patio party

now im obsessing over these salterini chairs. these first two are from the vintage supply co on etsy and the others courtesy google. that last image from the old salterini catalog is me preparing for my guests in my dining room complete with green shag carpet! OMG!

work work work

i'm working on moving out of my place right now and am looking at a postcard that nico always had up in the room by legendary illustrator/printer, david weidman. the simple statement, "WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER" is my mantra right now. here's a look at some of his other work- great colors and layers! saw some pretty cool pillows with his prints at urban outfitters in chicago. they also did a neat little interview with him about his past work as an animator, ceramicist,

quite animated!

hi guys, just landed in athens today.......!!! so hot here! cant wait to see the freaking PARTHENON!!!! here's a little tidbit from a great czech animator, jan svankmajer, that i saw last night in vienna....it's wild!!! THE FLAT from 1968! enjoy. i have so much to share but not enough time to share it!

psyched out

i just signed up for netflix (finally!!) and my first rental was PSYCH OUT, this old jack nicholson movie about a deaf girl traipsing around psychedelic late 60s san francisco looking for her acid freak brother. music by strawberry alarm clock and a special appearance by the seeds at a faux hippie funeral (probs up on mt. tam). totally trippy, totally kitschy, totally san francisco.

brit birds

my mom's got this great coffee table book with loads of british fine-young-things from the 1960s- charly rampling, patty boyd, lady eliot, and on and on. it's called birds of britain with photos and text by john d. green. just thought i'd share a bit with you, so grab a cup of tea and hold on to your trousers! we're going back to london, circa 1967....
