While in San Francisco earlier this week I saw the amazing Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit at the de Young Museum. It is one of the best exhibits I have seen in a while and makes up ever so slightly for the fact that I missed the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the Met last year. I feel like I should not be posting photos and videos since if you see it in person you may not have the same surprised reaction I had, but I am posting them anyway for those who can’t make it to San Francisco before the exhibit ends on August 19th. More photos can be seen here.

Note: Clark + Martina Topley-Bird makes me a happy camper.

My friend hoi just told me about this new game called Limbo and I absolutely love the look of it. Every time I see something like this that lacks color and uses it so well, it reminds me why I love black and white so much.

Catching up a bit since I am behind a couple posts . . .
I might have to visit this laundromat more often just so I can look at this fantastic “exotic plastic” laundry bag dispenser. Here are a few things I love about it:

• “Exotic Plastic in Designer Colors”
• German flag rainbow
• “Laundry Bags” typeface
• Photos of kids with laundry bags bigger than they are. One looks rather spooky and the other is so excited his parents made him carry the giant “exotic” bags.

Along with my weekly project posts, I have decided to post work by other artists, photographers, designers, musicians, creative types that inspire me. Here is a lovely video by Emmanuel Ho. It makes me want to start animating again. Now I just need to make the time to do it.
