My Own Bloody Valentine

Time to throw another party. This one's great because it involves good music and creepiness (like a Halloween event in February, which is really the best thing I could ever get myself involved in.)

I'm stoked to start on all the particulars. I'm making a playlist with my friend Will, and am trying to find the time to think of creepy love songs. "Don't Fear the Reaper" comes to mind. "I'll Follow You to the Dark"...But I need some upbeat ones too...More to follow as I get more inspired (or less busy, which is unlikely.)

I'm stoked to see what people wear. The more inappropriate, the better, in my opinion. Sid & Nancy, Ike & Tina, etc. Blood is much appreciated.k

Bonus: I made the above flier. I'm novice-face at this kind of thing, but really enjoy it, so figured I'd share :)

I was recently introduced to the work of Jason de Caires Taylor and am fascinated. Marine scientists have been manufacturing artificial reefs in our sea beds to supplement the lacking occurance of natural reefs in recent years (due to a number of human-induced behaviors.) Taylor uses materials that will suffice as artificial reefs but creates sculptures out of them.

His work is a mix of art and science, and provides art lovers a unique gallery experience (or snorkelers an artistic experience?).

A snorkeler goes to the art show.

There's something almost couture about these ladies.

Aging. Amazing.

I think he'll get there.

I'm going to continue exploring this guy and try to write a real profile on him in the future. It's the most unique experience, even via the photographs, to watch these pieces age, deteriorate, and begin to meld into their new netherworld. It humanizes the sea and forces the natural order to be acknowledged.

Brilliant.
