Print is not dead: Anthology

Anthology is
"a new quarterly shelter and lifestyle print magazine that takes a narrative approach to its coverage of home décor, travel, design, entertaining, and culture. We envision the magazine as a collection of stories shared with readers."

Here is there stop motion trailer launching the explaining how PRINT is not dead and (ironic that they chose a different medium than print to explain it, but a good advertisement nonetheless)

Another magazine out there i am interested in is standard magazine. they are eco-friendly in a less preachy way, which i love. You can read there full magazine online. I think i would want to set up a magazine company like this one day.

This...

Will turn into...

THIS! 

We went to the freedom fest in Provo, UT for our independence day and got sidetracked with the sword booth. I am thinking that it will turn into LARPing.

  As we went through all the boring headband booths, we meet and chatted with this cool potter. Robert Graydon specializes in Raku Pottery.

He uses a pit fire; he buries a group of unglazed pots in a pits, covers them with saw dust, wood, and some ashes, then lights the pile on fire and leaves it to burn for 12 to 24 hours.

Those are some pretty cool results.

The horse hair method involves taking the same type of pots hot out of a kiln and throwing horse hair on the hot pots. The hair shrivels up and burns black lines onto the white pottery. (I stole all this info from his site of course)

Anyway, i think when anything is not massed produced it carries so much more meaning. That is why i love the process, the individual results of each unique item, and the artist who decided to chase his passion and not his pension. The world needs more artists and less bankers.

blast from the past

We went to the only asian store in town...so i could get some good candy. of course i got the usually "hello panda" and "yan yan," but i had no clue how much the yan yan would make bob laugh. They are delicious long cookies you dip into frosting and in addition to that good stuff, they are described on the box by having "fun lines" written on them.

"Stag beetle--love it," probably was our favorite.They used to remind me of my childhood, but now i will always think about how much fun they were with Husband. Mouse--do not be timid.

altogether, yan yan was a big treat!
