BEAUTY AND THE BEARD
I know, I know...Beard trends have inundated the internet over the last year. From the fetishizing of #lumbersexual to those full-on and rather bizarre beard bouquets, these crumb catchers have been through a lot, but who says the ladies should have all the fun?! I have to hand it to these dapper dudes for pulling this latest trend off. Move over Nicole Ricci, we're coming for you.

HADLEY WILLIAMS - ABSTRACTION
Hadley Williams :: Material Explorations + Abstract Art
Mixed Media
California based artist Hadley Williams creates these playful 3-Dimensional pieces of art from every day objects like bubble wrap, paint, recycled plastic, plaster and even the foam from coat hangers. Ranging from whimsical to more graphic and always with a concentration on the objects' textures, Williams encourages us to re-think what we know of everyday objects in a new, more playful, and inspiring way.

THINGS TO REMEMBER
Sometimes in the craziness of life we forget the simplest things. Let's remember a few of those things today...
Listen to those who have gone before you, then make your own path.
Tell people how you feel instead of assuming they know.
The beauty is often in the process--their is always time to rush later.
And of coarse...

ABANDONED
These images are taken near San Francisco's historic Pier 70, and are meant to capture the sense of abandonment of the formerly thriving Port. They carry a chilling, ethereal quality of the past, drained of life and frozen in time.
Sea shells washed up on shore---resembling the ebb and flow of the Pacific and the power of change outside of humans' control. I wonder where these shells came from?

TODAY.
Today its all about color, texture, and looking for connections that naturally occur. Let's not force design today. Let's just allow beauty to reveal itself.

STEVE BACK & THE HUTT LAGOON
Steve Back :: Hutt Lagoon Aerial Photography
Steve Back's Hi-Res aerial images Austrailia's Hutt Lagoon at first glance appear to be an abstracted form or microscopic investigation into some unknown world. But these heavenly shots are a result of a 3-year project capturing the largest micro-algae formation in the world. An engineer turned photographer, Back has found a truly beautiful and unique way of merging his two passions. And the results are simply unforgettable.

FLASH BACK
Vernon Panton :: Visiona
Call me crazy, but I am totally digging Vernon Panton's Visiona. His take on the psychedelic leaves much to the imagination, and the story of these spaces is pretty cool too. Panton, a designer who peaked during the 1960s and 70s was commissioned on two separate occasions by the chemical company Bayer to completely transform a boat into a temporary showroom during the Cologne furniture festival. The result was something truly imaginative!

STICK IT TO ME :)
Yo Shimada :: Sticky Note Installation
This installation by Yo Shimada of Tato Architects is just simply too much fun! Composed of over 30,000 sticky notes formed into cell-like structures then stacked, the vibrant colors create a playful mini metropolis. Guests of the gallery were invited to post their own thoughts about the installation on the walls surrounding the piece, creating a fun way of interacting with the art and each other.
