“There’s Always Money in the Banana Stand” [Art Exhibit]

Jun 26. 2012

I love the melding of pop culture and fine art. I especially have a fondness for art that features my favorite fictional characters — whether from books, television, or movies. For instance, my 3-year wedding anniversary will always hold a special place in my heart because J took me to catch South Park‘s 15th Anniversary Art Exhibit.  :mrgreen:

If you’re like me and live in the Los Angeles area, you’re in luck. Because Gallery1988 Melrose will be holding a special group art show that pays tribute to one of my all-time favorite television shows, Arrested Development. The aptly-named “There’s Always Money in the Banana Stand” exhibit opens June 29th, 2012, with an opening reception from 7-10 pm, and will run through July 21, 2012. Check out these teasers which were posted in Gallery1988’s blog:

Stately Sandwiches

Jun 06. 2012

Here’s one for all the foodies — as well as those who have deep connections to their home states.

The Stately Sandwiches Project, started by design student Kelly Pratt, seeks to choose a sandwich that represents each of the 50 states.

It will be quite a delicious journey across the US. Before I make each sandwich I do research on the Internet, call local sandwich shops, ask foodies on twitter and check out a few books to be sure I do my best to properly represent a state.

So far, the project is only 12 states in, but Ms. Pratt has done a beautiful job of choosing, deconstructing, and photographing each sandwich on the list. Check them out below!
