I'm a sucker for funny, simple and tiny art, I always have been. Little pieces like this are like knock-knock jokes but they make me smile.

Meet my new furniture score: Plastic Fantastic dinning chair by Studio JSPR


(more images from the plastic fantastic series)
The Base Annex is closing up shop and everything is available at great prices. We scored this deliciously neon green and rubber coated lux dining chair for pennies on the dollar! The green army of them above is great but I'm happy with just one.

indoor/outdoor furniture by Studio JSPR — The Plastic-Fantastic series. The line includes colorful chairs, sofas, tables, dressers and light fixtures and is covered with a special layer of rubber, making it suitable for a patio or garden (a special coating that was first developed for use with medical equipment). We love how the baroque style has been modernized by the use of a single, vibrant color. Pull up a chair and enjoy. Dining Chair Approx. 19” W x 41” H x 17“ D

Used books, house cats, suspicious looking ladies and men with beards always make me happy.
If I had an extra 2k lying around and more wall space I'd certainly invest in one of these pieces by Mike Stilkey.

"Stilkey depicts a melancholic and at times a whimsical cast of characters inhabiting ambiguous spaces and narratives of fantasy and fairy tales. A lingering sense of loss and longing hints at emotional depth and draws the viewer into their introspective thrall with a mixture of capricious poetry, wit, and mystery."

Curated Bookshelf

"5,084,000,000 people 5,360 pages 3,700 years 243 countries 7 books 1 shelf." San Francisco designers Mike and Maaike have created JUXTAPOSED:Religion the first in a series of Juxtaposed curated bookshelves for blankblank. “For the first time, the world’s most influential religious texts are brought together and presented on the same level, their coexistence acknowledged and celebrated.”. The shelf is made of reclaimed hardwood and is offered in a limited edition of 50."

I don't care much for religious concepts but I do like the idea of a curated bookshelf and displaying books as art.

I'm going to be real fancy soon!

An other fabulous treasure from Lovedtodeath

I will cut someone for this print

Luke Stephenson takes beautiful photographs of many things but his "budgies" series is my present obsession.
I would love to have an entire wall of these:



I'm upset that I missed the chance to pick up an affordable medium sized Yellow Canary Print #1 from 20x200 this summer. The only print still available is 30"x40" and $2000!

Great Book:25 Under 25 Up-and-Coming American Photographers Vol. 1

I don't typically get that interested in photography books anymore but 25 under 25 caught my eye. I was especially drawn to fellow MassArt alumns work kathryn parker almanas. Her still-lifes are gorgeous and I'm crazy about the pastry series.
