Calling forth its SPARK!

I thought I would add an inspirational quote this week at the end of the artwork to tie together issue #3's theme: People in art, people as art. We all have art in us, we just need to tap into it and allow it to flow. Have a great weekend and enjoy. ~M.

"Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark"
~ Henri Frederic Amiel

Salutations. I've chosen to keep this intro short (again) and let the art do the talking. Spread the love people, let these guys know you like there work by giving them some CRED and by posting on their blogs. *Our cover art this week comes from Tanel Reino who's digital art pieces I highly recommend (there's 3 at the bottom of this issue.)

Around the World in 10 Ads

 Here in the states we seldom get exposed to the cornucopia of persuasive creative that daily tries to convince people like you and me in other countries to buy, sell, consume, entertain, drink, lie to our girlfriends (this usually goes hand in hand with the drinking ads,) drive faster, loose weight, live healthier or trade stock. Yes, the elements are all the same, but the delivery is usually a little different. Let's see what these modern day "Mad Men" are dishing out these days to our global friends using photography, video, animation, & 3D.

Wall of Inspiration

A while ago I started what my friend coined as "the drawer of inspiration." Every time I found something I "liked" I would toss it in the old metal cabinet by by the door. Eventually that turned into a wall of inspiration made up of everything from flyers I found near the local watering hole in Hollywood to direct marketing pieces laying around the post office. Recently I found this virtual wall of inspiration while cleaning up some of my design bookmarks and I thought I would share it with you all. It turns out that the guys at Abduzeedo ...

Fashion Week Starts Today.

Just like our golfing buddies, Thursday serves as the perfect pre-weekend warm-up session for stretching those runway legs, warming up the old flash bulbs and teasing the press with this glamorous semi-annual event. Fashion Night Out (FNO) was launched by Vogue, Fashion Designers of America and NYC&Co back in 2009. If you live in Los Angeles, The Beverly Center is ground zero for this year’s festivities (starting at 5:30 for couture.)

If you cannot make it out to one of the locations featuring luxury, contemporary, and juniors, you can follow the glitz and ...

Interior Design

While PULSE!-ing around Blog-o-space on my trusty iPhone, I landed on Contemporist: An architecture and interior design blog focused on "new products and projects in the world of contemporary design." Since I already cracked open the Art as Architecture seal, I thought I would sit petty and feature some of the items that brighten our lives,starting with Noon Studio's Steel Stool.

Megan O'halloran Design has released their first collection of chairs and bar stools "drawing inspiration from the opening petals of a flower bud in a remix of art nouveau and mid-century modern styles."
