I love this song for more reasons than just that its title was a part of my wedding vows.

YouTube – MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS | I AM NOT A ROBOT.

This may have been posted everywhere, but pay special attention to the raining part, which is utterly amazing.

DEADLINE post-it stop motion. again, via CP.

Funny that a piece about procrastinating took such an intense amount of work. This totally captures how I felt working on my qualifying paper.

After Mark picked me up at the train station in Buffalo on Friday night, he took me to his last photo assignment of the day, to photograph the new lightshow on the Peace Bridge. Here’s the video:

Organic Form & kind of

Organic form

The wonderful bookish blog A Journey Round My Skull has a post this week highlighting the fact that Charles Seliger: Redefining Abstract Expressionism is available (at least partially) on Google Books.

I was shocked to see Seliger’s 1944 work Organic Form in my RSS reader, as it’s a piece I’m well familiar with– it was the basis for my kind of project from 2004.

I need a big long project like this one again– I’m already getting excited about the possibilities for all the new basement space we’ll get in our new house (coming Saturday!).

Anyway, in honor of being reminded of this guy, here’s the final phase of my project, a short video, uploaded to youtube and magnificently degraded. Better versions here.

Let the signal run through my veins (this is the best 80 minutes of your week guaranteed)
