Perspective

Little Yellow Spider

Tonight after dinner we decided to do something small and epic. But what?

Spontaneous silly hat photoshoot? Outdoor chalk drawings?

But then we decided to draw pictures while listening to music. 

Here is my illustration for Little Yellow Spider by Devandra Banhardt

Finders Keepers

Bosky Dell

Judith Selby Lang and Richard Lang, a couple from Northern California, scavenge the coastline and collect plastic debris. This debris is washed and sorted and made into art. 

I found this clip through thisiscolossal and I wanted to share!

Aside from the important environmental aspect and the beautiful art they create, I was especially tickled about the sorting process. I like sorting and organizing things! :P

SEDUCTION

Ok guys, I buckled.

I tried to take a vow of plastic celibacy, but last night these shoes 

were chillin near the googly eyes 

and they used their combined seductive powers to entice me to make these:

They're SO RAD!!!

Especially when you have them all together, the TRIFORCE power of hat/shades/sneaks:

My mind is boggled and torn. I absolutely LOVE the whole creative process of making stuff like this. Actually, scratch that, more than love: I GET OFF ON the whole creative process. How do I continue this path without supporting industries that harm our Earth? Like, I'm not trying to be an a$$hole and shove these issues in everyone's face, but it is something that we need to think about and make efforts to change. And since I've always been an advocate of ethical consumption and living self-sufficiently it would make absolutely no sense for me to construct my business without considering the impact it would have in ripple-effect. 

As I continue to battle this problem, I will keep on with my other projects and hopefully find a way to consolidate these seemingly opposing matters.

This video completely encapsulates my perspective. 

(I'm very wordy today, aren't I?  Must be lack of sleep.)
