12 Shoes for 12 Lovers - sculptural footwear

"12 Shoes for 12 Lovers is a creative collection of sculptural footwear by New York-based Chilean designer Sebastian Errazuriz that is inspired by his past personal relationships. Each shoe boasts a unique design that reflects on a specific woman from his past. The twelve shoes are each titled after the ex-lover that inspired them and accompanied by a brief description of their relationship on his blog.

From the frosty "Ice Queen" Sophie to the sweet "Honey" Natasha, Errazuriz manages to recreate his relationships, which have since gone south, as wearable shoes. "The Boss" Rachel is even a multipurpose piece that works as both a high heel and a vicious weapon.

Though Errasuriz shares a few images of women standing in some of the shoes, there are plenty that seem quite impossible to actually walk in, like "Gold Digger" Alison or "Jetsetter" Jessica. However, the designer's intention lies beyond functionality. Instead, the series is a documentation of love, relationships, and personal vulnerability."

Sara Shor, russian illustrator

Sarah Shor (1897-1981)

... 

'Shor lived in Kiev and Moscow. A young woman at the time of the Russian Revolution, she tried her hand at various art styles of the day, cubism and constructivism among them, but her illustrations for tales and stories, especially for Cock And Bull Stories by I. Kipnis (1924), examples below, are most distinctive. Shor conveys the emotional actions of the stories with a minimum of fuss. The cat and Renard the fox have a complicated relationship here, sometimes friends, sometimes not. Children lead complicated lives, too. You know even before you read the title that the little girl climbing the ladder is The Imp, while the child washing the feet of the elderly woman has a hard life indeed.All the works shown here, save the last one, were made during the 1920s and all are from the collection of the Museum of Jewish Art & History in Paris. How they got there I do not know.'

Ane Brun - These Days

Very modest clip of Ane Brun. Only face of the singer and fiew lines dancing all over her face - like wrinkles or blood vessels. Enough.

Wiliam Faulkner's drawings from 1916-1925

'Before William Faulkner more or less defined the genre of Southern literature with his folksy short stories, tragicomic epic novels, and studies in the stream of damaged consciousness, he made a very sincere effort as a poet with a 1924 collection called The Marble Faun. Published in 500 copies with the assistance of his friend Phil Stone, who paid $400 dollars to get the work in print, Faulkner’s poetry did not go over well. Although later judgments have been kinder, the publisher called it “not really a very good book of poetry” and most of the print run was remaindered. The young Faulkner fared much better however with another of his early creative endeavors: art.'

Peter Meller - historician and graphic artist

"During his lifetime, Peter Meller was best known as an art historian, a highly regarded expert on the art of Renaissance Italy. Few people outside a small circle of friends and admirers knew that he was also a brilliant graphic artist. When he died in 2008, at the age of 85, he left behind thousands of drawings and prints, a body of work remarkable for its size but also for its overwhelming imaginative abundance, elegance, sophistication, and humor. His work had been exhibited only a few times in and around Santa Barbara, California, where he spent the last half of his life; he sold some prints and gave many away as gifts.  Since his death, the quality and significance of his achievement have begun to be appreciated by a larger audience."

Sky Ferreira - "Everything is Embarrassing"

Yep, but you should definitely invest in hairdresser, Sky.

Sky Ferreira american singer (and a  fashion magazines model ), born in 1992, raised in LA. Starting in Gospel music, now she searches for her musical identity, using elements of dance-pop, indie rock, country and soft ballads.

"The fact that there’s not too much going on here except a pair of guitars, a voice and a simple yet relatable set of lyrics is enough to keep my attention (and yours too), just to see what may linger beyond such a different choice for an EP start." (from wepluggoodmusic.com)
