can't help but think of them when I saw this. Check the link for more and a time lapse set up video, but below are my fave. {<a href="http://www.makingit.co/2013/06/national-stationery-show-2013-booth-design-and-setup/">via</a>}<br />

It looks like those Dead Spaces under the interstate by-passes are getting some love in north knoxville. A mural project was started a few months back by the north knoxville communities (Fourth and Gill, Parkridge, old North, and Knoxville) and led by Parkridge resident Lynne Sullivan and artist (chosen via contest last winter) Per-Ole Lind, also an East Knox resident. But it seems like the murals are finally taking shape and coming together and additionally bringing the communities together!<br />
<br />
<i>“It’s done more than create art,” Sullivan said. “It’s created
community. And I hope it’s just the first of many projects the
neighborhoods can do.” </i><br />

While I'm no stranger to the benefits of having some great kitties. It's always nice to find others (artists I admire no less!) who share the same love for felines as me. Similar to the <a href="http://hotmargauxxx.blogspot.com/2010/09/freddie-mercury-my-first-idol.html">Freddie Mercury article</a>, I'm in love with Dali and his beautiful Ocelot, and Warhol and his 25 kittens all named Sam. <i><br /></i><br />
<br />
<i>The elusive, self-sustaining nature of the cat finds its human reflection
best in the personality of the artist - as they often seek inspiration
from their feline companions. similar to ancient egyptian culture - in
the sense that they revered cats as borderline deities - cat
domestication owed to the clear depictions of house cats in paintings
from over 3,600 years ago. being viewed as both an object <br />of worship and an adored pet, the animals frequently were adorned with jeweled necklaces and gold earrings.</i>{<a href="http://www.designboom.com/art/famous-artists-and-designers-photographed-with-their-cats/">via</a>}Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06482210873388944146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2077913360678179212.post-26063216640491874322013-07-10T11:13:00.000-04:002013-07-10T11:13:00.435-04:00{ Tweets worth a Laugh }<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiewUA4vWGZ_fbPuVIFVLw7UQ6fnfTpC6AcWVeh_xI-YvUMyk2pGZBVWJyG0xMn89EptPauVsir-uKV_pvfksHXfQpidTGZLITtlP7jZINK9hs66PNLtSnwXJ4Yn-PXlnv4N5Y7tWCY8PI/s1600/Picture+4.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiewUA4vWGZ_fbPuVIFVLw7UQ6fnfTpC6AcWVeh_xI-YvUMyk2pGZBVWJyG0xMn89EptPauVsir-uKV_pvfksHXfQpidTGZLITtlP7jZINK9hs66PNLtSnwXJ4Yn-PXlnv4N5Y7tWCY8PI/s320/Picture+4.png" width="193" /></a>Found this chuckle worthy twitter feed, <a href="https://twitter.com/techemployee">The Entitled Tech Worker</a> from a friend via FB.

well not really humps, but how many camels are you worth?<br />It's a silly online test site, and on this bleak, rainy friday I figure we could all use a little laugh... and it's been ages since I did a good post. Don't worry this isn't a <i>good post</i> per sea, but at least it's a post!<br />
<br />Be sure to do kilograms instead of pounds for weight. I messed up the first time, and apparently was weighing in at 900lbs (cause I entered pounds) and ended up being worth zero camels! lol!

I've been dying for a more modern everyday quilt, I am in LOVE with Nubbytwiglet's design for the <a href="http://cargocollective.com/nubbytwiglet/The-Blogcademy-1">blogacademy</a> (someone please send me to one!) and have been obsessed with finding a quilt similar to that design. I feel like I keep seeing it, but can't find it... I know, that makes no sense! But I finally did! well... sort of... The lovely lady, Kate, of <a href="http://seekatesew.blogspot.ca/">See Kate Sew</a>. Posted an adorbs quilt she made (and a how to!) for a cute lil' babe. It's pink, but it has that fractal pattern I love so much. Now to make mine but with greys and aqua! {<a href="http://seekatesew.blogspot.ca/2013/01/modern-ombre-bw-triangle-quilt-tutorial.html">via</a>}Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06482210873388944146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2077913360678179212.post-43055473987546909132013-01-17T11:44:00.001-05:002013-01-17T11:44:39.620-05:00{ My Daguerreotype Boyfriend } <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
