Darlin' Man

Happy Birthday to Dave.  He's kinda the bee's knees.  He's got nice eyes.  Bats like him.  I love him.

Yes, believe it or not, these are paintings of cactus.  Phenomenal.

Werner Herzog, I love you.

Do yourself a favor and see this flick.  (courtesy of Netflix...)  A documentary about the nature of obsession, Dr. Graham Dorrington, a visionary scientist and aeronautics expert, has designed a helium-filled airship for the purpose of exploring the Guyanese rainforest canopy. But Dorrington's motivations are not entirely scientific: A friend's death -- which occurred years earlier during a similar experiment -- still haunts him, driving him to atonement. 

Other rad movies Werner Herzog has either directed or been in:
  • Encounters at the End of the World 
  • On the Ecstasy of Ski-Flying
  • Wheel of Time
  • Mister Lonely 
  • Julian Donkey Boy
  • Grizzly Man
  • My Best Friend, Klaus Kinski

Ernst Haeckel

Art Forms in Nature



The amazing Ernst Haeckel (1834 - 1919) was a German biologist and artist who discovered thousands of new species, illustrating them along the way.  I love his drawings.   

Somewhere

I've been a fan of Sofia Coppola since The Virgin Suicides and her new flick, Somewhere, looks beautiful!
