Filippo Minelli

Filippo Minelli’s ongoing Shapes project is silent beauty personified. I’d love to see one of these brilliant clouds haphazardly floating down the street during rush hour. {via The Jealous Curator}

Check out smtwtfs 02, a daily pill organizer from The Last Attempt At Greatness (TLAAG). Created from wood and blood vials, the visual reminder is that we need to be aware of what we put into our bloodstream and our body.

10. That’s How It Starts

Wow, it’s been just about forever since I shared some music. The site I was using changed up their format and I wasn’t a fan, but now I’m using Grooveshark and life is peachy again. (I don’t think I’ve ever said so before, but I’m super interested in what you’re listening to as well. So please, share away in the comments section!) Click away on either image to listen.

Jen Stark

Burst, Jen Stark

Over and Out, Jen Stark

Technicolor Prism, Jen Stark

Artist Jen Stark does things with paper that I can only dream about. My favorite is the last piece pictured above. If the word simplicity can be attached to any piece of her work this particular one captures it perfectly.

Live Now

I was lucky enough to win a copy of the book Live Now: Artful Messages of Hope, Happiness & Healing from For Me, For You this past week, and to say I’m impressed would be putting things way too mildly. When illustrator Eric Smith was diagnosed with cancer in spring of 2008 he started the Live Now Project, a site that compiles inspiring illustrated quotes from artists and designers the world over. This book is a printed compilation of the best of the best. The artwork is as honest as it is beautiful. My favorite little touch is that each and every page is perforated, so if you find one that resonates especially hard you can tear it out.

The Flavour Thesaurus

PHOTO + LINK: Amy Moss, Eat Drink Chic

I can’t lie, what first drew me to The Flavour Thesaurus was the graphic cover. But after reading a few reviews on Niki Segnit’s book I was drawn towards the concept, which examines foods by flavor. Segnit teaches you about pairing flavors, what to do with that extra whatever you have lying around, and basically how to become your own on-the-fly chef. It’s also really well organized, set up along the format of Roget’s College Thesaurus. (Which, FYI, I won a copy of in the 5th grade Spelling Bee.)

Time Wasting Experiments

Alyson Provax’s Time Wasting Experiments are an on-going series of letterpress pieces documenting just that, time spent. I like it that Provax refers to them as “permission slips” as well as billable hours of life. {via Teen Angster}

Marco Suarez

I don’t know how else to explain it, these mesmerizing pieces by Marco Suarez look and feel like home to me. Must be the circles. Circles make everything better.
