Artists who cook

I've been so inspired by illustrators lately (and am always inspired by food) so this web discovery was perfect: theydrawandcook.com

Artists from around the world submit an illustration of their favorite recipe.  Here are some of my favorites:

I can get lost on this site for hours!

More posters for the kitchen

Claudia Pearson Tomato poster (Brooklyn)

Claire Neirem Winter Fruit poster (Los Angeles)

Jill Bliss The Onion, Beet, Carrot Art poster (Portland)

I took a trip to the farmers market today and I can't seem to get fresh produce + art for the kitchen out of my head.  These artists and their posters are some of my favorites.

Rifle Paper Co.

I'm loving this citrus print from Rifle Paper Co., illustrated by Anna Bond.  Actually, I love all of Anna Bond's illustrations.  This would look nice in a sunny kitchen.

Still in an autumn mood

"Mission Impossible" with Korean Subs

Not sandwiches.

My parents/roommates and I went out to the movies the other night and watched the new "Mission Impossible" at the relatively new Madang Courtyard mini-mall in Ktown.  The design of this place is based off traditional Korean design elements so I had fun taking pictures.  We watched the movie at the sleek CGV Cinema which is a South Korean theater chain now in L.A.  What's cool about this theater is that it screens Korean movies and American blockbusters with Korean subtitles.  Hence, I watched MI with Korean subtitles . . . but Korean subs would have been yum.

Found on the street

Hi, my name is Linda and I'm a dumpster diver/garbage picker/branch hoarder.  Hi, Linda.

I just can't help it.

I found this guy at the park after the crazy Santa Ana winds last month.

I'm going to repaint this guy and use it as storage.

Hi.

Not pictured are some milk crates I found on the curb that I promptly washed with hot water and disinfectant.  Yes!

Happy 2012!

Happy 2012!  I can't believe the new year is upon us.  I'm looking forward to all the good that lies ahead . . . and slowly learning to become more resilient in the face of adversity and change.
