Take 6 minutes and 42 seconds out of your day to be inspired by these industrial artists / restauranteurs / punk rockers whose high-low design innovations are inciting greatness and mayhem all at once.

While trolling through one of the blackest holes on the internet (that would be amazon.com), I came upon the work of Lilli Carré, a young cartoonist with hauntingly beautiful work. I originally judged her books by their covers (rightfully so, pretty as they are) and tagged a few for Lucy. Then I found my way over to her site, where I soon realized this ain’t no literature for youths. Well, not yet, anyway…
Excerpt from “Tales of Woodsman Pete”
While I’ll hold off on sarcastic comics for the tween age, I myself was inspired by her work, including her “moving drawings” and the Eyeworks Festival she co-directs with Alexander Stewart, exploring old and new forms of experimental animation. Check out her site, tumblr, and/or blog for more, because this artist is on the rise, kids.

Make things fun and people will spread the word. Besides, who doesn’t like baby animals? Small versions of larger things are always adorable. Always. [Found via Jenn Ski]

A classic song for a sophisticated feline.
Have a great weekend!

Leave a commentCheck out this cute paper-doll stop-motion video for the new book Oliver + S has coming out later this month. It’s old-fashioned charm meets crisp modern fashion for kids – with some fun patterns for children, including tutus, backpacks, capes, and vests.
Leave a commentI believe in living a sustainable life, which is why I recycle. And this Black Keys video posted by Brennan Gilbert was too good not recycle as a post of my own (a little eco-friendly humor for you – you’re welcome). Remember when I posted his action figure packaging? Well, his blog is just as frickin’ awesome. I’ve been following ever since and it combines the perfect mixture of sarcasm and creativity in every post. Read it.

Leave a commentFunny or Die recently released a new spoof on the oddly classic Bing Crosby and David Bowie duet, “Little Drummer Boy / Peace on Earth.” The release also unearthed an older explanation from the Washington Post of how the original duet came to be – and nearly didn’t. It’s one of my favorite holiday songs. We almost named our cat Bing Crosby – because we already had a David Bowie – but settled on Freddie Mercury to complete our duet. “Under Pressure” is perhaps the greatest rock song of all time, after all. Enjoy the weekend!
