It's 2013 and high time we all stop with dangerous stereotypes. Stereotyping people does nothing more than weaken our society. Our GLOBAL society. Because humans are social and we learn important lessons from one another, it's difficult to admit that what we learned from our friends and family is sometimes wrong. Dead wrong. But to keep evolving as a species, it's imperative that we put away preconceived notions once and for all.

You guys, white people can dance. 

Have a global weekend!

Housecleaning

I was doing some cleaning and discovered something. Here's the view what's on my husband's side of the bed.

And here's my side of the bed.

That's right. On his nightstand there are four family photos. On my side, a painting of me by the ever so talented Delia Brown and a lithograph by Scott Kennedy. I mean, really. Did you check this guy out?

So, it seems that a little dusting uncovered more than dust. Murray surrounds himself with a representation of love and support and surround myself with me and a lonely warrior. I gotta be honest with you, I'm not too sure I'm ready to deal with this effed up little peek behind the curtain. But until I am, feel free to call me....

The Lonely Warrior. 

HOO HAAAH!

Help Yourself

I love myself.
I am whole perfect and -
The "pain body."
I feel great at 128!
In the infinity of life where I am...
Know that there is something inside of you that is greater than any obstacle.
Specific! Measurable! Attainable! Relevant! Time-bound!
New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.

Bookmaker

It seems that re-imagining album covers has been on the mind of more than one designer these days. Perhaps it's because album covers were sweet, bite-sized artistic expressions that were in the hands of many yet provided a very personal experience - sitting alone in your room, listening to the music while staring at the cover art or reading the liner notes, hating your parents.

It's an experience that, I suppose, has been replaced with something else. Though I'm not sure what.

Of course, MP3 files are handy. But they are not visually engaging and I'm getting the feeling that the culture is trying to fill that void.

Yeah, that's a crackpot theory and if you don't like that one, got a million more.

Here's a new twist: U.K.-based graphics designer Christophe Gowans has taken albums and turned them into art. Not record art or poster art. Book art. Behold:
