ever since i found out movie stars stash their oscars in the bathroom, i thought why not display your finest treasures in the lovely loo?
from art to postcards, give your guests the gift of the unexpected lavatory gallery.

skinny andy's illustrations offer a buffet of cuteness, and with it being monday and all, i'm in the mood to binge.

a few years ago, i wrote about my experience working in the art department on feature films, but i've never written about my many, many, many years working in development at various production companies at universal and fox.
"working in development" involves reading and developing screenplays, books, articles, pitches, sketches, comic books, video games, etc. and making them into films. i worked on scripts that ranged from penelope to munich. i met some of the most talented and creative people on the planet and had the honor to work with a handful of them.
i assisted wes anderson's producer, barry mendel, soon after the royal tenenbaums hit the theaters. i was a huge fan of anderson's and danced a little dance when barry gave me the criterion collection of wes's films.
moonrise kingdom continued my admiration for anderson's aesthetic and storytelling, and this new interactive and illustrated version of the screenplay keeps the development and art department nerd in me inspired and happy.

three. whole. pins.
follow me on pinterest, darlings! the trends may be small, but they are mighty.

in 1958, swissair released these amazing travel-designed cards inspired by eames house of cards.

paired with the '60s stewardess catwalk fashion, i am convinced that air travel was once a stupendously spectacular trip.

i confess: i do not watch homeland. but, according to the golden globes, i should.
artist ty mattson created these amazing 12 vintage-styled jazz album covers as an homage to the award winning show, and i must say, if homeland is even half as great as these album covers, i'll become a loyal fan.

sure, sometimes it's important to stop and smell the roses.
othertimes, it's important to just stop...and take a seat, darlings. monday's a good day to give it a whirl.

did you know there are magical places in the world where jumbo washi exists? it's true, and it possesses the power to create multi-striped wonderlands on ice cream trucks, staircases, buildings, bicycles and more.
unfortunately for me, the united states is not one of these enchanted lands. too bad, because i have the perfect driving coat and hair-do for that mini - of course.
