Stripper Polaroids

And right underneath this photo, there's a comment that explains it all to us:
"This photo came from a collection of over 400 Polaroid photos of strippers trying out for dancing jobs at a So. Cal club. They were taken from the late 1960's thru the early 1970's. I bought the entire collection for $10."

Everything was stylish back then, even the strippers. Of course, there are some pictures that I wouldn't have included in the collection, but then it'd be too perfect and thus - no fun. So, come forth, the Stripper Polaroids @ Flickr.

Supernatural Lifeforms

It's Summer! Just look how good today's date looks in This Day in Type. It's a neat site, they've got a different looking type for every day. You can also submit something of your own.

Also, if you're nosy and like to read other people's confessions, you should got to Penance.us where people write their sins (in 7 main categories). You can add your own too.

Today's entry's got a little something to do with the outter planets as well. See Planet Detrus. I'm not a fan of flash sites, but this one I couldn't imagine done in HTML.

Finally, the last link leads to Felix Heinen's posters. I would really like to see them in full size.

I've got things to show

I was told to update :D Luckily I had a few things ready :)

So, the person who told me to update is named Agne and Agne once got a link from Agniya and it was a Flickr gallery of a theatre squat in London. It's quite amazing with 30+ people living in it.

Also, I had my art project's presentation on the 11th. It's for the art's exam, the creative part. I did a calendar of 2008 and the reason I am bringing this up is because I've found a really neat calendar out there. Mine was Zodiac signs travelling througth the months, but this one blew me away. I never imagined that you can get this original with a simple calendar.

Another nifty thing is The Baby Name Wizard. 1900 was the year when my name reached its popularity peak :D

The last one in April

I've been a lazy updater. Well, there are exams to study for, but that would be a lame excuse because I don't study as much as I should and I do have time for updates now and then. Ah well, spice ay life. Let's see what Vesta brings (I hope I'll make it til 12am, otherwise the subject line will be a lie).

I wish I could participate in something as cool as the Y Conference. I'd draw 100 teacups with a green marker or run out of ideas after 10 random drawings and my piece wouldn't be included in the website. But it would still be fun!

Another fun thing is Eat Poo U Cat. A friend named Milda showed it to me and I registered. It's kind of like Explodingdog.com in a way, but you can not only submit sentences, you can also draw stuff and even guess what's drawn. Make sure you go there.

Then I saw Print Gocco - another thing that I probably will never have but want to very badly. Bah. :<

But let's not think about it anymore. It's spring andLove is in the air, on the ground or anywhere else you'd like it to be.

Oh, I would like to write for a little longer, but there's not much time left for me. May 1st Reboot is starting in 5 minutes. Don't miss it!

The Little Ones

I was about to say that I don't know how come I haven't posted about them earlier, but I'd lie, because I do know why; had only two kinda-okay songs and didn't think much of them. But, a few days ago, I had the chance to listen to their self-released album 'Sing Song'(2006) and loved it. Some people call The Little Ones one of the happiest indie bands around, others call them summery-sounding - which means practically the same thing - and I couldn't agree more.

Genre: Indie

Tracks to download
The Little Ones - Oh, MJ!
The Little Ones - Lovers Who Uncover
The Little Ones - Lovers Who Uncover (Crystal Castles remix) - I can't decide which one I like more: this or the original.

The Cool Hunter

I've read an article about cool-hunts and there was a link to a not-working site bellow, so I googled 'cool-hunter' and found this site. I know that you might not like the 'mainstreamness' of the thing, but I've found some nice things in there and I would like to share them with you.


I like packaging, especially when it's good.


Shoo Biz is about... shoes? And the way people sell them. Also, some more shoes for you to costumise.


How come kids get the best looking clothes, things and even bookshops?


This one might be my favourite because I happen to be a footie addict and want to have a room like that.


Street style! Inspiration-Nation! Street Stalker! Street Stalker! Street Stalker!


My dream bag.


If you're not too sure whether you want your tattoo to be visible 24/7, you should consider this.


Go to thecoolhunter.net for more goodnesses.

im in ur Ferro Fluids, looking ur awesome

This update starts with something awesomely cool, it starts with a Magnetic fluid art installation that everyone should see. A nice person, who's also known as Turbo, gave me this link along with my birthday greeting :)

And then, we shall laugh our arses off with the im in ur base jokes. I can't even pick a favourite! If you want more, you should go here and here for Fresh Spam.

I love the internets :D

The Marveller

It is a zine! Look, what they've got to say for themselves:

The Marveller, a submission-based 'zine: a collage of radiant things!, a two-dimensional combination of awe and hooray, a tool for the now-livers and forward-thinkers!, a collection of excellence and wowzers!

Wowzers indeed :)

Fotologs

People, who prefer pictures to text, should really enjoy fotolog.com. The users of fotolog don’t write much, but their art makes your pupils dilate and any kind of text is a blurry mess after that. Go on, sneak a peak.

If you haven’t been there before, maybe you’d like some artists recommended? Look bellow:

- alyona - funky bags
- maemca - mainly nice photograps
- funnicular - pretty illustrations
- srtapolyester - merchandise and other spiffy things that I wouldn’t mind spending my money on
- logan - this lad takes amazing photographs
- derm - stunning streetart
- btoy - the kind of drawing style that I both adore and envy
- magooilegal - same as above
- whip_dxl - sometimes I prefer sketches to finished drawings. They’ve got so much more in them, I think.
- johanpotma - just look at the style! ;_;
- triple1 - I like doodles on pages with text, they look nice
- Wreck1 - I had the honour to meet this one in real life once! He’s also got a style that makes you want to snatch it :D Also, since he’s been a member since long ago, he sent me yet more recommended artists. Here are some of those:
- pyoto - another Lithuanian :)
- ekta - I’d like one of them framed pictures on my wall
- l_o - brilliant photographs
- titifreak - streetart. Quite amazing, in fact.
- viewww - is it me or the layout’s really hard to navigate? Oh well, it’s worth the trouble, believe me
- 108 - black & white goodness
- nedra - such fine illustrations!
- czakoo - I love stickers
- thruthone - streetart, but not your regular one!

- wheesel - some more stickers :3
- heldendaden - <3
- enntia - those should hang on my walls as well :<
- inside_of_a_dog - fotodoglog
- letoms - they sure know how to lower one’s self esteem :D

You should be occupied for a while now, so I’ll leave you to it. :)

P.S. notice how most of them aren't English.

EDIT: the links were broken, but I fixed 'em all :O Thanks to Milda for telling me <3

Drawball, Moby and Little Fluffy Clouds

First, I'm going to show you drawball.com. It's something similar to The One Million Masterpiece, but Drawball is more fun. My brother's already tried it and recommended and he's someone you should listen to when it comes to drawing/art related things :)

Then, you should watch the folowing videos by Moby:
Natural Blues
Why Does My Heart Feel so Bad?

They're from the year 1999 and 2000 and do you remember how they first showed up on TV? How you were younger and thought 'oh, I like the pictures and the dog'? What did you feel back then? Well, watch them and you'll feel everything all over again, plus some new emotions, because you always see things differently after a while. Maybe you never knew what a 'lonely heart' was until sometime recently and you can relate to them even more now. Umm... just watch them, they're magical.

And also, here's a song for you:
The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds

It's not a new one, but it makes me think of pink coloured skies.
