They Draw and Cook
They Draw and Cook is a wonderful blog (and one day book) where artistically inclined people can send in illustrations of recipes. Kids Draw and Cook is pretty cute too.
I am so doing this.

An Occasional Dose of Abstract Art in Your Twitter Stream.
It’s no secret that I’ve taken to twitter in a way that I never thought I would, which is to say, at all. I used to describe my relationship with twitter as love/hate but ever since I moved to Stockholm, it’s all love baby! As useful as I find it for staying connected and up to date with my designer friends and the graphic design world as a whole, I_I__I_I will always be one of my favorite people to follow.

Amanda Wachob Tattoos
Amanda Wachob’s painterly tattoo style makes me want a tattoo. And I thought if there was one thing I knew it was that I had no interest in having a tattoo. Check out her portfolio for more lovely work.

Franz West Uncle Chairs
Love these Uncle Chairs by Frank West, made out of industrial plastic strapping. I would love even more to try to make my own, seems doable no?

Walking Men 99 by Maya Barkai
I love Maya Barkai’s Walking Men 99. A block-spanning installation at 99 Church St in Brooklyn, as part of Downtown Alliance’s Re:Construction Public Art Program which seeks to beautify stalled construction.

Kim Bost, Pencil Factory & Jessica Hische
I love this personal piece by Kim Bost. I came across it in The Pencil Factory’s illustration-newsprint spectacular which I was graciously given a copy of by my studiomate Jessica Hische, who is also featured in it.

Food for Thought
“Trying to depict everything is a fool’s game, and ultimately not that interesting—because it’s just as confusing and complicated as life. So then the task becomes limiting your scope, and within a limited scope providing amazing complexity and depth. That’s this process of ‘lens making’: coming up with a lens that you can point at all of reality but that only lets through certain things. That process is digital storytelling. It’s a process of exclusion—not a process of mimicry.”
