The 40 Show


The 40 Show at Tenforward Collective on Water Street in Vancouver is now open.

"Over 50 of today’s top cartoonists, animators, and pretty picture-makers all submitted works using 40 oz. malt liquor bottles as their canvas. Vancouver, in an attempt to clean up the streets for the impending 2010 Olympics has eliminated “the working man’s drink” from its stores, and the show aims to show that people care about their malt liquor"

Tender!

Not really the height of sophistication but I still had to post because I really like cute stuff. Paintings from Shinobu Matsui.

Ridiculous - love it.

Of COURSE there's a blog for "The Daily Puppy". And of course they have a rating system that is out of ten "biscuits". This is Koa, the goldendoodle. That's right - goldendoodle.

Missed it!

Danget. I mean, I don't have ANYTHING going on, and I still forget to hit up "free cone day" at Ben & Jerry's. But seriously - how much preparation does free cone day really call for?

Wiki - immediate

Wikipedia is fascinating. The amount of information and edits that have already been made to the entry for the Virgina Tech shootings is pretty incredible.

Weekend batch

I've uploaded my very professional pics from the weekend: Moving and JBL4's Berfday.

DIY loft art...

John and Pann made their own canvases AND painted the art themselves. I think it looks really cool and straight out of a fancy shmancy home store. You guys wanna make some money of this idea??? I've got time.

Peeps Dioramas!

I like it when people have time to do elaborate peeps dioramas. But I can't hate because dioramas were pretty much my favorite art project EVER in school. {peep the peeps dioramas}

HOTT. With two Ts. Creative photography from Mat Mikulla. His really affordable prints (around $40) look just like Tord, which is probably why I love them.

Wood Paneling: don't hate

People do you see my vision now? I don't know how many times I've gone off about how I'm going to have a phat 70's basement, and how it's going to have wood paneling.

This survey is ridiculous and should only be taken if you have absolutely - nothing, else, to do. Can I get a witness on pancake though? {vote}

Knut: Meet Your Match

When I saw video of Knut, the baby orpaned polar bear in Berlin, I think I had a heart attack from cutenessoverload. But Woodland Park now has a baby tiger who is making her cute debut on April 9th!!! This is like, the biggest thing since Hansa. {via metroblogging}

AOTD: Azul De Corso

Yay for working graphic designers who also make time to do art. Azul De Corso lives in Buenos Aires and she is obviously a pimp.

Meat Loaf Muffins! - ?

They're no Meatloaf Volcano, but I'm still finding the idea of meatloaf muffins delightful. Don't judge: meats can come in all shapes and sizes. Perhaps this is a good idea for wendi's wedding buffet? BAH!

Huzzah!

First of all: I love Yelp. Ask yelpers about anything and they will have an answer. In my search for good happy hours they have introduced me to happy hour guides! I'm so glad someone took the time to create Spreadsheets for this. It will be very useful.

Friday Stuffs.

My sister is the greatest. Yup, I can't help bragging about it, Court got a full scholarship to any school in the state that she wants. WHOOHOO! She totally deserves it and I'm so proud of her.

I'm not the only one who's sad that the cingular logo is dead!
{AIGA: Voice}

Solution to my no-headboard: paint a faux one. Still haven't found the *perfect* headboard that is in my price range, and this idea is awesome because I can create whatever kind I want! {via Decor8}

Wendi don't worry, I found you guys a wedding cake. {cute overload}

AOTD: MaiLmeART

MAilmeART, from Darren Di Lieto asks people to submit any art created ON the actual envelope/package that has been successfully processed through the mail. Cool idea - and you can win a prize.

Guest Accommodations for St. Patty's Day

:: Equestrian
:: Hunting
:: Clay Target Shooting
:: Archery
:: Golf
:: Tennis
:: Lake Fishing
:: River Fishing
:: Falconry
Finaly, a caslte accommodation that offers Falconry!

I'm not sure why this coat rack from DESU is $445, but whatever. It's really cool.

These were issued a while ago, but I still have them on the brain and think they'd look really cool if they were framed all dramatic. Isamu Noguchi is the poo! {Isamu Noguchi US Stamps}

Spirit Invader

Last weekend, post-bridesmaid-dress shopping and post-cheesecakefactory gluttony, we went into this crazy store, J.Z. Rose. I guess this place full of high-end ($$$) crazy vintage antiques and decorations is owned by JZ Knight. Apparently JZ channels Ramtha (her spirit invader), and she lives in this huge mansion in Yelm, where she runs "Ramtha's School of Enlightenment". Whaaaat? This is all crazy. That store we went in was insane. They had some of Cher's dresses. And they were bangin'. And all this other awesome crazy stuff. This is also only funny to me mabye because I remember my dad making jokes about 'ramtha' a lot. I think he still does.

Seattle Manse Drama!

I don't know how I feel about this. On the one hand, yes, save a Manse. But, the idea of a "mansion disctrict" in Seattle is kindof disgusting and if the integrity of this manse is already beyond repair, then maybe it shouldn't be out there, as an embarassment to other, proper mansions.

Problems solved.

Any diety you like, made of chocolate. Why not? {chocolate dieties via shelterrific}

Not like I would be caught dead with an umbrella in Seattle, but if I had to, these are really pretty. {Umbrellas from Tray 6}

I bought my mini muffin tins before I knew about all these bundt cake pans from nodic ware! {amazon}

Ironic Sans posted this state quiz: see how many you can get in ten minutes. {State Quiz}

I know that I have better things to spend my money on other than cotton swab holders, but look how cute! {friend}
