All Things Chill

I’ve talked about West Elm before, but mainly because I thought the Tumbleweed Print Duvet Cover was a cute pattern and a great color.
But now, this time it’s personal. West Elm’s Diamond Jacquard Duvet Cover (in orange) screams testosterone and begs for a mocha or black leather bed frame. I’ll [...]

Wow. I can’t believe that I clicked on a web page advertisement. Someone please tell me that this is an adsite. Thanks(?) to MOCOLOCO for having the ad. There’s so much more going on here than just vodka.
Underground, Tokyo is boiling with creativity – subculture is part of culture. [...]

Sleep. I don’t find it very hard to do (anymore), but it seems as though I’ve been surrounded by insomniacs that lie in bed all night and stare at the ceiling. Many use this time for contemplating life, which can be a constructive or destructive thing. Others are zombified by infomercials. [...]

I love tea. It’s calming effects have kept me running on chill for most of my life. You won’t see any bags in my cupboard any longer, it’s loose-leaf only. It’s a te(a)dious (pun intended) process which requires almost 100% attention and a lot of hand holding. The Gamila Company has [...]

This guy is amazing. Simply amazing. I’ve talked about Stanley and his breathtaking works before, but this time he’s done it. He and other talented artists have released an art book on sale to the public (so you don’t have to use the company’s high quality printer every time you want a [...]

I woke up this morning with the alarm clock blaring. Eugh. I opened my eyes and quietly muttered a long lists of profanities under my breath. I hate those kinds of mornings. But then… I hopped in the shower and it all went away with a lil’ bit o’ mint.
I [...]

Damn. Some people are blessed. This painting is entitled “Pepper Romance” by Stanley Lau
I’m a deviantART fan, but I don’t visit that often. For the most part, its because it depresses me into a “I wouldn’t even know where to start, but I’d love to create something such as this” mindset. [...]

MoCo Loco has an article on Celeste, a Jib sail shaped canopy for beds. I think its beautiful. And fucking sexy.
“Céleste is a sky” says Belgian designer Kris Van den Berghe. In fact, you can project images of the sky, day or night, onto the canopy to get the full celestial effect. But [...]

I’ve written about how much I love The Postal Service before. Cool pic, huh? I found it @ kozyndan.com. Whoever or whatever this site represents I don’t know… it sure is trippy. Here’s the info:
Title: DC Sleeps Alone Tonight
Media: pencil, digital
What: Illustration for The Postal Service second single “DC Sleeps Alone Tonight” [...]

I am an in-house designer. I do freelance frequently, but I’ve never felt it as a steady income. I wish I was part of a large team, creating incredible interactive web experiences using all sorts of Internet technology. Alas I am not, but I’m making the best of it, learning what I [...]

Cafe Terrace at Night

“My opinion is that the best thing would be to work on till art lovers
feel drawn toward it of their own accord, instead of having to praise or to explain it.”

I went to a new Target with J that was built on the outskirts of downtown Chicago (It was on the way to Joy Yee’s in Chinatown) a couple weeks ago and randomly bought some shampoo. Not any ordinary shampoo, but Modern Organic Products’ Basil Mint Shampoo for normal to oily hair . [...]
