Really funny Devendra Banhart video... Starring his beloved Natalie Portman and lots of Hindu deities ;)
*Pay attention to the subtitles!

Loved this DIY lamp idea!!
Is created by Domestic Construction.

So in love with his illustrations that I’m thinking about creating a pattern capsule collection inspired on them...

Adore the combination of materials and the neo-organicism of it all. Great lamp. I would love to have one of these on my desktop!

Yesterday had the chance to see a classic movie called “Picnic at Hanging Rock”... knew some things about it but was stunned by the cinematography and the overall beauty. Amazing scenes, light games and psychedelic effects.
Felt like watching Sofia Copula's inspiration before making The Virgin Suicides...The soundtrack is mostly pan-pipe music but if they were changed into synths could have been made by Air easily.

A perfect sunday aussie movie.

We are working on handmade patterns for our next Pattern Tales collection,,, a couple of days ago started with this one, take a glimpse even though is not finished yet... do you like it?

This video blew my mind last week... Love it.

partial translation from the interview...
........................................................

“Slowly but surely”

“A perfect tandem between Alex, the business brain with enviable skills learned in New York and Ana, an unstoppable torrent of creativity with a degree in Fine Arts.”

“The success came quickly, and with it the big clients like L'Oreál or Biotherm ... but something did click inside the two, pro entrepreneurs but bon vivants deep inside”

“Proudly they explain what they are doing now is slow design....”

“I did not want to simply do style exercises. Design is a process, requires research to reach a solid concept -says Ana- who defines herself as a ravenous of images by historicist spirit. What translated means: addicted to magazines, blogs, and at the same time scanning design in their purest sources -like 18th century japanese ornaments-”

“From this crossing between modernity and crafts, projects arise as a) Pop Pervert (itte studio’s b-sides), where you can find from their own sketches to the Kinks covers; b) a collection of ideal t-shirts, T_Milk, with handmade illustrations sale on-line and c) the major launch, Pattern Tales: a collection of more than 120 prints that they inhale to cover something more than walls (houses, fridges, textiles, anything and everything).”

Still working on this drawing for Historic Fashion series... but looks better than the other day :)

Almost had tears of joy when I saw these fab eyelashes... Viktor & Rolf made the most luscious lashes in the world!
Grrrr...



Aren’t they gorgeous?

Both designs were created with the same initials “M” and “P” and following the client’s brief: minimal, cold chromatism, typographic..

Out of three which one is your favorite?

Isn’t it cute?... A special pattern for a contemporary wedding...Vive l’amour!!!
It’s constructed with the letters “P” and “M”, the initials for the lucky couple!

Dear Santa, as we’ve been REALLY good girls/ladies this year and before you are busy later on, might ask you an anticipated x.mas present, would love to receive The Purple Antologhy book, a total must for Purple lovers like us. Will you sent it to us? You can do it online come on... :D

A preview of our "Historic Fashion" drawings in it’s very first stage... just paper and pencil. Soon will be posting the rest of the process...

Yesterday was the first Montjuïc Nit, an Art night at the Montjuïc mountain in Barcelona. About 50 different activities, lots of people and a great warm sunset. We stop-by at Fundació Miró, MNAC (Duchamp+Picabia+Man Ray exhibition) and the Barcelona Etnologic Museum.

I recorded this while people were pogo-dancing around me... that’s why the video is soo short.... but totally recommend this gig.
The noisiest experience in my life! EVER!
There were free earplugs for the audience at the entrance of the Roundhouse... A MUST.

You can download the video from the link above... YouTube was banning the video the two times I tried... :/

...and below a couple of Kevin Shields pictures I took.
