Wow, I’m floored by the dulcet tones of Argentina’s Juana Molina. Abstract layers of sounds, breathy vocals, and meandering melodies. If you like the Books or Bjork, this will definitely suit.

Today, Chad pointed me in the direction of Julia Rothman’s newest project, these delectable wallpapers for Hygge & West. I love them all.
Visual Evasion
Man I wish my French was better, because this blog showcases some really top-notch work. I love this typographic series with a little bit of everything gathered from typography’s newest online resource.
Anthropomorphic Objects
I’ve heard people talk about certain objects that have certain anthropomorphic tendencies for them, like the Pixar Lamp for example. I feel this way about about clocks, vintage oscillating fans (Mitch Hedgeburg: I have an oscillating fan at my house. It goes back and forth. It looks like the fan is saying “no.” So I like to ask it questions that a fan would say “no” to! Do you keep my hair in place? Do you keep my documents in order? Do you have 3 settings? LIAR! My fan lied to me. Now I will pull the pin up. Now you ain’t saying sh*t!). Also old radios, and oddly, shopping carts. I got this idea from Graphic Hug and then I ran a search on flickr & came up with some images. Let’s caption them, shall we?
“Fine! Be that way.
Ok, FINE, I will!”
“Door #1 or Door #2?”
“I can’t believe Johnson finally made a break for it…”
Anyone else have any more caption ideas?
