get to know
mimi cave



she is a friend
of my sis




watch out



you're going
to want eye
facepaint!






ps:



i see on the credits
a girl i went to high school with.
it makes sense she does
production design


it's really amazing when
you recognize a name of someone
you know from your younger years
on the web, in a magazine,
from a photograph.



it's great to
see that they're
involved in interesting
projects and doing exactly
what you imagined they
would be doing, but
with an element
of surprise.




dream big
like you did
in school.



keep surprising
yourself and others
and you'll be exactly
who you want to be.

because it was
so incredible



until then
don't be afraid to
explore your more
baroque side

i have been listening
to this on repeat



for 3 days now



I would advise
sticking through
the entire 10 min



I always wished
i was a jazz musician



I think I would be
a good bassist



never a lead
horn or trumpet



just not my
personality





what would
you be?

this land is your land,
this land is my land










the colossus of roads
:



"I come from a railroad family,
My grandfather and father each had
a 41-year career on the railroad



The folk art tradition of
chalking monikers on the traveling
billboards of the freight trains dates
back to the 19th century, when hobos
and rail workers broadcast their
presence in the vast network.


I followed this tradition
by fashioning my own icon for
quick application and easy recognition,
and plying the obsessive numbers
game of dispatch.




Anonymously sending
obscure cryptic messages."

what we can and
cannot control






i've been in
earthquake country
for a few days now.



my homeland.
california.



and i feel very
vulnerable to the
forces of nature



and the
forces of
mankind




more so
than ever.





how bad will it
have to get before we'll
start making significant
changes to sustain
this planet...

I still use the
marbled portfolio book
my parents brought back
from Paris when
I was 14 or so.



it was the most
beautiful & elegant
object i had ever seen
so I carried it everyday,
to school, under my arm.



there is something
about tying 3 bows that
makes everything inside
feel a bit more precious.



it makes me
proud of my work



which is quite
a triumph as I'm
very self-conscious
about the things
I create.





ps:


when you were
young did you have
a special object that felt
different from the rest?



one that made
you imagine things,
romanticize another time,
another life, or enlivened
the everyday.

nonviolence




is not
passive




it's a force
more powerful



gene sharp on
npr this morning



gene's books on
nonviolence truly
changed my life.



as the gulf protests
continue to spread
across the region


my thoughts will
be with the libyans.


we have yet to fully
know the extent of
their national
genocide.





a force more
powerful
