I have to admit, I have been struggling finding topics lately. I think most of that has been coming from a few life distractions. My mind has been so focused on job applications, its about all I do when I open up my MacBook lately. Man, I want to move incredibly bad. The sooner the better!
With that said, I forgot how much stuff I used to bookmark before I actually started blogging. I was a blog lurker for quite sometime before I started my own little pride and joy. I came across this page and I am shocked I have not shared this before! Let me tell you, I was obsessed with this page after I found it.
For the record, I have never been a big fan of the all too permanent body art. I don’t think I would ever get a tattoo if you paid me, but if this lady wanted to color me up I might have to reconsider that statement.
How gorgeous are these?
Incredible. It sort of brings a whole new meaning to the term “body art.” All I can say is, I like it.
What do you think? To tattoo or not to tattoo, that is the question?
The Hubs and I just bought some new DVD storage and I found a gem I totally forgot I had.
Ahh. Don’t you just love the concept of the intro. It gets me every time.
I was obsessed with this mini-series when it first debut on HBO in 2003. My Dad and I were super into it, and we never missed a Sunday night episode. I was totally disheveled when they announced they weren’t bringing it back for a third season (that is the catch here people!). Any who, I NEED to tell you about it.
“1934, America. The Dustbowl. A fugitive named Ben Hawkins finds refuge within a traveling carnival comprised of a tarot card reader and her catatonic/telekinetic mother, a blind mentalist, a bearded lady, and conjoined twins, amongst others. The carnival is owned by the mysterious and unseen Management, who has designs on the young Hawkins, for the boy is concealing an untapped gift: he can heal the lame and raise the dead–at a price. Ben also finds himself disturbed by cryptic and prophetic dreams, which he shares with a Methodist preacher in California, Brother Justin Crowe. Brother Justin, convinced by his dreams he is following God’s will, has begun to practice his own extraordinary talents, although the preacher’s plans increasingly lead to disturbing and tragic consequences. In this “last great age of magic,” Ben Hawkins and Justin Crowe are moving toward a great conflict between Good and Evil, although it not yet clear on which sides these men will stand. ”
If you do decide to watch I will warn you, be prepared for a lot of weird, but good weird, need to see more weird.
The styling of this series is flawless. I believe that is why they eventually had to cut the series, the production was just too expensive.
So before I get to rambling just way too much, Netflix this bad boy. Or go here and here to purchase. You will not regret it. I highly recommend it! In fact the Hub’s has never seen it, we might need a snow day to bury in and do the damn thing!
Let me know what you think! I would love to know if anyone else likes this kind of stuff too, any and all opinions are welcome!
I am jealous of anyone that can execute hand drawn type in a non five year old kind of way. OK, I suck at it, so I am just in awe when people take letter forms to a whole new level. This Chica is kind of insane, but I can’t stop looking at her work!
All in chalk my friends, all in chalk. I know that just makes it even more amazing doesn’t it? Dana Tanamachi is one heck of a talent. And you should see her other work. Not only does she have this skill, but she is one heck of a graphic designer. Sort of makes you wonder how you missed that talent train doesn’t it?
“During the Great Depression, U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt employed artists across the country through the Works Progress Administration. The WPA and its subordinate projects such as the Federal Theatre Project and Federal Arts Project embarked on a campaign of education, entertainment and art that brought the arts to people ways unprecedented in America, before and since.” -Roosevelvet
Plain and simple. I like the prints. I am into the inspiration. I want to research it some more. Find anything? Drop me a line.
