Everthing is Incredible



On a day I am scouring the internet for something to fall in love with, I find this story from Siguatepeque, Honduras.  The magic that can be found in the corners of every town, in the everyday mundane... How I miss Honduras!

"Baby Got Back" Sung By the Movies


I had this song memorized when it came out and taught all the kids on my block the words.  Back in the good ol' days.

Saudade

Saudade has been described as a "...vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist ... a turning towards the past or towards the future."[2] A stronger form of saudade may be felt towards people and things whose whereabouts are unknown, such as a lost lover, or a family member who has gone missing. It may also be translated as a deep longing or yearning for something that does not exist or is unattainable.

Caine's Cardboard Arcade


!!!!!
I love everything about this.  Amazing!  Check out Caine's website as well.  They have started a scholarship fund for him (my heart melts)! "Chip in $1 or more to help Caine to go to college. Imagine what this kid could build with an Engineering degree!" All love- life is incredible.

Toyin Odutola





Toyin Odutola's drawings are so beautiful.  Originally from Nigeria, she is currently at California College of the Arts (and Crafts) completing her MFA, but has already been picked up by a prominent galley in New York.
Her story is pretty amazing.  I read a Critic's Pick article in ARTnews explaining how she approached Hank Willis Thomas, an Alumni of CCA and asked him after his lecture to visit her studio. And he turned to her and flat out said "No."  Later feeling guilty for rejecting her he went to her studio when she wasn't there. Impressed by what he saw he sent images of her work to his gallerist, Jack Shainman.  She just had her fist solo show in NewYork at the Jack Shainman Gallery.  And her work now is selling for $3,200- $12,000!
That seems like a dream to me.  But it does speak of her courage- to be able to ask for time from an artist you admire is definitely ballsy- so I think she earned it.  It goes to show it never hurts to ask.
Check out her blog as well.
