at $200 this is out of my league, but super cool nevertheless. it's a fashion bracelet made out of a recycled camera lens! they're part of craig arnold's re:vision collection that came from his passion for cameras, recycling and polishing. every one is unique and handmade in adelaide austrailia from discarded camera components and reshaped with love.
irana douer is an AMAZING artist that i highly recommend everyone check out. her stuff is fun, provoking, and not afraid of color. not to mention affordable! you can buy prints, wallets, pillowcases, cups and more with her beautiful ladies on them. save some for me!
limited edition print from frankenstyle.
*moving forward, if i find anything online that i want i will post it here with the title "i wawnt that" said in the tone of that fat lady eyeing the midget boat in napoleon dynamite.
if you're in town mother's day weekend, go see BOMB IT may 9 and 10 at 11:55 p.m. at the san marco theatre.
"the documentary explores graffiti on different continents and across languages while exposing the opposition to it and also the ideals and opinions of the artists. this comes at a pretty appropriate time for jacksonville considering the recent conversations on graffiti downtown and in its neighboring areas."
the showing is supported by levi of urbanartwarfare, a good friend and loving fiance of marisa carta - my new officemate at native sun!
but heed levi's warning . . . "we wanted to remind you to be respectful of the San Marco theatre and to not go tagging shit up after the film is over. Granted you will be totally hyped to do so…but given the nature of the film, we had a very hard time finding a theatre that would show this film so be cool, ya heard. We don’t want to have to start bustin knee caps."

as many of you know, stef and i are obsessed with the online comics of husband and wife team drew and natalie. she does nataliedee, he does toothpastefordinner and together they do married to the sea where they come up with dialogue to match random pictures. this one has been my desktop background for about a month now.

sean's been calling me sweetlime ever since he rewatched the darjeeling limited last week, so i've been calling him sour lemon. and then i found this picture on re-nest today of a lemon in the shape of a heart ie. a sweetlemon. thought it was perfect.
so i've seen and loved this floating bookshelf from umbra before, and then i saw on poppytalk that canadian house & home featured it as a bedside table! genius!
