WPA Posters

I'm doing some research for work, the project I'm working on is a flash piece which plays a snippet of FDR's speech regarding creating jobs. I was looking for some WPA posters for some art inspiration for the piece and I found these awesome examples on flickr, all uploaded by Banjohead except for the last one uploaded by wnyc. Click to enlarge.





These have such great composition and use of negative space, line and type.

Gualicho Street Art

Buenos Aires Mural

Originally uploaded by gualicho!

I love really bizarre and colorful street art, it definitely adds a new energy to urban settings. We have a lot of great murals in Philly but the style in which they're rendered are pretty traditional, I would love to see explosively bright modern murals like these too. Check out more of gualicho's work on his flickr, I love his color palette and imagination.


Universidad Creativa Mural in San Jose, Costa Rica

I posted about how lame I thought taggin was the other day, and here is something to illustrate my point! Instead of taggin something illegible why not tag a piece of art, something that makes a statement and contributes to a part of the community instead of just a selfish act of scribbling a fucking name?? D:

LOL! sarcastic die cut, I love the facial expression. I bet hipsters would love a product like this.

Tattoo machine

The contrasting colors in this pic are great aren't they? Also I love the concept of people building tattooing machines, in this day and age how often do we handcraft the tools we work with?

Holy crap! I literally gapsed out loud when I saw this! Amazing!

This is such a bizarre combination of things, a DJ and a giant deer necklace by missdisguise.

Some of my favorite photos on flickr, I like these pics of Parisian neighborhoods, I feel as if you rarely see that in people's Parisian pics. I love mundane neighborhood shots like these.

Vintage Fashion Inspiration

Piksi_'s Fashion Flickr

I came across this wonderful fashion photostream on flickr run by a young lady from Finland. She takes pics of her day to day vintage inspired fashions. She's gorgeous and has a great body to pull off these types of clothes. I need to get back into being creative with my wardrobe, I tend to dress very practical since I live in the city and I like to be able to get around with ease. So I avoid wearing heels because Philly streets just destroy them if you wear them too often and I like to walk fast lol. I also don't tend to buy skirts because I can never find any to fit my tiny waist, there's too much vanity sizing in stores and size 0s are more like size 3s -.-; But I love getting dresses for summer and little cardigans. My favorite store to get cute and relatively inexpensive items is Zara.



I love her outfits because they look like they'd be great for the office. They're fashionable yet formal enough to wear to the office. I'm starting to work again on monday and I need to build up an office friendly wardrobe. The place I work at is very, very casual but I need to define a workplace wardrobe so that when I'm on my off time I don't wear the same kind of clothes to the bar and movies. I've been trying to build up a date wardrobe too, but I was unemployed and didn't feel like spending the money lol. So maybe now that I'll be earning some dough I'll shell out for some cute Spring date outfits.
