I wish my apartment was as bright and cheerful as this guy’s place – It’s so whimsical!
The above is the home of Gerald Decock, a hairdresser and visual artist living in New York City. Gerald’s home is one of many featured on a website called The Selby, which offers an insider view of creatives and their personal spaces. The Selby began in 2008, where photographer Todd Selby posted photo shoots he did of his friends in their homes. Shortly afterward Todd began to receive requests from viewers all over the world who wanted their homes to be featured on the site. Todd has since then worked in collaboration with companies such as Nike and Vogue Paris, and has just published his first book The Selby Is In Your Place which came out in May. Not bad for a guy who used to work as a tour guide and exotic flower wholesaler!
Like to sketch? Join the group – or rather join the sketchbook project! The sketchbook project is like a concert tour but with sketchbooks. Thousands of sketchbooks will be exhibited at galleries and museums as they make their way across the USA. Afterwards, your little sketchbook will find it’s way into the Brooklyn Art Library’s permanent collection, where it will be available for the public to view. How sweet is that?
You can sign up here and choose one of many themes such as ‘In flight’ and ‘The view from up here’ to help you get inspired.
Happy sketching!
Brooklyn based photographer Matt Schwarts is the creator of e-studio She Hit Pause. I just adore how with the use of a polaroid camera, he manages to capture such lovely, nostalgic and summery images. Each grainy little photo is like a love letter for the eyes.
Such a pretty and fun concept! This little do it yourself art project could be a fun way to add some color into your home and for very little cost. If any of you readers out there decide to paint your own driftwood (or any old hunk-o-wood such as a old door, window frame, table top, etc) send me some of your photos! I would love to share them :)
Cheers!

The official video for She and Him’s latest single titled ‘Thieves’ was only just uploaded last week. I absolutely adore this song and the video is cute too. ‘Thieves’ is perfect listening to compliment a mid-summer lazy afternoon. Enjoy!
Life is meant to be shared – the most beautiful of memories are usually those which are shared among loved ones.
I find myself oddly drawn into the artwork of Australian Illustrator Kareena Zerefos. Her work is delicate, beautiful and refreshing. They take me back to childhood memories of story rhymes, coloring books and daydreaming.
‘Kareena’s work evokes a delicate balance between isolation and companionship, as well as yearning and delight in long lost moments of escape to the whimsical world of make believe.’
I adore these photos taken by photographer Jason Lee Parry. This photo shoot reminds me of the old six foot tall denim ads my father used to have posted up around the house back in the 80’s. Those were some pretty sweet posters and I wish I could get my hands on them today!
Well to all you Montrealers who are suffering through this heat wave – the week is almost over and the weekend is close at hand. Enjoy the day and try to stay cool!
This song makes me happy – and the video is just so 1980’s!
I have a sneaking suspicion that I wont be the only one who is amused, so I have decided to share it.
