"Us" by Lim



Thought this was a neat video of spliced footage from various films. They call themselves "vidders," people who put together clips to form their own stories or music video-type stories.

VHS

It seems VHS has become a source of parody, and creative interest.

cool BBall documentary

This documentary was created by Kris Belman and highlights the importance of friendship and "brotherhood."

Creative Genius

Are you feeling the pressure to create the best designs for FW10? Do all of the horizontal concepts and brand alignment parameters make you dizzy and want to reach for a 40? Then you should watch this, and then you should relax.



Elizabeth Gilbert, author, talks about how we view creative genius and how it has affected those labeled so.

This is a new TED Talk from this month. If you've never seen one, you have a lot of catching up to do.

What I have to sort of keep telling myself when I get really psyched out about [being creative] is, "Don't be afraid; don't be daunted. Just do your job."

LACMA

Recently we stopped to see a couple shows at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.  They had an amazing room of the size of an football field with Warhol, Koons, and Baldessari work on display together.  They also had this Rauschenberg painting, which is his most well known work (it was poorly lit on the late afternoon we were there).


Downstairs was a fantastic Richard Serra that had a very sensitive presence.  It felt both massive and fragile as I stood in one fold, only to realize there were people just 2" away through the cor-ten steel.
