"Sitting quietly, doing nothing. Spring comes, and the grass grows by itself." -Zen proverb

The Moon speaks (from BBC TV's The Mighty Boosh, which I've been addicted to for several years now).

An amazing little film created by the always inspiring graphic designer Julian House (who also records as The Focus Group and co-founded the Ghost Box record label) for a track off of Broadcast's 2009 release Broadcast and The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age (which also happens to be my favorite record of 2009).

Today, I am:

A brilliant musical recording & video from Moon Wiring Club.

Probably my favorite of all the books I read in 2009. First published in the UK in 1967, the photo on the cover shown above shows a still from the Granada Television adaptation that aired in 1969 (which I've also seen and highly recommend).

These two are the creations of the magnificently talented Fanja Ralison, aka Le Train Fantôme. I purchased an earlier incarnation of Lewis (the rabbit with the 'stache) for my wife as a gift a couple of years ago and she flipped. Do yourself a favor and check out Fanja's website.

 
From Wikipedia:

"Inside/Out was an anthology series of 15-minute shorts that ran on public television in the US from 1972-1973, designed to teach children about social issues. Instead of resorting to happy endings, as many shows of this kind had done, Inside/Out typically had cliffhanger endings, leaving the viewers to draw their own conclusions as to what they would do in similar situations."

Howdy folks. I'm a graphic designer by trade, living in NYC, and this here is my new blog. I hope that it will be a place I can share with you some things that I like, whether it be images, music, words - whatever. Anyway, stay tuned...and don't eat the brown cabbage!
