Jan Garbarek & Trilok Gurtu at the Parc Floral - Paris

Last Sunday was the first day of the Paris Jazz Festival at the Parc Floral. For the opening of the festival, everything was just perfect: sunny but not too hot, not very crowded, the sound was just fine...

This is Komplot!

Komplot is a design company based in Denmark. It was created by designers Poul Christiansen and Boris Berlin.  


One of their works that really called my attention is the Nobody chair collection. 

Do you REALLY understand the Internet and its possibilities?

What to see in Iceland?

This video is from the website Inspired by Iceland and I really recommend it, even if you're not planning any trip to Iceland.

You can listen to Icelandic music (I really liked Bloodgroup and their song My Arms) or even watch live some sites from webcams. Special attention to the strange Blue Lagoon, a natural thermal spa.

Got inspired?

Born Ruffians - What To Say

From the Canadian group Born Ruffians. Perfect for this sunny Friday here in Paris. What else to say?





Wishing you all a great weekend!

Dream Hunters

Neil Gaiman is definitely one of my favourite writers. Not only his stories feed my own creativity in a very high level, the drawings on his books and comics are remarkable. And by being a great fan of Gaiman's work, I get to know some great illustrators, like the well-known Dave McKean or Mike Dringenberg.

This time I want to talk about one of these artists in particular:Yoshitaka Amano. He is Japanese, and I love his ability to translate so much culture and beauty into his drawings. He worked with Neil Gaiman in the book The Dream Hunters, a tale of a fox, a monk, love, a forest and some bad guys. And, of course, about him, Dream. Well, check out here a few pictures from the book. I hope I'll inspire anyone who never read it to do it promptly!

Scary Monsters

Here are a few drawings made by a television director called John Kenn. Apparently he has a very busy life with his work and family, but in his spare time he draws monsters on post-its. I really like his work and idea (when you transform something that is ordinary and meaningful only to yourself - often ending up forgotten in a litter bin, in the case of drawings we make in small pieces of paper - into something that you can share with people like you and me, who might really appreciate spending time taking a look at someone else's time-killers).

Visiting Les Frigos

A few photos I took inside the mysterious Parisian building Les Frigos, during last weekend when the place was open to the public.

This first one in particular is from the French artist Dominique Cozette. I was amazed with her work, and now that I've found her web page and blog, now that I know a little more about her, I am enchantée. You can take a look at her web page (at your own risk of falling for her like I did).
