I'm sorry I haven't posted for such a long time

Flower Matango, 2001-2006, in oil paint, acrylic and fiberglass. By Takashi Murakami. Exhibited now at the MOCA (Los Angeles).

This time it's really been seriously long since I've posted: we've moved in quite a stressful manner and now we're in a state of mess since the flat's being redecorated - I guess time just flew by a bit quickly... Anyhow: I just couldn't let it turn into November without posting!

Takashi Murakami is probably best known for his collaboration with Louis Vuitton / Marc Jacobs - a collaboration that I thought was completely uninspiring... This piece above on the other hand I really thought was very magical!

Burma and (its') peaceful resistance

Read this article in today's Independent.

Burma and (its') peaceful resistance - subjects I've found profoundly important and sadingly under-reported for so long are finally being highlighted to some extent. My hope is that it will result in real change.

Galaxy of stars

I thought this image of new stars forming in the milkyway galaxy was really beautiful.

Typography wallpaper

"Typography". Wallpaper by Deborah Bowness (found via Bloesem).

As I've written before (and before and before amongst other) I have a soft spot for typography - I also really like what Deborah Bowness is trying to do with wallpaper...
So I guess that it's not too strange that I'm drawn to above, but it would be really interesting to see what it looks like in reality I think.
