We should all be as outgoing as Nathan Sawaya.
Nathan known for his amazing Lego sculptures was at one point a lawyer.
He left his position to focus on his true passion: ART
It is said that Nathan has well over 1 million Lego's at his disposal for creative works.
Some of my favorites from Nathan...the "Brick Artist"

Not too long ago I spoke about illustrator Jo Ratcliffe I am fan of his work, and since it's been awhile I thought I would re-visit him.
His work is Cool, its Sophistcaed, Sexy, and Fun!
I can only imagine the new projects he's working on.

I just cant get enough of this woman!
I really admire & slightly envy her! This is a woman that is wearing Couture...wearable ART.
She makes it work, she owns her look.
That is what confidence is about! OWNING your look.
*Hell that's what Life's about... OWNING YOU!
Going through one of my FAVORITE magazines...(sorry, but this one is a secret) I began reading an interview and discovered one COOL chick: Aurel Schmidt.
Schmidt, born and raised in Canada can best be described as a mis-fit. Wearing over-sized glasses, hailing from a trailer-park and not too well received or encouraged by her pa-rentals, this 25 y/o ditched Canada and headed for Vancouver. There she dived into the art scene and the rest is history.
Here are some images from her book: Burn Out "This series focuses on the profane, icky, neglected and overlooked objects of daily life"
While grotesque, its fascinating as well.

*They look so life-life online, I can only imagine how they look in person!

I was over at July Stars and was BLOWN away by her post on Photographer: Neil Krug.
I started my own dig and the imagery is quite beautiful.

PRINTS @ $24.00 each!
SUGAR LUXE has all kinds of flirty, feminine accessories as well. From compacts, card holders & key fobs...stack your coins
