i’m getting the strange feeling that overblown fullscreen portfolio sites are coming back. i wish they wouldn’t, but it seems that common is sense is in the thralls of being trumped by bombast. full screen flash still feels very 2000 to me, especially when the content doesn't justify the real estate. still, considering this kid started up dior homme, i suppose eccentricity is in his veins.

most of miss aniela's work has to do with herself, and who can blame her? write what you know they used to say in film school and so it's nice to see someone be both behind and in front of the camera, exploring her own psyche which, apparently, is filled with herself. nice. for the therapist.

there once was a time when, believe it or not, i was stupid. i remember approaching design thinking that you either had it or you didnt. i viewed it as something that the super stars were born with, and there was nothing to really “learn” about presenting our ideas visually. god, i was so stupid. fuck thats embarrassing. anywho, this right here is probably the most complete and thorough compilation of design lessons available. check it out.

id magazine got 6 designers to design a space or place that they think would be a spot for one to loose their virginity. myself, i would have just sketched my room.

behance seems like a really good idea. showing creative people how to channel their energies for success through insights and tips and examples from very interesting people. i totally need that shit.

what is not in dispute is the fact that ms. miranda whall has talent aplenty. i actually first dicovered her work through a series of amazing photographic series named peak days in which the world is upside down. but then i started to discover her paintings and collages and then i know that there was more than talent there, there's brilliance. she describes her ladybird series, part of which is the picture on top, as presenting autoerotic self-portraits coupled with birds perched on her head, rear or feet. rendered in a style familiar from the ornithologist’s reference book, each bird is accompanied by its corresponding song: black-cap, goldfinch, robin, stone-chat, wheat-ear, white-throat, bramling. whilst they chirp away the artist almost routinely attempts to satisfy herself with a man-made device. each is preoccupied with their own world and seemingly oblivious to the activity of the other...

that's right, it's her with the birds, and i couldn't love it more if i tried. madness has often accompanied genius, a notion comfirmed again here. love it!

close your eyes. imagine spiderman fighting doctor octopus in front of a grand chorus line. imagine peter parker expressing his love for mary jane through the great gift of song. imagine bernadette peters running around. imagine where the streets have no name playing in the background, only the lyrics have been changed to pertain to radioactive spiders and the troubles of being a teenage super hero with arachnid genitals. imagine . . . NO MORE!
