Bizarre trophies & traditions...

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I decided to look up what a shillelagh is. It's a walking stick traditionally made from blackthorn wood and it's used in Irish martial arts! Pretty sweet! To my surprise, there is actually a Jeweled Shillelagh. It is a weird college trophy that is given to the winner of the USC Trojans and Notre Dame Fighting Irish game each year. If USC wins, they add a ruby-studded Trojan. If Notre Dame wins, an emerald studded shamrock is added. When trying to find a better photo, I came across a Sports Illustrated link that had tons of weird college trophies, check it out!

Keith Loutit & Vincent Laforet

Keith Loutit's tilt-shift and time-lapse photography fools my eyes into thinking this is stop motion animation! The people look more like model figures with Keith's out of focus technique. While Keith's video's shine, I've also come across the photography of Vincent Laforet. Some of his work makes me do a double take...

Check out Keith's videos (the music is great too):

Erick Scarecrow's Medusa: Can't help it, still want it

I know it's been awhile since the NYC Comic Con this year but I've still got Erick Scarecrow's Medusa on the brain. It's been a bit since I bought a vinyl piece and I'm on the look out for different colorways. I've got a Kissaki (original colorway) and she's just waiting for her sister to join her.....

James Jean

I'm an avid reader of Vinyl Pulse and last week there was a post about James Jean's Swan print for sale at Suru. I took a look at James' site and was hooked. His work is soft, beautiful and terrifying. A great combo for any artist. I'm a sucker for anything Asian influenced but it's hard not to like James' world of nymphs, dragons and other folkloric creatures. I don't know why, but I think of Neil Gaiman's world and Feric when I look at James' work.... http://www.jamesjean.com/

Ironically, only after visiting James' site did I see the Sally Jupiter illustration done for The Watchmen. There were posts about it last year but I managed to discover it only days before seeing the movie. It's in The Comedian's apartment...keep an eye out when you see The Watchmen!
