Happy Thanksgiving

Some silly clip art by John Coulter (any relation to Ann? Hope not.)

Look behind you lil pilgrim!

Sol Lewitt Retrospective Now Through 2033

But we'll probably still miss the show at Mass MoCA. Melinda has seen and worked with many Sol Lewitt walldrawings and other artworks, but this happens to be her fave. It's millions of crayon scribbles directly on the wall. You hardly notice it's there until you're right up on it.

What's so amazing about Lewitt's work is that he doesn't actually make it himself; he gives his assistants written instructions and they execute. It's quite a process especially when it comes to a HUGE walldrawing. This one is Wall Drawing 95. Oh yeah, they're all numbered instead of titled.

Charcoal for the boudoir

This is the future wall color of our bedroom. It's a pic from NYTimes Home & Garden section today and it's just what we're looking for. What an awesome kitchen!

Bikram Choudhury

Thinking of Bikram today.

Here he is standing on someone's back.

Couch in Seattle, WA

We never realized how much fun it would be to match sofas with their owners but that's exactly what Couch does on its website. This is our friend Megan's new sectional, though unfortunately she is not with her new sofa. Their prices are truly amazing for custom furniture.

Current Elliott Jeans

Loving Current Elliott jeans right now. This is the cropped Boyfriend but the Bootcut and every single jacket are amazingly cute.

Lucky Jackson

Happy Wanderers by Lucky Jackson. After reading NYTimes terrible review of Lower East Side galleries, we needed a breath of fresh art air. Something a little less establishment.

Buddhist Temple Made of Beer Bottles

It's kind of beautiful, too.
Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew temple in Thailand.

Jorg and Olif Accessories

A tad expensive but SO cute on the Jorg & Olif bike below or Melinda's vintage Schwinn Speedster aka Penny.

BTW, credit is given to Megan Johnston for passing along J&O bikes!

Jorg and Olif Bikes

Love the Scout Oma by Jorg & Olif.
Their bike accessories are bitchin too.
We'll upload some of our faves later.
Off to Dallas now for Running Event!

William Eggleston

Tennessee Photographer William Eggleston has a retrospective at the Whitney Museum. His photos truly capture the Southern aesthetic. Untitled 1973 above.

Banksy Stateside

Chicken Nuggets by Banksy on Flux.net
UK street artist Banksy had an installation down in the Village in NYC.
Go to Flux.net to see the rest of it.
The Fox News billboard/wall drawing he did is great.

ReadyMade Backyard Studio

Yep. ReadyMade Mag has plans and everything for a backyard studio perfect for guests or work or yoga or meditation or . . . the options are limitless. You can buy the plans for this little guy on their website but they say that it's a little advanced so paying a contractor might be wise. Materials run about $1,500.

Baumraum = German for Treehouse

These treehouses are such a cool thing. They are one option for big backyard/small house, which we have. We want more space and wouldn't a separate building be nice? We want a prefab of some sort, but the Baumraum may be a bit elaborate. Michelle Kaufman is one of our fave prefab builders but tres $$$. Maybe a Weehouse would be more our price range? Not likely. We may have to strike out on our own. I think Readymade has building plans for one.

DIY Yoga Mat Bag

Yoga Journal posted this really easy pattern to make your own mat bag. We'll try it soon & post the results.

Andreas Gursky - Yet Another Cool Show

Hamm, Bergwerk Ost by Andreas Gursky

German artist Andreas Gursky has another show of his GIGANTIC photos at Matthew Marks Gallery in NYC. This one is of a coal mine near his home. The stuff you see hanging above is how the miners store their clothes while they're working.

Charleston, SC

Where we are spending Christmas.

Happy Halloween!
