Felix in Exile

I saw this last video semester in my Art Today history class. I thought this was a beautiful film. The medium and technique that Kentridge uses gives this piece a whole different dimension. He creates a drawing and then makes erasures and changes, and then films it again. He continues this process and gives each change in the drawing a quarter of a second to two seconds' screen time.


William Kentridge is just one of the artists that will be featured at the MoMA (also Monet's Water Lilies, Tim Burton, Irving Penn, and The New Typography exhibit!!!!) when Teresa and I go for our birthdays in March!

AHhhh!!! I'm so excited! :-D

Sour Sally

http://www.hellosoursally.com/

I think this is probably my favorite website I've ever found.
I love the colors, the illustration, the music, and how interactive the site is.
If ever I'm in Indonesia, I'm totally checking this place out.

Untitled

Oh Laura is the face in the misty light
Footsteps that you hear down the hall
The laugh that floats on a summer night
That you can never quite recall
And you see Laura on a train that is passing through
Those eyes how familiar they seem

She gave her very first kiss to you

That was Laura...

But she's not the same anymore.

Typography Addiction

My advanced type class is so inspiring. TONS of work, but the things we find and look
at are usually beautiful and interesting. I saw this designers work yesterday in a book
and had to find more of Jo Ratcliffe:







and then I found her website:












I must say, most of her work is a little too dark and risque for my liking, however,
the remnant is delightfully inspiring to me.
