Dane Cook airbrushed within an inch of his life

I found this a while back, on PhotoshopDisasters. It's a hilarious rant by Dane Cook, about the poster for his movie "My Best Friend's Girl". Just one look at this poster, and you can tell there are so many things wrong with it. I went for a double feature yesterday, and this movie was one of them. I still laugh every time I see the poster. Seriously, read the rant, it's funny. On a side note, Kate Hudson is always a sure bet to cast in Girly Movies. I loved her in "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days". It might be time to watch that movie again.

Licking icicles

I got it! Andy Goldsworthy! Andy works with natural materials like ice, sticks, leaves, rocks and dirt. For the most part his artwork is assembled with natural materials like thorns and even saliva (used for the ice star shown here). There are many books out featuring his artworks, and the one that I had the opportunity to flip through was titled "Wood". There is also a documentary that I am hoping to watch called "Rivers and Tides". View a clip here. I laughed at the end of this clip when he says "I am so amazed that I am even alive". I know when I lose a day worth of work (computer crash, lost notes, etc), my sentiments are a little different, and often involve cursing profusely.

Green Graffiti

Fall is my most favorite season. I love everything about it, especially the focus on nature. When I recently came across two artists who utilize natural elements in their works, i got really excited. The first artist that I would like to share with you is Anna Garforth. I love the concept of her "Moss Graffiti"! The piece shown here is titled "Mossenger". She is also featured on the site Environmental Graffiti. 

I will post about the other artist as soon as I can remember his name (watch for this one soon).

beach life

I am back from a wonderful week in Hawaii. We spent our week on the island of Oahu. If you are planning a trip there, feel free to contact me. I would love to share with you my insight into "things to do" on the island!

I tried surfing for the second time, and it is the hardest workout I have done in a long time, but I would totally love to do it as a hobby. I have also decided that the surfboard in the middle, is the one that I would own if I lived in Hawaii. Too bad we don't have much ocean around these here parts!

I love the illustration of Mike Lowery so much! You can share my love here, here, and here.

Speaking of Zooey Deschanel

Amber mentioned in the comments on my last post about Katy Perry, that she looks like Zooey Deschanel. I agree, and that reminded me that Zooey has some music out of her own, that is quite good. More sampling of she & him on myspace! You may remember Zooey's singing voice from when she was in Elf!
