inspiration

today i decided to go through my stack of magazines to add to my inspiration books. this is a by-product of that process. it takes a lot longer than seems appropriate but it is worth it! i feel much better now.

gerhard richter

i love pretty much anything and everything gerhard richter does. one of my all time favorite painters. he's always been interested in the combination of photography and painting, and this new direction is pretty amazing. found via today and tomorrow.

these are some of his older works. i would love to see some of these in person.

teacups!

noah's super awesome sister sent me some teacups she found at a thrift store to add to my growing teacup collection! i love them, they are a perfect addition. thanks jesse!

these are my current stacks. not too crazy yet, right?

anne hardy

weird and awesome staged photos by anne hardy. i love staged photography.

back to school

in honor of the impending school year and the fact that i am actually a semi-student again after five years, i made this notebook lunchbag for my design*sponge DIY. i'm actually pretty happy with this how this one turned out. the fabric seemed like it wasn't going to be exactly right ( i wanted thinner blue lines of course) but it worked out well. i love this time of year, probably because i am from the east coast where the weather actually does something fantastic in fall. but i still love california, don't get me wrong.

reading this book. it's fascinating and it fulfills my pangs for new england. oh to live in boston in the 1800s!

also trying to come up with some creative get rich quick schemes. don't steal this one, but my friends and i are thinking it can't fail, especially somewhere with lots of hipsters like dolores park or maybe alamo square. ready for it? banana stand.

rune guneriussen

sorry it has been so long!! i have been busy with work and class and travel. but honestly not so busy i couldn't have posted more. i apologize. i'm back now.

gorgeous photographs by rune guneriussen. i have a weakness for anthropomorphism and lamps so naturally i am in love with these. the warmth of the lamps in the freezing climate is a nice contrast. but i don't want those phones to freeze to death!
