So, don't do it.
Usually really crappy artist's all hang out together, meanwhile the pretty great one's hate each other.

High Wheel by Maider Lopez from maider lopez on Vimeo.
High Wheel is a fun video project by Maider Lopez where he effectively removes the main structure of a ferris wheel by using chroma key (the same concept as using green screen, except in this instance kind of in reverse). Made for the OK Center for Contemporary Art. (via lustik, i heart my art)

Great Business Card Design
To help a local yoga practitioner reposition herself, ahem, in a crowded market, graphic designer Kapil Bhimekar created this clever Twist Card that functions as a sort of interactive business card. Neat. (via sweet station)
It's time for people to step their game up...in the business card world. I think business cards overall are sort of lame...but this is great! Even though the pics remind me of a pregancy test guide. lol
“I was worth over $1,000,000 when I was 23, and over $10,000,000 when I was 24, and over $100,000,000 when I was 25, and it wasn’t that important because I never did it for the money.”
Bye Steve!
Trippy Tea Party
I'm really not into coffee or tea time, but you gotta admit this is a pretty rad set. I would have a party and put booze in there...or soda. lol
"I'm the type who'd be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn't going to. I'm the type who'd like to sit home and watch every party that I'm invited to on a monitor in my bedroom."
Warhol talks about
Facebook before it existed.
This Andy Warhol quote is amazing. He pretty much wanted social media before it even existed. He would be posting his pictures from last night and sharing it with his social network right now if he lived today.

memorial is here.
His statue has been 25 years in the making and is set to be unveiled on the very site where his most famous words inspired generations of Americans.
Now the long-awaited statue of Martin Luther King Jr has finally been revealed on the National Mall in Washington, DC, where the civil rights leader made his iconic 'I Have a Dream' address.
The giant 30ft statue - the first on the Mall to honour a non-U.S. president - sits in a direct line between existing memorials dedicated to Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson.
Fitting tribute: The massive memorial towers over tourists in Washington's National Mall
It was revealed during a low-key opening at 11am in the U.S. capital, ahead of a week of celebrations before Sunday's official dedication
As well as the massive sculpture of Dr King himself, the memorial also features a 450ft-long granite wall inscribed with 14 of his most memorable quotations..
Visitors to the memorial reach the likeness of Dr King by walking through an 'entry portal' of two large stones with a gap inbetween.
The third stone, bearing Luther King's image, sits further forward on the plaza near to inscribed text which includes another quote from the civil rights leader: 'Out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope'.
The official dedication to the statue will take place on August 28 this year, the 48th anniversary of his historic speech.
President Obama is due to speak at the event in six days time.
The sheer size of the sculpture of Dr King sets it apart from nearby statues of Jefferson and Lincoln, which are both about 20ft (6m) tall, though inside larger monuments.
Jefferson and Lincoln - both of who appear in the famous Mount Rushmore sculpture - are widely regarded of two of the greatest ever leaders of the U.S.
The former was a Founding Father of America and author of the Declaration of Independence, while the latter is renowned for leading America through possibly its greatest ever crisis - the Civil War - by restoring the Union and ending slavery.
Martin Luther King, Jr is seen by many as a heroic leader in the history of modern American liberalism.
His tireless and impassioned campaigning in the African American civil rights movement lead to the ending of racial segregation and racial discrimination.

Natalie Irish is a Houston, Texas artist who puckers up for her art. After applying some rich red lipstick, Irish gets to work on a stark white canvas–by pressing her lips to it repeatedly. Wow, I wonder if she gets tired of kissing after she finishes painting?
