Imagination

This is probably one of the coolest, inspirational things I've seen recently: Halo by Aissa Logerot
(found @ GetBuck, reblogged from CarLovely)

Just like you would shake a can of paint to keep it flowing, you shake this to recharge the light. I can't hardly contain my fascination with this. Simple things that, once revealed, are so dumb-foundingly brilliant and obvious.

Inspirational.

I've been spray painting a lot in my garage lately, on found canvases and found wood. By "a lot" I mean more than "not" which has been the status over the past three years. Mostly I'm just draining half-empty cans of junk paint, experimenting with any caps I have remaining, trying to regain any can-control I might have ever had (which doesn't say much). I've never enjoyed art so much as when I've had a can of paint in my hand. It's seriously the most satisfying art I've ever made. Unlike a tiny, pencil-like brush that involves slight movement of your wrist, aerosol paint involves full body movements and larger than life painting. Just don't forget your mask...
