<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">photo by Nirvan Mullick</span></div>
<br />
I just watched <a href="http://www.nirvan.com/" target="_blank">Nirvan Mullick</a>'s short film on 9 year old Caine and his DIY arcade. It is so inspiring and sweet and fun, especially seeing Caine's reaction to a flashmob lining up outside his LA arcade (built within his dad's auto parts shop). I cannot wait to get back down to LA and go play some games.<br />
<br />
This film really struck me for a few reasons. Primarily, I think it resonates with so many of us and our own childhood dreams and wild imaginations. Caine is incredibly creative with great problem solving skills (he made his own claw machine!) and maybe the very best is a supportive dad and growing community. Simply put, Caine is a super cool kid. See for yourself!<br />

<br />
<br />
You can learn more about Caine, the arcade hours and location as well as donate to Caine's college fund <a href="http://cainesarcade.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a>. Imagine what this kid could do with an engineering degree! You can also find out more on the Caine's Arcade <a href="http://www.facebook.com/cainesarcade" target="_blank">facebook page</a>.<br />
<br />
** Update** Since posting this early this morning, thousands and thousands of people have fallen for Caine and his arcade. His college fund has already come up to $56,000! What is most inspiring to me about this is how a small film and one imaginative kid can stir the enthusiasm and generosity of thousands of people. If only all budding young artists could have such a global community cheering them on. </div>vanessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01631038426168307360noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594159381145015744.post-83190451131327874192012-04-03T23:11:00.001-07:002012-04-03T23:59:59.133-07:00THINGS I LIKE: Ian Ruhter<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ian Ruhter's artwork takes the wet plate collodian process (a photographic technique developed in the 1850s) to another level. He spent his life savings transforming a delivery truck into a massive camera and, using the collodian process, is able to capture images onto large coated and sensitized plates. He develops them on the spot as there are only about 15 minutes before the plate dries. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Below are some beautiful images from his <i>Foursquare Wet Cellodian Project, </i>with a spectrum of landscapes, skateboarders and snowboarders,<i> </i>and an awesome video below for a much clearer explanation of his process, as well as some real inspiration. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am in the midst of a new illustration project that has me researching everything from sloths to Hmong Hill Tribe fabrics. My brain is having a blast! I was recently looking for some traditional Dutch textile patterns to incorporate into my drawings and I came across these beautiful antique samplers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Darning Samplers were prevalent in the Netherlands in the late 18th and early 19th century as sewing was a vital skill for 12 - 17 year old girls to learn. Young girls were taught how to embroider by their mothers as well as in school. Working as a linen seamstress could provide a steady living for these young women and their families. It was especially important for the girls in orphanages to master these skills so they would have an occupation to support themselves upon leaving the home. The training was so serious that these darning samplers were considered a sort of final exam in the orphanages. Because of the bright thread used to show the stitches and craftsmanship more clearly, the patterns and layers of color make beautiful combinations!</span><br />

That's how I feel about </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson. To put it simply, he's a super cool dude. He is the Director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Rose Center for Earth and Space, has been hosting <i>Nova scienceNOW</i> on PBS since 2006, and is a regular guest on the <i>Daily Show</i>, <i>Colbert Report</i> and <i>Real Time with Bill Maher</i>, breaking down crazy science for the rest of us! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He was asked in an interview with TIME magazine in 2008, "What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?" This was his answer.</span><br />

I am so excited for this movie to come out. I feel like Wes Anderson and I live in the same little world. I love his aesthetic, his humor, his color palette, his art direction, his casting- I could go on. It's all too perfect. His last movie, Fantastic Mr Fox, was a mix of three of my very favorite things, stop-motion animation, Roald Dahl, and foxes. Thank you, Wes! This time around we have a camping and scouting adventure!<br />

Hello there, new favorite movie!<br />

You can find all the DIY instructions <a href="http://www.womansday.com/Articles/Life/Holidays/10-Easy-to-Make-Kids-Costumes.html">here</a> for this and other costumes I worked on with my partner in craft, Kristine Trevino. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I just spent the past two months packing up my eight years of living in Brooklyn, NY and drove across the country with my fiance and our dog (in a car packed to the brim with camping gear, computers, water jugs and vegan snacks - to survive Middle America). We camped our way across the nation and just moved into our new home in Portland, Oregon. More on that later.<br />
<br />
The road trip itself was an adventure. We saw old ghost towns with incredible signage, beautiful vistas, and lots of novelty statues (including the World's Largest Bison and a big mouse gnawing on a wedge of cheese - Wisconsin of course). The greatest surprise along our way was along a long stretch of Highway I-94 in North Dakota (near Regent, ND). We came upon the World's Largest Scrap Metal Sculpture (according to Guiness). It was striking to see it coming up in the distance and really beautiful up close. There is a series of them along the Enchanted Highway but this one is called 'Geese in Flight'. I was really taken by it, especially when it looms overhead as you walk around it. Seeing a few random bolts and scraps of metal on the ground wasn't the greatest feeling but we made it out okay! I wish we could have seen the rest of the Enchanted Highway but we had the Oregon Trail ahead of us!<br />

Mine are Ecoline watercolor inks and Daler Rowney Acrylic Artists ink with the teeny-tiniest pen nibs I can find!<br />

I did some light detective work (aka google) today and found the pianist behind it, Maxence Cyrin. This Frenchman makes his covers even more beautiful by pairing them with utterly perfect film footage. Here are the two I was most taken with. For more of his work, you can go <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/maxencecyrin">here</a>. Enjoy! <br />

It was pretty stunning! </div><div><br />
