CULT GAIA

Cult Gaia is is an exciting new project I've been working on, beginning with whimsical, rebellious floral hair wreaths and funky wire fabric headbands that are a modern take on the traditional turban.  I am getting so creative with this and will slowly possess all of you with GAIA.  STAY TUNED!  In the meantime, check out this amateur and vibey video....

"But then they danced down the street like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I’ve been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!” -Jack Kerouac - On the Road

So I have really been lagging on my posting...I just moved, and am officially a Chinatown/Little Italy mutt. I am so inundated with inspiration and culture living down here- not to mention back & foot rub basements galore.  How did I get so lucky?

I LOVE NY.

Emotive line quality, gangly elongated limbs, and sinewy features. I love them all. Schiele, Klimt - and now Danny Roberts.

"This site is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or for something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change for the better."

damn right.

sometimes there's so much beauty in the world i feel like i cant take it, like my hearts going to cave in.

 Entomologist/Artist Christopher Marley makes geometric, kaleidoscopic arrangements of insects.  I am particularly frothing over the butterflies.  Nothing is manipulated and if you have eyes you aren't reading this...feast your eyes.

The Broken Hearts dj's

UK based dj duo, Amber and Nisha of the Broken Hearts are good for your ears and eyes! They are a perfectly crafted medley of vaudeville culture and imagery of the 30's, the circus, cabaret, old hollywood and The Shining.  They sound as eclectic as they look, and are silly brilliant.  feast your eyes and ears in all their eerie glory.

Youtube on Acid

Yooouuutuuube is an interactive site where you can upload any youtube or video link and it will pan each frame across the screen like a trippy psychedelic mosaic experience. My mind is exploding, along with my computer screen-just what I needed.
