Sneak Peek: Scott Tolleson
Sunday, October 4, 2009 at 11:18AM 
If my mattress wasn't directly on the floor of my room and my closet actually had a door on it, I imagine that these would be the mischievous creatures that lurk there!
Rivet Gallery is yet again bringing us another delightful show, this time featuring the magical work of Alberto Cerriteno and Scott Tolleson, and while all of the work is fantastic, I am particularly in love with Scott's small wooden, hand painted sculptures.
Take a look at some more of these guys, below:
The world needs more whimsy and I'm hard pressed to think of anything more pro-whimsy then these colorful, squat little creatures. The show runs through October 31st - head on over and check out the pieces and maybe bring home a sweet little monster of your very own!

Decor: Empire Beverage Dispenser

Title: Empire Beverage Dispenser
Details: 34"H x 8.5W (holds 1.5 gallons) Glass with glass dispenser
Price: $69.95
Where: Zgallerie
Listen, I'm as hermity as the hermitiest hermit, but all the excellent Halloween tableware and decor out there is tempting me to force a party with absolute strangers if I have to. Or maybe I'll just fill it with cranapple juice and sit back and enjoy some Family Guy in style.
Either way, this exquisite glass dispenser is the height of party elegance and no self respecting host should throw a bash without one - nothing says "I like my Mountain Dew sexy!" like this little beauty.

White Agate Medallion/Cameo Necklace with Sparrow Bird
As I've stated before, when I'm not out doing superhero work, I can generally be found lounging around in sweats and oversized sweaters, cursing roundly at things on tv and just generally being somewhat dude-ly.
But every great once in awhile I come across something lovely and feminine and the urge to toss out my wife beaters and run out and get a pedicure and some Celine Dion records overwhelms me.
(Well, possibly not the last part, but I was reaching for another example of femininity and that's all I had. Clearly, I have made my point.)
So anyways, I was hitting my usual online favorites today and came across some lovely necklaces that I wanted to share with you, bots and Random Guy, in case your feminie wiles rise up and demand adornment!

Decor: Wooden Ipod/Iphone Cases
Thursday, October 1, 2009 at 9:45AM 
Wowzers. I'm not much for electronics, but I'm a human being so of course I own an Ipod (but not an Iphone, much to the confusion of my best friend and my boyfriend), so naturally with my fondness for natural materials being what it is, these thrilled me to no end!
Brought to you by Vers (the company who also created stylish wooden speakers and ipod docks) these beauties come in a beautiful assortment of woods and stains to please every eye[pod].
Now, whenever I read "eco-friendly" I usually want to strangle someone for using the term as device to make yuppies feel better about some overpriced thing they want to be assured is okay to buy, but I checked out their lengthy and detailed mission statement and appreciated what I saw there.
Below is a brief introduction to their mission:
Without a doubt, the creation of any mass-produced product requires the use of resources and energy to manufacture, transport and manage throughout their useful lives – which resources, how much energy and the length of a ‘useful life’ are where big differences can be made to reduce the total impact that a product makes on the world. Could you craft a more beautiful, better sounding system with LESS impact to the environment at the same time? We thought so, and it’s been the driving passion behind Vers from day one – to be better in every way imaginable."
If you have any interest, I encourage you to read the statement and see what they're about.
I don't imagine I'll be buying one as, in typical fashion, I'd prefer a toy or some such thing, but I think they're just lovely and I like to look at them.

$50 + shipping
I know that there are a handful of artists on this site that get a lot of heavy press from me because, well, frankly, I ADORE them and (this is a big "AND"), they rank amongst a rare few who are active in sharing peeks and tid bits on a regular basis to their fans and collectors.
My beloved Brandi Milne is one of these sharing-is-caring artists and once again she owes me a brand new pair of socks because the last pair I had on packed up it's suitcase and moved out claiming "Wreckless Endangerment" everytime I visit Brandi's site.
Brandi has issued a brand new print with a fantastic bonus for the first 20 orders and they're just so fun it's giving me the shakes! Every aspect of Brandi's process is meant to delight and bring a smile to her collector's faces and for these beauties she has added a special touch in having the mini-print delivered in a lovely little trick or treat bag "for your eye candied pleasure!".
So, if you're interested, head on over to her shop and pick up this darling little set before they're all gone!

Holy Crap: Greg Simkins
Thursday, October 1, 2009 at 8:37AM 
Artist: Greg Simkins
Title: The Genie
Details: Acrylic on Canvas
Where: "Son of Baby Tatooville", October 4th - November 21, 2009
I'm not typically a big fan of the new direction that Greg's work has taken (i.e. dark, still life with a high contrast color palette), but this piece really grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me around a bit. I love everything about it, plus, it has stripes and all you need to do is pretty much slap stripes on anything and I'll be manic over it, so this is pretty close to perfection for me!
