Loved Sandra Kobin's insightful take on the NFL's punishment of Michael Vick.

Read the article here on Women's ENews, a site I link to all the time.

I like her stuff. Check it out.

I read alot of design blogs during the day and envision all the possibilities and diy projects that I never have time for. I keep a folder of ideas for "my next house". I love the wide range of art and new artists that I'm exposed to while doing all this, uh, research. Like Jaime Zollars. Her work is whimsical without being overly cutesy. I particularly like this piece below called "Homecoming".

I also discovered Julie Knoblock today. Her Etsy store is called Tummyache. Though I'm not quite as impressed by the execution, her work really appeals to the my sense of humor. I thought about getting this one for Frankie, but then wondered if it was too twisted for a two year old's room.

And finally, check out Matte Stephens and his 60's/70's-rrific pop art.
