Sweet!

40 Kick Ass Dark Portfolio Website Designs

Thanks Inspiiired for the heads up! And to PhotoShop VIP for also featuring Yummy Wakame in first position!! Wow, I am really happy to be ranked. YAY!!!

UPDATE:
I can’t even believe that I missed this before, or that it happened, but the PhotoShop VIP article looks like it was written by Cassius, also featured in the 40 portfolio, who is a freelance design hero of mine with some clients I TOTALLY drool over, who I didn’t even know, knew, that I existed. So, that’s kinda weird, but more awesome than weird.

I feel like its my birthday and I’m the last one to know about the party because I was at the beach all day. Which is what happened. I was out swimming and eating pizza the past 2 days and all this cool stuff happened and the inbox is full. Sweet!

Lace Fence

Oh oh oh this is such a lovely idea, I can hardly stand it!!!

It just makes me feel so wriggly again. It makes me want to knit a scarf for a gangly tree nobody cares for, or macrame a rainbow across a bridge. I want to make things like this everywhere just for the fun of it and to walk away and let it go, let complete strangers steal it or leave it there and enjoy it, and never know what happened to it. While its nice to live out of one backpack, it really sucks to not have any handicraft stuff at hand. Once I get my few boxes stored in TX I want to start traveling with my craft tote again. Its going to be so worth the extra schlep.

I really need to get my few boxes gathered here and there back together again. I miss my books. And jewellery. Pfft. What’s the point of keeping it all I don’t know. I keep wishing for my bookshelf. And the stowaway bench that stores all my crafts. And a sewing machine. And my bed up in a loft. And that tree. That tree.

All I want, only one sweet little miracle. I’m just about ready for it. Just about. And this time I won’t get lost in it. I’ve gone to far to ever come back to that.

Monster Munch

Bright colours and fine taste in hand-drawn lines always grabs my attention. And holds it. Great bio too, Mr Monster. I feel exactly the same way.

ANAKLIA Sea Hotel

Gorgeous. I LOVE the underwater aquariumness of it all. And how its like an island. I wonder though, what do they do with all the sewage? I really hope its not going to be like adding more waste dumping cruise ships to the ocean. And I suppose transporting supplies, people and waste back and forth uses up unnecessary fuel. However, I think these could be put to great use as fully autonomous, sustainable community pods in the ocean. Reminds me a little of those amazing high-capacity community buildings in Sim City… I can’t remember what those were called. I would LOVE to live on one. But I imagine being surrounded by plants, friends and children, not in 5 star, poop in the ocean luxury all the time.

Great find Kenna!

Aw… my Dad’s first clothing shop – Frank B Earnest in Gardens Centre, Cape Town. I remember helping to paint that amazing floor when I was a little kiddo. The last time I popped round, over 10 years ago, there was a new store there but they’d kept the beautiful painted floor. Those old leather couches and the Persian rug used to be in our livingroom…

When I was a really teeny weeny he worked for the House of Monatic where he started the Carducci label. I remember spending hours with my brother at the office, scooting wheelie chairs all over the building, up and down the elevators, spinning around and around for hours… sniffing suit fabric swatches, gluing and stapling fabric and paper together into strange things. I remember the office windows were floor to ceiling and the entire building smelled heavily of brand new fabric and carpeting. Now that I think about it I was probably always high on fumes… oh and those permanent markers… and spinning round and round and round… He was always away on business trips. I remember particularly when he went to Italy and Japan and would come back loaded up with crazy toys I’d never seen in South Africa. He was a fun dad and I missed him a lot when he was away. Back then and for years I thought “Overseas” was a country people visited on business trips and rich kids went skiing with their parents, and “South Africa” was where everyone really lived. An entire classroom of laughing kids enlightened me to reality. That happened often. (more…)
