nyc odyssey - the moma...

I never go to New York without popping into the MOMA.  Here are some highlights.  Starting with a little Picasso!  The depth of his work never ceases to amaze me.  (linocut)

etsy finds- stephanie corfee...

I noticed Stephanie Corfee recently over on Daisy Jane's etsy ticker. Oh my! It was an instant party for my eyes! I adore the use of all of this COLOR! Stop by her shop and check out her blog for downloadable art you can color up as you like.

jet stream - berlin...

It was twenty years ago that the entire world changed. The falling of the Berlin wall meant free passage to the west, the end of an era, and a city and country finally united. This week the world remembers and Berlin celebrates. Festivities will climax on November 9th, the official day the wall came down. The grand public party is rightly dubbed "The Festival of Freedom" and will take place at the famed Brandenburg Gate. Today's jet stream takes us to a few of the highlights of the new Berlin which is fast becoming a beacon for young artists.

jet stream - berlin: Haus der Kulturen der Welt...

Among the world's leaders for the development of contemporary arts, Haus der Kulturen der Welt offers groundbreaking exhibits from Europe and beyond. Look for “Dysfashional” next year.

jet stream - berlin: badeschiff ('bathing ship')

If you blink, you might think you are on the riviera. Fantastically beautiful people sipping drinks at the bar, a few of the loungers take a dip into the pool... However, its a long way from the beach. This is actually a former river barge turned pool anchored in the Spree River. After dark this posh must-be-seen spot turns into an even more post night club. In the winter, out come the saunas and the party continues.

Propeller Island City Lodge was created by a German artist named Lars Stroschen. Within the walls of this living installation, everything is handmade. Each of the 30 themed rooms are sure to take you to another place. If any rooms seem familiar, they are often used as sets for photo shoots.
