Beet Cake

If all recipes came in the form of gorgeous videos like this, I would probably cook a lot more often.

summa time

I normally try to keep my work life separate from my personal blog...except when I get to make things at work that I'm just so excited to share. Like when I got to make this video lookbook shot by my main squeeze and starring the delightful Katie Horwitch. And soundtrack by White Sea? It doesn't get any better than this, right? Bring it on, summer!

swoon

I feel so lucky to spend most of my days in near proximity to an unbelievably talented dude. My boyfriend is a constant source of creative inspiration. It was quite a sight to see our makeshift office in the spare bedroom of his parent's house in Montana, both huddled over our laptops, oblivious to the beautiful snow that was falling outside. All his hard work paid off, because this music video for friend's band Broken Remotes turned out to be a real stunner.

dream landscapes

I'm buried in work and trying to prepare for the holidays. If you're stressed and spread thin, too, this stunning video shot by Anthony Crook with a soundtrack by Mogwai is the perfect thing to soothe your frazzled mind. The Norwegian landscapes are almost as unbelievable as the feat of cyclist James Bowthorpe, the round-the world champion cyclist who broke the previous record by twenty days.

we still miss you.

let's have a toast.

Are you stuck working on Thanksgiving Eve? Yeah, me too...

But maybe this will cheer you up. Love the color palette and textures in Kanye's Runaway video. (Sometime I'll have the attention span to watch the full-length version.)

cultivating heritage in a "what's next" culture

Animated short by Christian Borstlap demonstrates the translation of heritage and history in a fast-fashion, digital age obsessed with the here and now. In the words of Goethe, "Make a better future by developing elements from the past."

virtual nostalgia

this will blow your mind,

I guarantee it.
