Nuffield fitness centre kindly let me use their gym when I really needed a workout and a clean shower (see previous post if you wonder why “clean” is emphasized), even though I did not live in the area and thus was not a prospective member. Because I appreciated the generosity and the facilities so much, […]

Candy the collie was very protective of her favorite tree
I scored a trillion grown-up-points when I commissioned artwork. Here it is on the wall in my home office: Whenever I get lost in thought, my eyes move from the screen and over to my perfect tree. I can’t seem to get enough of this picture, tracing the lines over and over again. Never mind […]

Art for wearing
Remember I used to share whenever I found something moving or quirky online? Here’s something that’s both plus absolutely stunning. Raw, industrial works of art. Just look at this one.

Peter Rabbit
I want to share with you my childhood hero Peter Rabbit. It’s of the very predictable and safe tales that children love, where the naughty get punished, mom’s love knows no end and everyone is safe and warm in the end.

Obey Giant
Obey giant made the iconic red-blue Obama posters that are everywhere. Warning: This art will hit you in the guts. It made me snap for air. It made me whip up the colored pencils and MAKE ART NOT WAR. It made me write my first ever fan mail. This stuff is going to be on […]
