The Darjeeling Limited.

Tonight I went to a promotional screening of the new Wes Anderson film The Darjeeling Limited. Wow. By far the most beautiful Wes Anderson film I've seen yet, and that's a lot coming from me considering I absolutely love The Life Aquatic. His color palette just makes my eyes smile. When I first heard about this movie several months ago I was disappointed to see that Bill Murray was not on the cast list. How could there be a Wes Anderson film without the great Bill Murray? But fear not my friends, he does make an appearance. Amazing soundtrack, as always. Wonderful story. Brilliant characters. I can't wait until I can watch it again. An absolute must see.

The Big Animal.

It's been a while since I've seen a film quite so delightful.

Stuart Haygarth.

One of my most favorite things to do is go to the beach and collect tiny pieces of sea glass and other random trinkets that have washed up.

Stuart Haygarth has taken my obcession a step further with "Tide Chandelier" and his other creations.

Mike Perry.

It makes me want to go home and color all over my walls.

Miroslav Sasek.

Miroslav Sasek's children's books are some of the most delightful things I've come across in a long time. While these were all originally published in the late 50's and early 60's, they're slowly being reissued.

Jen Corace.

I haven't updated recently. Mostly because of the stress of moving and starting school all at once. Today I went to an Anthropologie store for the first time and after I was done drooling over everything I realized that I was not only feeling incredibly inspired but also that I had come to the conclusion that I wanted to create things for children for the rest of my life. They had a good sized section of items for children there: books, toys, cups, etc. and it all left me with a very good feeling inside. Something that made me really excited. So from now on I'm going to push for that in my work. One of my current favorite children's book illustrators is Jen Corace. She worked on an amazing book called Little Pea that I absolutely love. I wanted to share some of her images here.
