Tom Sachs, A Selby Film from the selby
The raddest nursery would have Tom Sachs' drawings coving the walls...
["Making parents understand the hard work and dedication it takes to become a rising disco-pop act in New York is likely a tall order. But Holy Ghost! found a solution: They put their parents to work. Hive’s proud to premiere the new video for “Wait & See,” wherein Nick Millhiser and Alex Frankel are played by none other than their respective fathers. There’s a joke to be made here about walking a mile in shoes or something but watch the video. It’s funnier."] here
DRAW CATS
I'm lucky to have friends that can walk into a flea market and immediately think of me upon first glance of Draw Cats by David Brown--wouldn't have it any other way.
MAPS OF PLACES
I'm starting to have this thing for old maps - kinda played out, but their charm is just hitting me now. I had these wood frames made from some old barn wood my dad had lying around.
[The Columbian map is a 1940s war map that was tucked in the end pages of an atlas I scored at an estate sale for $5]
[A friend of mine found the Paris map on the street in Seattle. I knew it needed to be displayed and loved so who better to give it to then my Parisian-loving (in more ways then one) roommate.]
THE SELBY IS IN MY PLACE
...thanks to my dear friend for the belated birthday/Christmas present :) [The Selby]
Although not in the printed book, this is one of my other favorite places featured on the site: [Pamela Love & Jordan Sullivan]. The plethora of cats and skulls may have something to do with that.
DON'T TRY SO HARD.
["Cats are quirky, independent thinkers. Some people don't like them for this very reason. But I find that quality enormously appealing. I respect each of my seven cats because they are so true to themselves and resistant to outside influences. In my opinion, it would be preferable for politicians, in particular, to behave more like cats, who just do their own thing, and less like dogs, who clamor for affection and acceptance."

WARM WELCOMES
I moved into my new place in Capitol Hill over three months ago but it took a while before I felt unpacked and at home. Even though the days are turning colder and wetter, the place is finally starting to feel warm and welcoming.
[The mirror ($70) was found two blocks away at a garage sale. Oddly enough, I have been a repeat customer at this family's home as they have hosted multiple garage sales throughout the summer.]
[A kitty cat piggy bank ($3) that guards all my pesky change.]
[Vintage landscape photographs ($10 for both) that were bought at the same yard sales as the giant gold mirror.]
SEPTEMBER LUSTS
[Watching this video has been my daily routine for the last week. Although it's just a simple video montage, there's something about these images, and what happens when they are combined, that's really exciting.]
SAN JUAN PLUSH
Despite the fact Father's Day came and went a month ago, my dad received his handmade reward for being an outstanding fatherly figure last weekend. But worth the wait it was. As an avid boater and island explorer, my dad likes both maps and cozy adornments for his boat. Infuse these interests and obviously you get a felt San Juan Island throw pillow.
[And finally, Godfrey graced it with his good luck]
Woof.
[First I printed out a map of the islands and then tediously cut each little land mass out of paper]
[Then the felt was cut out from the paper pattern]
[Then pinned to the background piece and stitched]
[And finally, Godfrey graced it with his good luck]
Woof.
