everything is not art

by bekka on August 18, 2011

if art is everywhere, art is nowhere

It drives me a little nuts when I hear someone say, "Everything is art," because if you expand the definition of art to include everything, then the word becomes essentially meaningless.

stand out from the crowd with a custom favicon

I have so many blog-world friends using Blogger that when I open all of their blogs in tabs (guilty, I usually have no less than 50 tabs open) they all start to look the same. I would love to see more people taking advantage of custom favicons in Blogger.

As a favor to other chronic tabbers, I am offering a new favicon update service.

These images from creative studio Kontor Kontur are just the inspiration I need to tidy and clean this weekend. Guests will be here in a few weeks and I need a jump start on my spring cleaning!

project thirty three

The owner of Jive Time Records in Seattle has been collecting geometric album covers and posting them at Project Thirty Three. The end result is an inspiring array of rectangles, circles, dots, squares and triangles that remind us what we can accomplish with a few simple shapes. You won't see gradients or 3D effects on these posts, just bold and beautiful shapes.
