Beautiful Flowers by Mama Mare


My mom just sent me her Thanksgiving Day arrangement and I thought it was so pretty it deserved a foggyland post. She gets all her creativity from moi! Right, Mom?! xo

Loving This Hong Kong Artist






Simon Birch is a Hong Kong painter, graffiti + installation artist, DJ, restaurant owner, and I bet the list goes on and on (read: pretty cool guy). There are few things that I research the moment upon discovery but I had to see what this artist was about and see more once I caught a glimpse of his work. His color palette is subdued almost but becomes vibrant and alive because of the energy and movement in the pieces.

3 Amazing Videos

Filmmaker Rick Mereki went abroad with his film crew for 44 days to 11 different countries and ended up with 3 beautiful one-minute shorts with the underlying theme being TRAVEL. The segments are MOVE, EAT + LEARN. Very clean and inspiring... :)

Fun Fact





Did you know that Lincoln Logs were invented by the son of Frank Lloyd Wright - John? Me neither! And they were dubbed Lincoln (Logs) in honor of his father's middle name (a name he dropped and substituted with Lloyd, his mother's maiden name). John based the design of Lincoln Logs on the architecture of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, that was - surprise, surprise, designed by his famous dad. Love random facts!

How Cool are these bikes?!





Cool Hunting's email came this morning and look at what they showcased - a mahogany bike! The bike is made entirely of mahogany including frame, fork, seat, seat post, handlebars/stem combination and even rims. Built by a ninth-generation shipwright - Sueshiro Sano. How in the hell is that even possible - maybe as a piece of art - but the bike is functional as well. I am beyond impressed - so sharp!

Photographer Alex Prager

Something made me want to see more when I stumbled across a couple photographs by Alex Prager - an LA-based photographer. Her work is almost retro feeling yet contemporary and I love the use of color - no surprise she was heavily influenced to pick up the camera when she saw a William Eggleston exhibit years ago. Any way, I dig her look. Thought I'd share.
