Hello fellas!

It goes without saying – Pinterest is a social juggernaut that’s here to stay. As an artist you should definitely take advantage of it, and as you’ll see in a bit some people are mastering the art of pinning. Today I bring you some of the finest pinners on the block . These artsy gals have so much eye candy you’ll get visual cavities – if such thing exists.

First in line: Capree Kimball - an absolute design power house! This crazy pinner (yes, she must be crazy, otherwise how can she pin so many great finds on a daily basis?!) is a freelance blogger and contributor for design sites like Curbly and Wantist. Oh,did I also mention she’s the Managing Editor for Dog Milk? – yah, I’m a bit jealous (the good kind of course).

Next stop: Kate Singleton - founder of Buy Some Damn Art and Art Hound (both are part of my list of favorite sites). If you guessed her pinterest account is filled with an arsenal of color and inspiration – then you guessed correctly. She also uses her expertise to curate other great boards; fashion, interior design and tattoos are all included.

My 3rd featured pinner is Cariann Burger - aside from being an awesome friend and all round rad girl – she’s also the right side of the brain in Cargoh and one of the organizers of Gather. Her interior design experience and love for all things creative has made her a pinning machine – seriously, like the Robocop of Pinterest – only that she’s from Reno…and she doesn’t wear batteries.

Now it’s Norah Guignon‘s turn. Does the site Curate 1K ring any bells? Of course it does! Ok, for those of you who haven’t heard any ringing in your head yet – Norah’s site is all about affordable art, every week she brings a new collection that never exceeds the $1000 mark. Her pinterest account is just as smart – so wonderfully curated.

Last but not least – Lena of Konfetti, a Scandinavian blog that’s so stylish it hurts. I think it’s the water over there because seriously, I have yet to see a blogger on that region of the world that’s not design savvy. I bet you their 1st baby word is “ma-ma-minimal”. Lena has an extensive collection of beautiful pins that range from DIY to graphic design and more. Enjoy!

Alrighty – that is it for today! I know, it’s addicting. If you have any good pinners you want to suggest or if you want to connect with others, leave a comment below! Happy humpday all :)

Yes. Minerals. My devotion. My obsession. Oddly enough I just re-started a new mineral collection (I say re-start because I did have one when I was a kid and it got packed in some box and never saw it again). The new collection has crystals donated by my kind friends.

While we are on the topic of minerals, take a look at these fantastic, UNREAL pictures by Carly Waito (make sure to keep reading after the images)

Ok now back to me. So, these aren’t photographs, these actually are PAINTINGS!!! Mother F*&#@!!! I mean seriously, how can one not be depressed when all you can draw are stick dummies and you see people like Carly that have alien-like talents creating stunning art. Unreal. The things humans can achieve with oil paint and masonite.

Carly. I have no words right now. So I made you a video:

That’s right.

Some purple-y hued images that is.

Here,  5 pics from my Pinterest  {are we friends in there? add me!}  Enjoy them!

Wow. What a day, Japan was hit by 2 earthquakes along with Cuba {a minor one though} . These type of events are always a wake up call of “HEY what are you doing right now?” cuz you know, the next second you might be gone.

The positive side of it; reevaluate your priorities in life- money and properties – washed away in a second. Love and friendship – forever lasting.

As this is a bit of a grey day I want to get some color going. These are some of my favorite Pinterests of the week. A reminder that there’s plenty of beautiful things in this world…
