Here's a thing. My New York Times-loving husband found this in tomorrow's Sunday Magazine online (you can read the article here). Artist Shea Hembrey made up his own Biennial, including 100 artists. Each artist has a body of work, a history, and an artist's statement. Hembrey created this whole work of art in two years! His patron is author Elizabeth Gilbert. You just have to invest the time to read the article and go over here and look at his TED talk (it gets better after the squirrel brains and the BB gun). I can't decide whether or not it's pure comedy or genius...probably both. One thing is for sure, it's about someone with a lot of energy and imagination.

The Makers Project

It was time to revisit The Makers Project, Jennifer Causey's beautiful photo project to document people who make things in Brooklyn, NY. I think her photographs are the best. I love her casual, natural approach and her composing eye. I've chosen food related photos here because, well, 'tis the season. But check out all the makers!

I love cardboard! Here are a couple of artists I found who are using it beautifully. Nina Lindgren made the vertical village (top image). You can see more of her work here. All the rest of the images are the work of Andre da Loba, found through Beautiful Decay. His website is here. The whimsy, the humor, the color, the inventiveness! I'll never give up another cardboard box again.
