Damn it! After spotting these alphabet lights on my spinning wheels I was compelled to find out more.

And now I'm totally in love with these useless yet oh so special light up marquee quotations from Agent Gallery Chicago:

Please someone convince me i either need them right this minute or I'm absolutely crazy for even considering spending $195 on air quotes.

Henry Darger

When I think of him I feel like crying.

His sacred little room & workspace:

A selection of his novels, inspiration scrapbooks and weather records:I neeeeed this:Dear Amazon & Ebay sellers, please stop selling this book f0r $200 and up, thanks.

The first comprehensive survey of Darger's art and writings. Included are reproductions of approximately 114 of Darger's collage drawings and fifteen selections from his writings, focusing on his life's work, In the Realms of the Unreal, which is an account of a cosmic struggle against child slavery unfolding on a planet vastly larger than our own. This battle between the forces of good-led by the intrepid Vivian sisters-and the evil Glandelinian nations, was illustrated and extended in Darger's art, including the mural-size watercolor drawings that represent his mature achievement as an artist.

nice find: every person in new york

I'm totally amused by daily drawing blog every person in new york.

The mission statement: "I am trying to draw every person in New York... When the project is completed we will all have a get together."

animals make better friends

"There is something deeply moving about a man referring to an animal, plainly and unsentimentally, as his best friend."

my family
After seeing this review I'm interested in reading the philosopher and the wolf by Mark Rolands wolf owner and philosophy professor at the University of Miami.

"Animals cannot play Scrabble or pay compliments; they don't have exciting news and won't discuss yesterday's game. What they do offer, to those who open themselves to it, is a powerful constancy, an uncomplicated friendship that simplifies and heals as it reminds us of our ancestral life before we struck the fraught bargain of great resourcefulness and ingenuity in return for a greater capacity for malevolence and deceit...Reading this book, like living in kinship with an animal, offers a chance for something very fine to rub off on us -- like brushing against a monarch's cape and being sprinkled with gold powder."
"Brenin, a giant of 150 pounds, standing 35 inches at the shoulder on paws the size of baseball mitts, accompanied Rowlands everywhere, even napping under a desk as Rowlands delivered his philosophy lectures to rooms full of nervous students whose unzipped bookbags were occasionally invaded by a wandering nose in search of snacks."

I have always felt a strong connection with animals. I wish it were acceptable to bring my dog to work. Daily interaction with clients and candidates has me yearning for the nonverbal connection with my pets when I get home.

mini obsession: new bike

I absolutely love this image above.

The only thing I'd add would be my new F-Troupe saddle shoes

and my rackkandruin quartz necklace.

Oh and USPS please bring my goodies soon, thanks.

I'm feeling pretty trash heap like right now.

nice find: Carlton Scott Sturgill

I'm really digging these porny pixelated paintings by Carlston Scott Sturgill made up of Ralph Lauren Paint chips. I'm assuming they comment on class issues, suburbia and sexuality but I just really like the way they look.
