Welcome to Anne-Julie's kingdom, a whimsical world divided into light and dark charted by a pale, scarlet-lipped heroine. She's currently having a buy 2 get 1 free print sale that I will be taking advantage of!

Yoskay Yamamoto
Yoskay Yamamoto's paintings and sculptures have combined elements of his Asian heritage and the urban LA art scene. He has an upcoming solo exhibition this Saturday titled "Familiar Strangers" at LeBasse Projects. If only I could hop on a plane to California to see it.

Kristiana Parn
I was immediately drawn to Kristiana Parn's lovely paintings when I went to the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn, NY today. Her artwork has all the elements I could ever ask for: sleepy bunnies and other adorable animals slumbering in a marshmallow dreamland... on wood panels! I really wanted to buy a few prints (only $20!) but I liked too many of them! Soon, when I am settled in the new home, there will be lots of walls to adorn with her prints :] I'm so delighted to be acquainted with her artwork.
Cate, I know you're not too fond of some animals, but I hope you can make exceptions to Kristiana's critters :D

Really, I think one’s art goes only as far and as deep as your love goes.
I don’t paint these hills around Chadds Ford because they’re better than the hills somewhere else. It’s that I was born here, lived here — things have a meaning for me.
I do an awful lot of thinking and dreaming about things in the past and the future — the timelessness of the rocks and the hills — all the people who have existed there. I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure in the landscape — the loneliness of it — the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn’t show.
I think anything like that — which is contemplative, silent, shows a person alone — people always feel is sad. Is it because we’ve lost the art of being alone?
When I die don't ever worry about me. I don't believe in being there for the funeral. Remember that. I'll be flying far away, off on a new tack. Something new that's twice as good.

Wonderland
As a huge Burton and Carroll fan, I am tremendously excited for the upcoming Alice film. I don't think I can wait until next March, though :[

The Little Mermaid
Ancient Korea style
Far out in the ocean the water is as blue as the petals of the loveliest cornflower, and as clear as the purest glass. But it is very deep too. It goes down deeper than any anchor rope will go, and many, many steeples would have to be stacked one on top of another to reach from the bottom to the surface of the sea. It is down there that the sea folk live.
