PRESTIDIGITATION.

Im not sure what the word means, but its a great blog. A glimpse into the mind of May Allen, its an inspired collection of unique finding, and some of her own creations. A few of my favorite posts include "Craft" and "2002 Pilgrimage Sketches" (especially the ones drawn in the rain).

My Childhood.

My sister (Samira) and I realized the other day that eating taco truck tacos in the back of my dad's Oldsmobile was one of our earliest memories. I wonder what this says about our upbringing, and our current state as adults? I can vividly recall a carne asada soft taco from when i was four, but not a whole lot more from that time in my life.

Dane Reynolds.

This was made by one of my favorite surfers, Dane Reynolds. It looks like its a photograph of a collage made during a trip in France, probably during a competition. I really like the black and white photos (look closely, some are really great pictures) and the nonchalant way the whole thing was put together.

Renegade.

I just remembered Kern's is the best juice ever.

One Mans Teenage Time Capsule.

I think i was doing a google search for Manresa beach once, and somehow came across this guys website "Pictures of My Past..." with pictures from his teenage years growing up in the bay area in the late 70s early 80s. Its always kind of haunting/nostalgic to see old pictures, especially old pictures in places youve grown up in. This is a virtual time capsule of this guys early life. Some of my favorite categories are "My 16th birthday" and "Hi-4H Beach Party".

Tiny Meat.

I came across Tiny Meat at Maker Fair in San Mateo this past weekend. They make wallets and passport cases out of pictures that have essentially been sandwiched between two layers of clear vinyl. Very durable and unique. I bought the wallet pictured above.
Check out their Etsy store:

Melanie the King.

Melanie King is one of my favorite local artists. A great aesthetic, and a great belief in the principles behind her artwork.
