Don Mueck





Don Mueck is a London-based photo-realist artist. Born in Melbourne , Australia , to parents who were toy makers, he labored on children's television shows for 15 years before working in special effects for such films as Labyrinth, a 1986 fantasy epic starring David Bowie.
Eventually Mueck concluded that photography pretty much destroys the physical presence of the original object, and so he turned to fine art and sculpture. In the early 1990's, still in his advertising days, Mueck was commissioned to make something highly realistic, and was wondering what material would do the trick. Latex was the usual, but he wanted something harder, more precise. Luckily, he saw a little architectural decor on the wall of a boutique and inquired as to the nice, pink stuff's nature. Fiberglass resin was the answer, and Mueck has made it his bronze and marble ever since.

Happy Weekend!!

Have a great weekend! See you next week!

Yeah!

My friend from Texas was in town yesterday! I have not seen her in 3 years, but we have kept in touch the whole time. It was so good to see her and catch up! I love it when you can just pick up where you left off with someone. Now it is my turn to go back to Texas to visit her...can't wait to see her again!

My friend Erica asked me for some ideas for her new place. She has a tan couch and I thought that mixing the tan with grey and white would look great! Here are the inspiration photos that I sent her. I got them from desire to inspire, an amazing blog page!

Steve and Moms party

This weekend was the B-day party for Steve and my mom. It went surprisingly well! I think? Here they are blowing out the candles. Also, Kayla went swimming for the first time. Here she is in her tankini.

So this is where he was all day!



gnome


Laura, my friend from work, gave me a gnome to put in my garden. It has been sitting on my desk since Monday, waiting to go home. Today he was missing! This is how I found him outside. He is scared!

The " wave" of the future

I think that this is a must for all night club bathrooms...let me paint you a picture. You are on the dance floor and it is hot and humid. You go to the bathroom and realize that your hair is growing wider and your bangs are starting to curl. (Scary right) So you look over at the wall and find a hand dryer, a soap dispenser and a flat iron!? You put in your quarters and in minutes your whole night is saved! What a great idea! I love living in the 21st century!

Cute!


I love this outfit! I grabbed the image from thesartorialist...a must see!

Happy Birthday


This is the month of Birthdays! Today is not only my wonderful mother birthday, but also our friend Tim's. Happy Birthday to both of them! I hope that they have an amazing year!

I heart Marc


I love this Marc Jacobs bag! It is super cute!

Kiki D



I don't understand her choices sometimes? Sometimes she looks very pretty and sometimes she looks like an alien? What is up with her stylist?

What the?!

Not that Courtney Love was ever a the prom queen or anything, but she just looks strange! She looks like she is not well. I wonder how she has lost so much weight? I was saying that sarcastically in case you could not tell.

Happy Birthday Steve!

Happy Birthday to a the most wonderful guy I know! I Love you honey! I hope that you have a great day!
