“The message of TV is that everything’s going to be OK. The lesson of modern fiction is that things are not going to be OK, and the lesson of poetry is that life is beautiful but you’re going to die.”

“If anywhere in your travels you come on a man with guts, mark the place. I want to go see him. I haven’t seen anything but cowardice and expediency. This used to be a nation of giants. Where have they gone?”

UK illustrator Chrissie Abbott

Baptiste Debombourg made this mural (Air Force One) of Icarus with 35000 staples. Debombourg’s works derive from the relationship he draws together between everyday things and his experiences with art. For the most part his works are sculptural, but he also creates performances, drawings, photographs, and videos. The diversity of means and materials relates to the way he creates artistic tropes out of ephemeral matter — slave objects we use and throw away, like packing material Styrofoam and cardboard, shopping catalogs, cigarette butts, staples — and support materials — the things we take for granted, like walls, security glass, and furniture, which he treats as if they were precious.

spring fever

"It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!" ~ Mark Twain

''Go after her. Fuck, don't sit there and wait for her to call, go after her because that's what you should do if you love someone, don't wait for them to give you a sign cause it might never come, don't let people happen to you, don't let me happen to you, or her, she's not a fucking television show or tornado. There are people I might have loved had they gotten on the airplane or run down the street after me or called me up drunk at four in the morning because they need to tell me right now and because they cannot regret this and I always thought I'd be the only one doing crazy things for people who would never give enough of a fuck to do it back or to act like idiots or be entirely vulnerable and honest and making someone fall in love with you is easy and flying 3000 miles on four days notice because you can't just sit there and do nothing and breathe into telephones is not everyone's idea of love but it is the way I can recognize it because that is what I do. Go scream it and be with her in meaningful ways because that is beautiful and that is generous and that is what loving someone is, that is raw and that is unguarded, and that is all that is worth anything, really.''

"The love that we will never make together is the most beautiful, the most violent, the most pure, the most heady."

(Serge Gainsbourg)

lehel kovacs

Just stumbled across Lehel Kovacs work. Lehel is a freelance illustrator based in Budapest, and his hand-drawn line works are usually combined with digitally created colors (he also makes screen prints). In one online interview, when asked how he got started in design, Lehel answers "When I was a kid I just loved the taste of pencils, so that was a first impression which made me fall in love with it and it's still my favorite medium to work with."

Illustrated with technical pen, frame by frame. Created by Parkour, a graphic design degree student living in Singapore.
