Yes! I dream that I run into the mean popular girls who, in my fantasy, look sad and worn while my handsome husband and I look straight out of The Sartorialist…
OK, but in seriousness I love everything about this – the song, lyrics and video.
“I am a marble the color of candy.
I’ll make you money whenever you’re gambling.
I am the dice that you roll in the alley.
I am the pennies that come in handy.”
The video, which is a remake of the 1960 Godard film “Breathless“, is spot-on. And dare I say that Eleni’s leading man is way more handsome than the original! Now excuse me while I go add some French New Wave to my Netflix queue.
Wall decals can be a fantastic substitute for hanging art or paint. For starters, they’re cheap and quick to install, and can be removed in a flash if you get sick of the design or end up moving. What’s also great about wall decals is how fun and colorful they are. They can make even a dead-white wall come to life.
It’d been a while since I had checked out BLIK, the Venice, CA design company that has led the pack in removable wall graphics and was blown away by all the awesome new merch. BLIK has partnered with art accessories shop, Third Drawer Down, and the ever-popular t-shirt company, Threadless. Their newly expanded offerings include work by many great artists and designers including Art Hound fav’s Saelee Oh, Camilla Engman and Amy Ruppel.
Flickr is a fantastic resource whenever you’re looking to find out what other like-minded (or not) people are doing. (Wouldn’t it be great if you could search by location and see what your neighbor’s apartment looks like???) Many creative folks on Flickr offer inspiration by example of their beautiful, art-filled homes. And now there’s Art Hound’s Favs I, a Flickr gallery full of great examples of art in the home (see a few photos below)!
And if anyone would like to add their own photos for inspiration, please include them in the newly-formed Art Collections @ Home.
Some of you may remember the poll we had a few weeks back to help us decide on a new name for Honestly Art. None of the suggested names ended up making the cut, but we have finally settled on a new name – Art Hound! Our new name is inspired by our barking dog logo and the fact that we like to think of ourselves as “sniffing out” awesome art to share with you all.
In the near future we will be redirecting traffic to http://arthound.net
Thanks to everyone who took the time to participate in our first poll!
The feedback we received was that people aren’t sure Honestly Art is the best name but that our other suggestions aren’t any better. So… for the time being we’re sticking with Honestly Art, until one of us has an incredible brainchild for a better name.
