Still Life.

You don't have to look very hard to find out that design and art exist everywhere.
Sometimes I wonder if anyone needs to 'make' art when all we have to do is look at what already exists around us. Perhaps in making art we call attention to paying attention.

Real men wear khakis.

It's well into fall and I have no excuse, I've got to start dressing better. There are two things that I want to happen before the end of the year, sort out my wardrobe and make art again. Okay so the art part is more important, but heck so is fashion. I love the colour options and cut of these khaki trousers from Unis.

Canadian Pride


Haven't heard the new Feist yet but it's getting great reviews. This picture is so beautiful, I heart Leslie Feist! You can hear some of the music on her site which is where I will be going after this.

When I grow up I want to be Bryan Ferry! I saw him in concert this past weekend and it was quite the show. The dude is 66 folks, that's SIXTY SIX YEARS OLD PEOPLE!!!! and still oozes style and good taste. There were twelve people on stage including a phenomenal band, back-up singers and two drop dead sexay go-go dancers, it was quite the visual feast. These days many lackluster so called 'musicians' mask their live performances with lip-syncing and spectacle, so for me it was a beautiful and moving thing to witness a real artist/musician deliver such a refined, well produced performance. Oh, and folks as a bonus I discovered that he art directed KATE YOUR-SO-AWESOME-MOSS for his album cover (in true Bryan Ferry style might I add)
