i'm in love with eugene andolsek. born in 1921, andolsek didn't start drawing until the 1950s when he needed an escape from a job that he didn't like as a stenographer for the railroad. in the evenings he would compose his drawings at his kitchen table, and with some graph paper, a compass and a straight edge, he created these incredibly intricate works of art. during his life he never considered himself an artist, but i think that these pieces prove otherwise. see more of his work at the american primitive gallery here.
now that my hair is finally longer, i'd like to start actually doing something with it, and i'm loving all the loose asymmetrical braids that i'm seeing out there. it's such an easy and stylish way of looking put together but without being too fussy. the only question is, how do i do this to myself?
i really, really, really feel like i should be riding this right now. horse bike by eungi kim.
the always amazing house industries and the timeless mid-century potter heath ceramics have teamed up to create the superpower that is: heath house numbers. these incredible tiles showcase the neutra and eames fonts that house is so well known for, and in turn the shapes of the numbers are the perfect vehicle to highlight the bright color and beautiful craftsmanship of the tile. i feel like buying a house just so i have something to put these on. available tomorrow here.
the huttenpalast hotel in berlin is right up my alley - or rather, campsite. an old vacuum-factory has been ingeniously renovated into an open-air style hotel with a series of caravans that you can rent for the night. each one is unique and they all look cozy. apparently the concept is designed for budget accommodations, but i'm pretty sure i would still want to stay here even if i had a ton of money to drop. seriously, how amazing is this place? in the words of liz lemon - "i want to go to there." see more here.
