warpaint: stars

I don’t know much about them yet, but I am loving the two Warpaint songs I’ve heard tonight. This video in particular gives me chills. It reminds me of sisterhood, dreams, and random forest expeditions from days gone by. Beautiful.

Cosas mínimas

A couple months ago I came across the soon-to-be-launched Uppercase Magazine. The cover immediately drew me in; it was credited to an illustrator by the name of Blanca Gómez. This promptly led me to her blog and etsy shop for more.

Monsieur, set of four prints - by Blanca Gómez

I couldn’t resist ordering a set of her prints. Can’t wait to get these hung up. She has such a wonderfully honed aesthetic and her work is simply delightful. I don’t think I ever actually say that word in real life, but it’s so fitting in this case. Delightful!

And incidentally, Uppercase looks like it will be amazing – anxiously awaiting the first copy!

Le Ballon Rouge

Ahhh, this. It’s beautiful and you should watch it. It’s about childhood and balloons and Paris and colors and more. ‘Nuff said.

Directed by Albert Lamorisse in 1965. According to imdb, the only short film to win a non-short film Oscar, ever (it won Best Original Screenplay).
