It's happy hour



Graphic design cocktail, sponsored by Pink Chocolate Design, takes its maiden voyage. All beverages are half price until 6pm!

Once again I am up past my bedtime, my empty blog cried out for attention and I must oblige the little dickens by typing a few lines. So to get started, let me share two of my most favorite things.

First notcot.org the coolest website around. Design, architecture, gadgets, fine art, illustration, you name it, a random collection of art related yet unexpected links that continuously update. I think I was lost for three hours the first time I visited, it's an amazing source of inspiration and reminds you how much creativity is out there. Millions of people around the world making stuff, daring to go public and share with the rest of us... the world seems vast and small at the same time.

Second, the most amazing dolls by Marina Bychkova. Beautiful yet pensive, the eyes seem filled with tears... as if they are witnessing something perfectly beautiful or the moment following when the vision has faded. They are capable of such lifelike poses it's easy to forget they are enchanted dolls and not real people. The costumes, jewelry and headpieces are so finely crafted, they are true works of art in their own right.

enjoy
