The only way to travel:

I'm crazy about this pony drawn dandy pigeon carriage from Simon Barrett's card design:
There are so many great entries for the Shelter House of Cards campaign. Here are a few noteworthy pieces:

"Discovering the answer to the question, what does your favorite color mean tells a great deal about your preferences and personality."

WHITE: If a person is infatuated with white, sex often seems filthy. These people are puritanical in nature. French kissing is obscene and to make love in the daylight in unheard of. Women who love white will undress beneath the covers. Men will shower before and after the sex act. These people still use pet names for their genitals.

muse me

I love this photograph and Lauren Schad dress from l'étoile magazine. I so desperately want to lay around in beautiful clothes with the sole purpose of being my lover's muse.

"Ben Olson and Emma Berg live in a shadowbox. Furnishings are scarce, but the rooms overflow with art. As the sole subjects of Olson’s paintings, the couple knows how it feels to be on display...Olson and Berg embody the dynamic relationship between an artist and his muse."

Je suis un bébé requin

I wanted to take a quick swim at the beach this morning but the rainy weather wasn't in my favor. Instead, I spent my Sunday AM sipping coffee and catching up on my google reader. Then I happily stumbled upon this fuckery:

source: crappy taxidermy
It immediately reminded me of this painting that left an impression on me from my American Art History course in college: John Singleton Copley; Watson and the Shark, 1778

A quick search then lead to this 3D insanity:

anaglyph version by Jim Long

And this adorableness:

Je suis un bébé requin

Au ventre blanc aux dents nacrées
Dans les eaux chaudes
Je t’entraînerai
Et sans que tu le sache
Avec amour avec douceur
Moi vois-tu bébé requin
Je veux te dévorer le cœur

I’m a baby shark,
White-bellied and pearly-toothed,
Into the warm waters I’ll take you
And without you noticing, lovingly and smoothly,
I, pretty baby shark,
Will eat up your heart.

I hope you guys have a great Sunday. Unfortunately there's no ocean or cute french singing sharks on my itinerary today. I'm stepping away from the internet and it's kungfu grip on my attention span before this whole rainy day is lost.

dillo v bike

Would you rather own a gorgeous bike like this Bilenky Track bike:
or

an impeccable 9 banded armadillo from evolution store?
I'm being good and all my coins will be saved towards creating a pretty bike friend.
If the armadillo burned calories I'd be all over him.

This piece from You Don’t Have to Lie to Kick It by Patrick Martinez was so good they made it into a shirt .

Sometimes marrying two bad ideas can create gold.
Eyeglass lariats and weaves make me hurl a bit but this bijules nyc creation sings!
It also comes in black for my fellow brunette bitches.
