Megan Geckler creates fantastic spaces and patterns using brightly colored construction flagging tape. Now that’s what I call pushing a medium. The installations are striking on their own but the amount of time involved in their creation is mind boggling. [via Design Milk]

When little Aiden toddled up our daughter Johanna and asked to play with her Elmo ball, he was, admittedly, very sweet and polite. I think his exact words were, “Have a ball, peas [sic]?” And I’m sure you were very proud of him for using his manners. To be sure, I was equally proud when [...]

I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist the pun. A famous art dealer has been accused of defrauding his A-list clients and will likely be sentenced for up to 18 years as a result. Salander, 61, was arrested in March 2009 and pleaded guilty earlier this year to stealing $120 million from clients and investors including tennis [...]

At the downtown Seattle Art Walk this month, I was blown away by the urban landscapes of Christopher Hoff on display at the Linda Hodges Gallery. Thankfully, Christopher is as gracious as he is talented and I was able to pull him away from his art just long enough to meet up, grab some photos, [...]

I first met Wenarto at our gym last summer and it quickly became apparent that he was a “one man wrecking crew” of creativity. He paints, sings opera on YouTube, cooks, drinks and does Crossfit – and then he gets up and does it all over again. Where most artists have fear their creative output [...]

This morning I’m bringing you a new discovery (for me anyways) of a live in-studio performance that took place at KEXP earlier this month. Fans of orchestral rock like Fleet Foxes and Bright Eyes should dig it. It’s ethereal and orchestrally variegated while maintaining passion and song-writing focus. When the vocals come it at about [...]

Just in time for Tracy Boyd’s guided tour on Friday (see my invitation to TPN fans here), The Seattle Art Museum (SAM) has just announced that they will now allow photographs to be taken from within the main collection halls -something which has always been a strict no-no (just ask my fiancee Jan how sneaky [...]
