Rebecca Ward and Tokyo

Austin's own Rebecca Ward's at it again. Images of her recent  installation for the new Kate Spade store in Tokyo. Now I wish I was in Tokyo. Speaking of Tokyo I need to see this film soon! The preview looks amazing.

 I've been meaning to post this. I so wish I could see it in person. You have to see it in person. My friend Jack, he's crazy... in a good way. Go see it in person for me if you can!

Eva Zeisel: Maker of things.

TED series: The ceramics designer Eva Zeisel looks back on a 75-year career. What keeps her work as fresh today (her latest line debuted in 2008) as in 1926? Her sense of play and beauty, and her drive for adventure. Listen for stories from a rich, colorful life.

My work, your casa: Austin.

Jeffry Mitchell, GENIUS!

And to think I knew him when... Congratulations on the award Jeffry. It's about time!

"Jeffry Mitchell's art is ejaculatory, in every good and holy and dirty and wrong sense of the word. We are discussing this at church. Actually, we are outside church; we've just come from the pews of St. Ignatius at Seattle University, where we lifted our eyes up to the half-naked, tortured, and dead Christ, and kept quiet. We weren't there to worship, but we weren't there in disrespect. Mitchell took the holy water on the way in. Now back outside, he talks about his intimate, lifelong relationship with a religion that casts him out for being gay. "What they tell you in there is that you're supposed to be good to everybody—and they bind you up and put you in a chair and beat it into you," he says and laughs warmly."
