Ready to be INSPIRED?

This is a documentary YOU need to see!

WARNING: This post is going to be a little long! I've included a "jump" so be sure to click "READ MORE HERE" for the full post!

This film focuses on a group of  artists that got together and started a huge movement in the the art world during 1990's and beyond. They drew a great amount of  influence from punk lifestyle & music, skateboarding, and street art (esp. graffiti). These artists are beyond innovative, influential, and SO talented. Many of them have changed the way people view street art and art in general. All of them seem to have so many different areas of expertise and I LOVE that because sometimes I feel like I am all over the place (blythe customizing, illustrating, painting, crafting, miniatures, etc.). They make me feel OK about it, lol. 

I've listed all of the beautiful "losers" below...if you have time, google some of them and check out their work. As you search, you'll probably realize that you've already seen a lot of the graphic art and ads that some of them have done. I have heard of quite of few of these artists before I saw the film, but seeing it all put together  is quite an experience. The film makes you realize just how powerful a small group of creative, indie-minded people can be. 

Aaron Rose - film director, independent art curator, writer + more. He's the guy who opened the gallery (Alleged) and featured a lot of these artists work. He's done a lot in the art world and is still doing a lot but it's too much for me to type so look him up!

Thomas Campbell - painter, sculpter, photographer, and filmmaker


Ed Templeton - ex pro skater, artist, photographer

Not A Very Musical Monday...

I've been ill, sue me ;) I haven't had time to search around for any new music :P I have totally missed blogging! Ever since Spring started I've battled and on again off again sinus/allergy issues and the last few weeks have been hell. So sorry for the lack of posts but I just didn't feel up to it. But now I am feeling better and a lot less mucousy so I am going to try and get back on track with blogging this week! So let's start this week of with a big dose of positivity! Here are a few pics to inspire you to stay happy, k?

Mondays are the perfect day to start fresh and be happy!

Begin your week with a great big smile :D

Foodie Love: Pink Stripes Rules.

1. Pound Cake 2. Homemade Avocado Ice Cream 3. Grilled Avocado 4. Homemade Bagels 5. Sweet Corn & Edamame Salad 5. Chewy Peanut Butter Cookie & Homemade Cinnamon-Honey Ice Cream Sandwiches...What's not to love?

I came across this blog a few months ago and I'm sad to say I kind of forgot about it...which is totally my fault as I read way too many blogs! Today, I was going through my Tasty Blog Roll to visit sites I haven't been to in a while and I'm so glad I did! It reminded me of Wendy from Pink Stripes. I just had to make a little foodie board to show off the amazingly yummy looking food on this blog. PS is an AMAZING foodie blog full of beautiful photos and all kinds of scrumtious recipes. The recipes run the gamut from savory to sweet to the rather unusual (um, avocado ice cream anyone?)...but you'll love to look at everything. If you're into food photography, this is the site for you. The photos make you feel like you can reach your fork out and take a bite. It's highly inspirational to say the least!

So if you have a minute (or an hour) to browse Pink Stripes, do it! You won't regret it...well I take that back. You may regret it because you'll be SUPER hungry when you're done, LOL.
