so bright, hole of white, temporal singularity

funny how the future looks so much like the past... as if all there ever was, is now... wearable tao. perfectly represented here by the craft of greek-australian tina kalivas, whose work experience includes alexander mcqueen's seamstress and baz lurhmann's costumer. her 2009 collection "polyrhythms" weaves together multiple threads of time, perfectly harmonizing the past, present, and future.

perpetual paper cuts

"cut cut cut all day long, cut cut cut while i sing this song" chants charles clary pasting paper layer after layer, paper slayer, slaving by scissor, crafting worlds of an intimate scale...

convergence point

"before i begin a painting, i do not know how to paint it. while i am in the process of creating a painting, i do not know what it will become. when i finish a painting, then i know. i use painting in order to know." -guo fengyi (1942 - )

after studying qigong in order to alleviate illness, guo fengyi was inspired to share visions of energy systems and mythical deities as her studies into mysticism and divination deepened. the convergence point between spirit and matter... art in the purest sense.

moving forward by looking back

i love charlotte gainsbourg dressed in balenciaga for AnOther magazine's autumn/winter 09 editorial "a decade in style"... as tribute to the first decade of fashion in the new millennium, it features 28 influential designers and 28 influential women who have so far fashioned the 21st century. photographed by craig mcdean and hedi slimane, its a must see...

post meridiem

really digging cheap monday's autumn 2009 collection... minimal and graphic, awesome tees and silhouettes, anything that looks like you wear your boyfriends wardrobe is mad decent imo. even better... you should see the mens line! snagged me a piece for my b-day and couldn't be happier.

just another day in paradise

bites of life,
greek delights,
isn't it funny,
this feeling inside?
riding a timeline,
that i decide,
in another life,
not of linear time,
that fuzzy divide,
blurring the line,
between morning and night,
dark and light,
flee and fight,
others and i...

we had divine sense, to know what to say

doomsday = reunion with god

in the spirit of scratching backs... im super psyched about the spring 2010 collection "infinity's beginning" from gods prey, the creative outlet of sean reveron and meghan macrae of rockers nyc. these are just some of my faves...

the sound of color vibrates spirit into matter

some of the most famous paintings by czech artist františek kupka (1871-1957), considered the first abstract painter, are being put on display for the first time in spain from november 28th through january 24th, 2010 at the respective foundation for fellow abstract artist joan miró in barcelona.

flinstones meet the jetsons, via the mystery machine

welcome to the funtastic world of hanna-barbera! the spring 2010 collection from giles deacon is too dam fun to pass up. retro and futuristic, spiders, scorpions, dinosaurs (oh my!), not to mention metallic, neon, and the creeps. giles turns the spooks into a wearable aesthetic that is both cool and cute... do you scooby-doo? i want to.

torsion physics

no, this is not another bubble chamber tattoo... its a surface shot of planet mars depicting the pathways of martian dust devils. apparently the natural phenomena has been credited with cleaning rover solar panels. or have they... i've heard other stories.

the only constant in life is change

light years away and only plancks apart

exciting times,
keep your eye on this prize,
of human ingenuity channeling nature's native facility,
deeper we go,
down the exponential rabbit hole,
a spiral tightening toward infinity,
a sea of waving probability,
a field of fractal relativity,
novelty producing and conserving body,
together,
glimpsing all eternity...
