i'll take this, a hot chocolate, and off we go...

too bad i lack snowboarding abilities, i blame that, ahem, on a certain someone who never had the patience to teach me. maybe i'll go with the girls this winter and learn. sigh. santa you can leave one of these chanel boards under the christmas tree. xoxo

the past is coming fast

Tracey Emin is an artist I have admired ever since I stumbled across her work at the Tate Britain in 2005. Her work reminds you that there is someone out there who perhaps feels things as deeply as you do sometimes. She currently has an exhibit at Lehman Maupin Gallery on the LES,  now until December 19th. I plan on checking it out this weekend.

i have the moon, you have the internet

it's not a miracle we needed...

Phoenix - 1901 - A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.

this album was hands down my most listened to album of the year. it was my summer soundtrack and i still love the songs when i hear them. here is a pretty neat live version of 1901. film was created by la blogotheque.

it's a shoe thing.

i hate when you see shit that is being released in other countries. this nike sb x fluff shoe is the kind of sneaker i probably would buy, wear the shit out of, and then wish i had bought another pair when they were beat to crap. so basic with a very nice and wearable colorway. its the little details that make these special. here is a cool video  to watch as well.

kris van assche is a designer whose work i have followed over the past few years. for his fall/winter 09 lookbook he commissioned italian artist andrea mastrovito to portray his designs in pencil drawings. i love his work and i think they successfully illustrate the feel of kris van assche's designs.

all the young dudes.

when i saw christian schoeler's water colours i thought to myself, man what would my paintings look like now if i still kept up with them. i guess i liked his watercolor because i manipulate the paint and water in a similar way. i like how different his paintings in oil and watercolour are, and in a way i think they have an elizabeth peyton feel to them. i also am intrigued that his subjects are primarily men/ young boys. more images after the jump.
