I Adore: January 2009, Part II

11 Jan
  • Have you ever wondered what Joseph Stalin looked like as a young man? See photos of politicians when they were young here.
  • As an avid lover of all things anatomical, I can’t believe it took me this long to discover Street Anatomy.
  • If you adore all things French, you will love The Paris Apartment Blog, written by a charming woman named Claudia. She has a darling book out called ‘The Paris Apartment: Romantic Decor on a Flea-Market Budget‘. You can purchase it here.
  • Ok my friends. Imagine this:
    Over the course of the 39 days of the exhibition (September 18 through October 26, 2008), the paper absorbed the ink from the pens. The sheets at the top of each stack absorbed more ink than the sheets farther away from the tips of the pens. The result is an edition of organically related prints, each unique.

    The ink reached the 31st sheet in the stack of paper that comprises the top half of the diptych and the 29th sheet of the stack that comprises the bottom half of the diptych.Prior to discovering the extent of the edition, it was determined that the price of each diptych would equal the highest number of sheets stained by the ink.

    Now for the final product: Prismacolor Pen Print by Daniel Eatock.

  • If you love Geek.com, you will find the Mental Floss store very entertaining. Their t-shirts are so witty. [and corny]
  • The Em & Sprout Shop on Etsy [named lovingly after her kitties!] creates darling whimsical shoes but in adult sizes, along with cute t-shirts and accessories! Whether you like kitties, zombies, monsters or cute pink bows on leopard print, she has you covered. She also accepts custom orders. My personal favorites are the Winking Kitty Puff Sleeve top and the Pirate Princess shoes. Psst. Lindsay is also the mastermind behind Kid Pirate!
  • I just discovered Skin Graft Designs. Damn those are some gorgeous clothes.
  • Fumie Sasabuchi uses colored pencils and ballpoint pens to turn everyday fashion magazine spreads into flesh and bone. Fucking perfection.
  • Want to survive the Apocalypse in style? Check out: Designer Gasmasks.
  • Kate Cusack turns something normally hidden into the main attraction: Zipper Jewelry.
  • The brilliant Photography of Holgar Pooten.

    OMG, Skin Graft looks gorgeous (at least all the stuff in their Flickr). Need lots of money to blow on gorgeous clothing please! :) I am in love with Em&Sprout, I've wanted the Zombie Kitty shoes for a long time now.I added the first couple of blogs to my RSS feed reader. I meant to post about the prismacolor pen art on Carmine the other day, in the news post, but it was already getting too long. I'll probably do a half assed post with all the rest of my new things later this week.
