I wish I could do that

Scott Wade creates amazing art out of dirty car windows! And he seems like a guy with a good sense of humour - check out his website to see more of his work, there's loads of it. A very talented man.

Text description from Scott's website.

Before:
TITLE: Poker Dogs: The Early Minutes
DESCRIPTION: This one begins a series, showing a drawing progressing from start to finish. Here's the 'raw canvas.'

After:
TITLE: Poker Dogs
DESCRIPTION: Here is the 'finished' piece. This is after working back into it twice. The first session took about 45 minutes, the second about 10 and the last about 5, so call it an hour in the making. See? I don't necessarily have too much time on my hands!

And this one's really cool. Very pretty.

TITLE: Wildflowers
DESCRIPTION: I was asked to demonstrate Dirty Car Art at the Courtyard Gallery in Robin's hometown of Cuero, Texas. Meanwhile, a TV crew from South Korea was following me around making a short documentary. They followed me down to Cuero and we had a pretty full weekend. Cuero (and Dewitt County) is known for wildflowers, so I thought it would be great to try some in dust. Wish I had done fewer, bigger. The vehicle belongs to my mother-in-law. Guarantee that's the dirtiest It's ever been.

Reminds me of the Joy of Painting programme, loved that. It was never obvious what he was painting so when you could finally see it emerge it was like magic!

Pollocks to that

If you're sitting at your desk, frustrated or needing a pick-me-up, then click on to this site and go Pollock-crazy. It proves one thing for sure - it's not as easy as it looks! Quite addictive though!

Here's my laughable attempt!

My first stumble

As I said, I have no patience and can't wait five mins to tell someone something mildly exciting or interesting. Well, it might just feel like that to me but it may interest someone out there!

I like random things and so, as I've said LOVE the stumble website, see below.

My first stumble led me to a slightly disappointing website from a design point of view, but was full of quotes from Albert Einstein, which you gotta love.

These are some of my faves.

Stumblin'

Honestly I love the internet! I love how you can go from one website to another, finding all these amazing and interesting things one after the other. It has the same effect on me as when I find a great bargain in a shop, and I'm not one to keep it to myself. I love to let people know what's about, which is why I set up this blog. I'm probably way behind on these things but it amuses me and I feel like I've made an amazing discovery!

This leads me to recommend a new website, StumbleUpon which I have yet to try out fully, but in true Lilly-fashion I have to tell immediately! It's great for peeps like me who love explorin' and discoverin'.

And you can say whether you like a site or not, which helps them get it right next time you stumble. The more you use it the better it gets - which is what they say. We shall see!

Piece of cake!

I love jewellery and I love cake so I can't go wrong with these little treasures. I came across meow-box whilst perusing Brick Lane market. They'd make great christmas presents, not that I'm hinting or anything...anyone?!

Favourite Website of the Week

This is possibly one of the best websites - ever! Last.fm lets you add all the artists you like to your music library once you have set up an account with them and once you've done that you can listen to all your favourite songs - how fab is that!? AND it recommends music you might also like. All for free! Tis truely a great site! I've been listening all morning!

Here's Johnny!

This is a brilliant take on how the Shining (one of my favourite films) trailer could have been. Goes to show how editing can completely change the meaning of something. Very funny, and yet disturbing if you know how the film goes. Highly recommend you go see it!
