I am embarrassed on at least twenty occasions a day and nothing wonderful ever happens. Just pick myself up, laugh it off and try to hide my tomato red cheeks.

plentyotoole: Um, can we please talk about how sick this is? I’ve been over the Fairey treatment for a while but this is so amazing - &amp; I’m pretty sure it’s really only because Peter Dinklage is fine as hell. (Taken with instagram) coolest.

What they did not want you to ever find out is that your generation, the generation born between 1980-1995, actually outnumbers the Baby Boomers. They knew that if you ever turned your eye towards political reform, you could change the world. They tried to keep you sated on vapid television shows and vapid music. They cut off your education and fed you brain candy. They took away your music and gave you Top Ten pop stations. They cut off your art and replaced it with endless reality shows for you to plug into, hoping you would sit quietly by as they ran the world. We as a society are only as strong as our weakest link. Give ‘em hell, kids.

jenbekmanprojects: Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon | Buy the limited-edition art on 20x200.com here. In the newsletter, Charlie writes: Today’s edition, and the book it came from, all originated from a list of 10 principles Austin wished someone had shared with him when he was first starting out. Eager to share his list with everyone (as he is with all his work, including “deleted scenes” and his sketchbook), he turned his pointers from a talk to college students into a blog post (which quickly went viral), and eventually into a book. It wasn’t long before Steal Like an Artist became his second New York Times bestseller.
