O My Friends and readers (who are friends I just haven’t met yet), I need your help. At 12:45pm Mountain Standard Time on Saturday May 26th 2010 I will be in front of a room filled with people who will expect me to have stuff to say about the interaction of bliggity blogging and faith. I’m so glad it’s a panel discussion with Marty Halverson, Natalie Holbrook,  Heather King , Kristen Howerton and Dallas Petersen. I am really looking forward to bouncing around this great topic with such great people.But before I get to talk to them about it, I’d love to talk to YOU about it. What do you say, will you bounce around the topic of blogging and faith with me?I’d love to hear your responses to any or all (if you have a lot of time on your hands) of these questions that strike you. Are you ready? Here it goes:How do you incorporate (or not incorporate) your faith into your blogging?What do you appreciate about how other bloggers address faith in their posts?What turns you off about how other bloggers address faith in their posts? (*No names, please!*)Do you regularly read blogs that represent a different faith than your own? Why or why not?Has blogging ever enriched your faith? How?Lastly, and most importantly, if Jesus had a blog, would it be on Blogger or WordPress?Happy CBC Week!

Alex Kopps..

I have always admired artists and people that can reclaim found objects and use them in their craft. I found Alex Kopp's website recently...thought you guys would enjoy these images as much as I did. There is a calm, tranquil feeling around them, then you get to the dollar bill suit. It's crazy how a cloth (dollar bills are made from cotton and linen.) can hold so much power.

Reader LOVE David Gomez..

Well, I wish I could tell you something about David Gomez, but I can't read Spanish. Normally, I always contact the artist...but it's late and when I stumbled on David's colored mugs of celebrities and other lovelies I just had to get these up. Plus, I am a sucker for anything Chloe Sevigny is involved in.

can't ever get enough of matthew feyld..

this is a tad bit on the early side...but i can't stand it. it's important that you see these now as matthew's pieces sellquickly...so best start savin' those pennies and gettin' a place inline now. matthew feyld's work is always so colorful, whimsical and oddly great, these new pieces are no exception. he's truly one of my favorite painters. matthew's got a show coming up at cinder's gallery in brooklyn on february 22nd w/ a few other folks. matthew is always updating his blog and flickr account w/ new work, be sure to stay tuned to those channels, as i'm sure there is more awesomeness coming our way.

Video This is Not a Place..

I got pretty mesmerized watching Isaac Gale & David Jensen's film This is Not a Place. Made on location at Justin Vernon of Bon Iver's Wisconsin studio. I keep replaying it over and over. A little bit about the film (that originally accompanied a show at XYandZ Gallery, in Minneapolis, MN):

Compiled over the past year, the duo's film work traverses the wilds of April Base, the Wisconsin studio of Bon Iver's Justin Vernon. Trundling through rich forest landscapes and ephemeral, sculptural environments, the films’ pure visual moments mesh with graceful digital effects, creating entangled shrines and smoke-filled twilights. At its root, the work deals with themes of space--both external and psychological.

$5 highlights

Being young and married certainly has its advantages. Larger tax break and automatic off campus housing aside, life is such an adventure at this stage and I feel blessed to have an amazing travel companion. However, it has also come with a fair share of obstacles. Boys can create some pretty smelly odors, and we do have to keep a close watch on our budget. This last factor is tough on me sometimes (read: all the stinking time) when I want things that I don’t need. Case in point: highlighting my hair since I was 15 years old has cost me approximately $1750. Ouch. Something had to be done but I REFUSE to quit cold turkey and have a straight line of bright blond v. roots growing out for the next dozen years.Solution one: dye my hair back to natural, boring, lame, generic “dirty blond”(professionally). Cost: $45 Result: My hair is exactly 28 shades darker than anything that naturally grows out of my head and my skin looks alabaster next to it. I start using a darker color of foundation.After 4 weeks of listening to me complain every morning about how “my hair does NOT look natural” and the fact that “it totally washes me out”, Dan conceives a possibly nightmarish situation:Solution two: we buy a boxed highlight kit and Dan becomes my life-long hair stylist. Cost: $5 on sale. Result: Not bad! He is so precise and meticulous about everything, and he did a pretty good job. The color of the highlights is a 7 on a scale of 10, but hey – for less than the cost of 2 grande chai tea lattes, I absolutely can’t complain.By the way, don’t tell Dan’s guy friends that he dabbles in hairstyling.
