This music video for Seattle based worship band, Citizens, is awesome! You can see/listen to more Mars Hill bands here.
WHERE’S MY YELLOW
A good friend once commented to me, after viewing an Ann Demeulemeester collection, “where’s my yellow?” It’s a fantastic quote and has continued to stick in my mind. All black or all grey is great (I mostly wear just that) but it can get monotonous (pun intended?) Whether it’s muted, neon, goldenrod, ochre, whatever… working yellow into your outfit is fantastic.

CLOUDS
If you couldn’t tell yet, I’m quite obsessed with images of clouds, well really just clouds in general. The shapes, the textures, the way light is blocked or let through, really anything to do with them. I found this awesome Damir Doma jacket a few years ago, and fell in love. I’m glad I didn’t buy it because well it’d end up not getting worn that much but it sure is cool.
THAT HAT
I have quite the affinity for women whose flowing hair cascades out of a wonderful hat. Top image is from Le 21eme, second image is a charcoal drawing I did a while ago, and the rest are random tumblr finds. I also must add the tonality and texture to many of these photos is amazing.
Tunes Tuesday – Sigur Rós
The newest video and preview from their upcoming album – Brennisteinn. Pre-order the album, Kveikur, here.
Sigur Rós has the most amazing ability to have their music videos seem like films. Most likely because they are fantastically cinematic and use actual film directors, but it’s something that I find so intriguing. Below is another one of their music videos I’ve become fascinated with from their Valtari Mystery Film Experiment.
BEACH DREAMS
This is just too funny to not post. I miss the beach. Thankfully, I live only a few blocks away from a lake that is swim-able in the summer. Rocks are not the same as sand, but they also don’t stick all over you either. Looking forward to warmer days, they are just around the corner.
Photo from Wes Anderson’s latest film, Moonrise Kingdom in case you didn’t already know. My current obsession for a few reasons.
The font designed by Jessica Hirsche:
The costuming with emphasis on the amazing specs:
The soundtrack:
Okay so pretty much every single aspect of the movie! I love that my blog posts about things are a year after they have been out. I am certainly not the most current, but always relevant!
BRO CYCLING TEAM
Shred Club is the name, shredding is the game. Sizemore Bicycle let me in on his lil secret, starting a team this year with emphasis on fun. We will be racing; we will be competitive (got to win getting the most air on the cross course!) It’s also an outlet for Taylor and myself to come together on a project that pushes both of us in terms of design. I am inexperienced at graphic design to say the least, but I found this beautiful image below that Jeremy Dunn took for John Watson at the Tour of California in 2012.
This dude looks like he is straight out of the 70′s. I couldn’t believe it: the type is so perfect, everything really in this photo is perfection. Instantly, I thought “Bro Cycling Team” has to be done. Created a lil hunting target style emblem up front and you have the first shirt for Shred Club. We will be doing more products by partnering with some of our sponsors and can’t wait to share them with you. Pick up one of these shirts HERE quick because you know they will go FAST!
IF NOT NOW THEN WHEN
If not now then when? I often find myself so focused on what the future holds, or imagining how I’d like my life to be that I forget about the now. There is something to be said for living life day to day to it’s fullest, and taking advantage of the season that you have been placed in. Viewing it as a blessing and chance for growth. I don’t want to get caught up in a future that, more likely then not, will not be what I pictured. In fact, I know it won’t, but what’s great is that it is typically better than I could have imagined. I want to be living in the now, centered on taking full advantage to grow in and pursue Christlikeness in this season. Preparing myself for things to come, without knowing what is to come!
