don't you just love it when really nice people turn out to be really talented artists?

i just met the lovely jillian kliewer via my new gig as west coast culture director for the standard hotels (namedrop much?) and i've gotta tell you, i'm totally chuffed to discover her work. when she said "i'm an artist, i paint llamas" i was relatively pressed to think of a witty comeback but then i realized actually nothing matches this as an occupation. and check her work? um, hello? how cool is this? word up jillian, here's a big-up bravo to you and your llamas!!

schjeldahl on malevich...

my all-time favorite writer peter schjeldahl tells it like it is in a recent profile for the new yorker on polish artist kazimir malevich. i've been repeating the last sentence over in my head for a few hours now, the perfect end to such a poignant piece of work - and i quote - "attaining a sort of exit velocity, his pictures send imagination tumbling into heady infinity." trop fort!!! to read the condensed version of the article go HERE
