Come to dinner - David Lynch

David Lynch loves quinoa, he likes to eat it as often as possible.
(I like quinoa too, but not as much as David).





And one of my favourite comments...
"i just bought some quinoa today and was hoping david lynch might have an instructional video on youtube on this very subject."

This is No 2 in my occasional series of 'Random Love'.

Jack White, Jimmy Page, and that bloke from U2

Soooo excited about this.
Just watched my music geek go nuts. Documentary 'It might get loud'.
(which includes Jack White making a guitar using a block of wood and a coke bottle)

70's Graphics and Ice Skating

With an old friends visit came a trip to the ice rink, and a trip down memory lane. I loved the ice rink in my early youth, and I was amazed to see it hadn't changed a bit. Even down to the 'Kiosk' sign above, and the selling of 'Disco' and 'Skips' crisps.

Also found behind the main staircase was this piece of graff, which I found quite charming.

Random Love - Klaus Kinski

The first in an occasional series of random finds.

I have big love for Klaus Kinski - I just wish I could give big air and ride a half pipe - oh well. It would sit very nicely next to my Futura deck though.

And it's only €65 from Alllikestore.com

Will Barras - Green Day tour

A big shout out for Will Barras, who will be one of the artist featured on Green Day's roving art gallery tour. I've reposted this from Eelus' blog as it's a pretty interesting music/art crossover (press-release info below).

GREEN DAY’S UPCOMING U.S. TOUR TO FEATURE A ROVING GALLERY SHOW OF INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS AT EACH VENUE

ARTISTS SUCH AS RON ENGLISH, THE LONDON POLICE, AND C215 CREATED WORK INSPIRED BY EACH TRACK ON BAND’S LATEST ALBUM 21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN

DATELINE - Burbank, CA - Green Day have a special treat in store for fans attending their U.S. tour this summer. A roving art gallery will be set up at each venue to display work by a collection of eclectic artists from around the world, each of whom has been asked to create an original piece inspired by a track on Green Day’s new album 21st Century Breakdown.

The show is curated by New York-based stencil artist and die-hard punk-rock fan Logan Hicks, whose portraits of band members Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool, and Mike Dirnt will also be on display. A passionate art and music lover, Hicks has assembled an impressive group of noted artists - including world-renowned New York-based painter Ron English, Amsterdam-based street artists The London Police, French stencil artist C215, and British illustrator Will Barras - to show the connection between music and art.

“I chose artists whom I felt had a similar visual approach to art as Green Day does to its music,” Hicks says. “Although most of the artists represented are well-established in their careers, they embrace the same emotional rawness with their art, which speaks from the heart and swings with the fist. Their subject matter is struggle and injustice-they shoot from the hip and their art is their weapon.”

“We are really excited to be touring with this incredible show,” says Armstrong. “Seeing the pieces that our new album has inspired is very exciting. Many of the artists Logan has chosen show their work on the street, and we feel a strong connection to that type of creative expression. We think the fans coming out to see us on the road will love it.”

I'm loving the network of recommendations by Twitterfolk - here's one by graff artist Fake. Strange but awesome.
