I recently pubbed a little piece about my time at Shakespeare & Co., and the e-mag used this picture (I don’t know where it came from) to illustrate it. It made me homesick all over again!
Someone Make This
June 2, 2014Years ago––probably six or seven?––I was walking by the Society of Illustrators on the Upper East Side when I saw some very charming drawings posted outside. One of them was of a girl wearing a snake as a scarf. I tried to recreate it. It’s only kind of terrible.
Ever since, I’ve been obsessed with the idea of someone making scarves in the shape of a snake. I’ve done some mock-up designs (you’re welcome!) but I think the prints could most certainly be improved upon. If you’d like to buy the design for me (oh, it’s copyrighted, bitches) please contact Siobhan.
I Need This
May 29, 2014Artistic Mixology
May 28, 2014“If there were visitors, Toulouse-Lautrec would proudly mix up a few rounds of his infamous cocktails; the artist was smitten with American mixed drinks, which were still a novelty in France at the time, and he liked to invent his own concoctions––assembled not for complementary flavors but for their vivid colors and extreme potency. (One of his inventions was the Maiden Blush, a combination of absinthe, mandarin, bitters, red wine, and champagne. He wanted the sensation, he said, of a ‘peacock’s tail in the mouth.’)”
I don’t know, those flavors sound pretty complementary to me.
Ida
May 25, 2014If you run in certain cinephiliac crowds, you might have heard of this slim, haunting, immaculate movie Ida, which I saw Thursday. Based on some seriously stylish jazz singers who intermittently perform throughout the flick, I’m thinking of writing something about the history of jazz in Poland. Or, in lieu of that, I might just ogle singer Joanna Kulig, in all her white doo-wop teddy girl style glory.
I have been looking to no avail for the soundtrack for the past two days. While I tend to that, you should also do yourself a favor and see Ida. I just watched the trailer for the seventh time and almost cried AGAIN.
