This :: guy :: makes delicious :: shoes :: . These bad boys were commissioned by Nike and displayed in Stockholm at :: Sneakersnstuff :: a while back. Mmmm.

Also, upon further inspection of his site, Olle managed to do some pretty cool interior decorating by laying down some sticky-back vinyl over his less than attractive flooring and doodling all over the place. The result is wicked, and as a side note: his cat is ridiculously beautiful.

Cheap Art.

T and I went to countless second hand shops and church sales when we first moved in in January, hunting for cool, cheap furniture for our place. One of the spots was a gold mine and we found tons of great pieces for like 3$ each. On our way out, I spotted a mirror with an an Art Nouveau style lady printed on it. How much? 2$? Sold. Today I was checking out some fb photos and recognised the image from the mirror in one of my friend's fb profile photos from when she was in Paris. Turns out the image is from one of Czech painter Alphonse Mucha's JOB cigarette paper posters from 1896. Cool beans!

Portland :: Mark Warren Jacques - painter and amateur philosopher ::

Mark Warren Jacques. His work is currently being shown in a group exhibition (called 'New Territory') at :: White Walls gallery :: in San Francisco. According to his bio, " Mark describes himself as an “amateur philosopher” concerned with relationships, music, skateboarding, entrepreneurship, and living life to the fullest every day. His controlled, tight lines and loose, fluid ones are a cosmic representation of his thoughts and feelings." I am liking the dream catcher'y shapes and native patterns, I just want to put these pieces all over my apartment!

poster cabaret.

since i am supposed to be studying, my mind is naturally drifting off to more pleasant thoughts, such as my upcoming trip to scandiland. this thought leads me to daydreaming of the not-so-distant future, when i will actually be getting a little place there which presents an opportunity that i have never had before: decorating. ok, so i have lived in share houses since 2nd year at rye-high... but this is going to be a 'home' in a different kind of bf/gf way... i am pretty pumped.

so, what to put on the walls? well, when i can get some cash together i plan on ordering a few big prints from good ol' :: gb :: , but until then, maybe get some really great band posters and frame 'em? check out :: poster cabaret ::.




* love the BSS poster... designed by the dudes at :: Doublenaut Studios ::, based in toronto.
