I love and hate you Trader Joe's

Carl Willat. You have done a fine job capturing all that is Trader Joe's.

Just when I swear off Trader Joe's forever,

they go and make something magic like frozen plain yogurt.

The Whitest Boy Alive's video alive by Geoff McFetridge. I like it.

Taking the knitting needles out of retirement...

... so I can whip a couple of these bad boys.

My husband, daughter and I will wear them

when we have our family portrait painted.

These ski masks are from a McCall's Needlework & Crafts Magazine from 1965.

domesticated

San Francisco photographer, Alan George,

took some pretty pictures

of some sad little urban trees.

He very appropriately titled them domesticated.

There are a number of great series on his site.

Check it out here.

He does a great job making San Francisco's bustedness look really beautiful...

As well as the bustedness in other places...

Sisyphus Office

Illustrator, David Fullerton's, work for Sisyphus Office

is made entirely our of office supplies

and was exhibited in offices (see below).

Here are some of my favorites...

And I saved my absolute favorite for last...

"Sisyphus Office is an exhibition organized by San Francisco based artist, curator, and co-founder of The Thing Quarterly, Jonn Herschend and based out of Skydive, a Houston, Texas gallery.

David Fullarton's contribution is an installation in the offices of Houston radio station 90.1 KPFT entitled "What I do at work when I'm supposed to be working." It consists of a number of small works made entirely from office supplies, which are pinned up randomly around the office, in amongst the notices, flyers and memos that were already existing in the environment.

Urban alphabet

My mildly genius husband just emailed me this.

I think he was inspired by a combo of this post and this post.

I'm pretty sure my neighbors would see the genius

if I nailed a giant "petreccaland" sign to the front of my house.

Inspired by this mildly genius husband of mine,

I put together and alphabet out of the Urban Outfitter letters.

technology in retrograde.

I just stumbled onto Dan McPharlin's Miniatures on flicker......and saw these in the very same day.

The Evolution of the Cellphone in Matryoshka Doll is a concept from designer Kyle Bean.

When life gives you lemons...

Apparently this person has Syndactyly (It's a condition where two or more digits are fused together. It occurs normally in some mammals, such as the siamang but is an unusual condition in humans. Thank you interweb for the new knowledge.) and a sense of humor. As far as tattoos go, I like it. I do wish the pedicure was a little fresher.

(via I have seen the whole internet)

best headline ever...

"Man comforts young, semi-clothed, vomiting orangutan."

The vomiting orangutan is actually a piece by Tony Matelli called "Ancient Echo"

This pretentious and pop is speaking my language.

GOOD Transparencies

You can see the whole set here.

Moss graffiti

I love this so much. It's sort of a cross between the whole reverse graffiti trend and vertical gardening. I want to start spraying mold spores on everything.

And how great is this as a type treatment.

This is the work of artist, Anna Garforth. She creates these pieces by attaching the moss to the wall using completely biodegradable ingredients, the moss will hopefully colonize and grow.

She also created this installation out of trash. I think Anna's my NBF.
