Gorgeous Animation

Busy, busy, busy. The weather is wonderful. A lot of lovely parties. And loads to do. But when I stopped a minute doing all the things I have to, I saw this amazing animation by Danny Roberts. We love his work. A little something to watch while you wait for us to post new things. ;)

Stupid Fox!

Yesterday I found an amazing cartoon on DeviantArt! It's called Stupid Fox and is made by http://silentreaper.deviantart.com/! 

Here are a few cartoons of this little fox! ^^.

I think she is amazingly talented and I hope to see a lot more of her soon!

Wall Art by Night Owl Creations

Simply beautiful.

A few weeks ago I came across this Etsy Shop. She makes such amazing paintings. They're very simple, but that is probably what makes them beautiful. I absolutely love them. Here are my favourites:

Book Covers

Remember the Album covers? Weren't they lovely?
I went through my collection of books and I selected the prettiest ones. I know you can't judge a book by it's cover. But you can judge the cover.

Blue is definetely my favourite colour. I love the little drawings in the different shades of blue. I got this little book from my little sister. I immediately fell in love with the cover. It's so cute. And after reading it, I can say I love the content too. The book is filled with little fairytales.Do you know 'Wreck my Journal'? You should! It's an amazing way to explore different things and simply be creative. But it's about the cover here. I love the simple look of it. The tape is a funny detail. It isn't pretty or anything. It looks like something you could have done yourself. In this case, that's a good thing!Fleur got me this lovely book. She went to New York and visisted an exposition about paper. The book is filled with little papercuttings like the one on the cover. Isn't it amazing? Thank you Fleur!I bought this book last week. It's a modern cover with sweet colours and details. It's also a lovely story. But that's not what this article is about.This is a special book. Not only the cover is a quite interesting drawing, the whole book is filled with drawings. The drawings tell the story. I love how the cover really represents the mood of the book. I have a little weakness for drawn covers. ^^

Do you know any pretty bookcovers?

Ps. I'll ask Fleur to do her H&M Wishlist tomorrow.. I'd love to see what she found.

dA Special Artist: TheCullensFamily

As you know, both Karin and I are huges fans of DeviantArt,
And recently I found this amazing artist!

TheCullensFamily

And I know there a lot of artists who are drawing Edward and his family and friends, but this was the first one I found and I was amazed by her art!

What do you think? :)

DIY 2010

DIY ToDoList 2010

2010 is going to be a year full of stress and changes. I'll have my exams and hopefully graduate. I'm going to move out of my parents house and start studying biology. I'm very excited, but also a little scared. Beside all of that I want to be creative and do fun things. So that's why I made this list. I got this idea from A Beautiful Mess. She made a DIY to do list. And so did I. A few DIY projects that I will do in 2010. I won't have time for it, but I'll make time for it, because it's amazing to do. And you'll hear all about it.

Make a piece of clothing. From scratch. Not that I've done this before. But I will.Make a collection of all the amazing recipes I tried. Nicely put together in a book.

Try out a huge part of my dad's old camera collection. Including polaroidcamera's. Can't wait.

Get creative with these bags. Add prints/fabrics/buttons/texts. (Not all at once of course.)

Make a huge painting. Something that isn't finished in a few seconds. Maybe a wallpainting. Or on a big canvas. I've always wanted to do that.Photograph and photograph and photograph. And do a lot of shoots together with Fleur. This photo is the result of one of our previous ones. Try new things, be creative and learn.

Make a video. It could be drawn, a music video, a stop motion. Who knows? I always wanted to do that. Look at these amazing little videos. Love them.

Wish me luck!

Happier than a Bird with a French Fry

I love this drawing. It really made my day.

Album Art 2

About 2 months ago, we posted a little piece about Album Art. Sometimes the most beautiful things are found on places you don't really look. You buy a cd to listen to the music. But all those album covers are little pieces of art. And they really deserve some attention. Just like last time, I found six album covers I really liked.

Which one do you like best?

Do you have any suggestions?

Monet in a Dress

One particular dress really caught my eye when I watched an episode of Project Runway. The contestants had to use inspiration from a museum in LA and Gordana, one of the contestants, chose a wonderful painting from Monet. I love the dress she made. It's so beautiful. She really took the painting and made it into a dress. Just wanted to share.

Have a nice weekend!

A Thousand Reasons to Smile.

Just a tiny little something for today. I found this picture when I was searching for a photo. I took it in a museum in Copenhagen, Danmark. The whole exhibition was spread over several rooms, each room with a different colour. The combination of those empty frames and the soft pink really turned out amazing. Although I didn't shot this photo recently, I wanted to include it in 'A Thousand Reasons to Smile'. It made me smile when I saw it again.

Stina Persson & Replay

I always liked the art of Stina Persson. Ever since one of my friends told me about her, I followed her amazing work. So I was surprised when I saw a few of my favourite artworks in a commercial on television. Replay used it in a commercial for a fragance. I love it. It's so inspiring and colourful. Just watch it!

Album Art

Finally, a new post. Just a little something. Sometimes an idea appears into your mind and you have absolutely no idea where it came from. At least that's what happens in my mind. Of course it must have come from somewhere and it probably was a reaction to a song I was listening or something. Anyway, you couldn't care less care about my stupid ideas and huge explanations. So I'll just show you. There are the most amazing album covers. Little pieces of art who everybody can see, but normally don't really care about. I found six I really liked. Here you go:

What's your favourite album? Please tell me!
