I like big boats…

and I cannot lie.

A lovely image by Stuart Klipper available on 20×200 today:

The penguin overkill of recent years may make this a bit cutesy at first glance, but I think it works beyond that. Although maybe I just like pretty red boats.

I saw this picture last week and haven’t been able to get it out of my mind. I’m the last person to ever glamorize suicide, but this image, as it is as an image, is incredible in the truest sense of the word–challenging my sense of what is or can be.

Photo by Robert Wiles, from LIFE Magazine, 1947. Evelyn McHale had jumped off of the Empire State Building, clutching her pearl necklace.

I wish I could credit this photographer properly, but my lack of Japanese skills prevents that. This photos were borrowed from this site. They are incredible.

Creepy animal paintings and moody chandelier lighting at the Langham hotel in Pasadena.

Calendars are usually purchased in December or January, as resolutions are fresh and the ideas of new beginnings inspire optimism. This one seemed perfectly suited to my new year’s needs: crazy scientists, climbers, runners, experimenters, volcanos and metal structures… See for yourself:

And the calendar itself is perfectly tiny in comparison. I found this little letterpressed inspiration at oddball press.

Great big thanks to Jessica for providing today’s eye candy:

There’s the jacket (above), and the actual book cover, front and back (below).

Not to mention the inside cover…

This was an awesome surprise gift to get in the mail! I love it.
