richard rezac


a lamp worth a bit of drool.

the artist, macrae semans, part of an upcoming show at saatchi gallery. looks like its going to be an incredible show.



okay, maybe i'm a bad blogger. i cant seem to always write down the pics that i save, and then i forgot where i found them, somewhere out in cyberspace. its not always easy to keep up to date on a blog. it gives me total respect for the blogs that i follow, that maintain such consistency. kudos!

the bottom sculptures are by alma allen. his stuff is amazing! check out his website, with pics of his inspiring studio and home in joshua tree.

from 2 or 3 things i know blog. a great read always.

i love this quote...




Provacateur Magazine. It only ran two years, but looks amazing... Selling on Ebay for 95 dollars a copy.

One day I’ll grow up, I’ll be a beautiful woman
One day I’ll grow up, I’ll be a beautiful girl
One day I’ll grow up, I’ll be a beautiful woman
One day I’ll grow up, I’ll be a beautiful girl

But for today I am a child, for today I am a boy
For today I am a child, for today I am a boy
For today I am a child, for today I am a boy

One day I’ll grow up, I’ll feel the power in me
One day I’ll grow up, of this I’m sure
One day I’ll grow up, I know a womb within me
One day I’ll grow up, feel it full and pure

I just finished watching the inauguration speech this morning. This segment made my mind open up to the idea that we can rebuild, and even in our times of despair, that we are capable of rebuilding to become better... Sometime in order to rebuild, you must destroy.


"For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn.

Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.

This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions - that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America."
I picked this lamp up this weekend.

Im thinking 1960's, 70's, done in the brutalist style. I bought it at Design Utopia on Melrose. Great store; the owner has a great eye.
Lamp shopping this past weekend in Los Angeles, on Melrose.
