Fur Kids

Animal Planet's show, Must Love Cats, did a segment on John who has handmade $10,000 worth of walkways, stairways, and cozy living areas for his cats that connect all over and through the rooms in his house. Not only do his woodworking skills show beautiful and creative craftsmanship but also a fantastic spectacle of devotion to his family of cats known as the Fur Kids. I think this guy and his house are just amazing.

Objectified

The documentary Objectified talks about design in everyday life, how every single thing is in some way designed, and really makes you think about the world in a different way. We watched this movie in one of my classes and if you ever get the chance I highly recommend this film.

Tim Burton: Vincent

Tim Burton's stop-motion film Vincent is such a genius piece with morbid humor. I hadn't seen it before going to the Tim Burton exhibit at LACMA since it is one of his earlier works, but it really left an impression on me.

"He doesn't mind living with his sister, dog, and cats, though he'd rather share a home with spiders and bats."

Wildflower Photography: Up inspired wedding

Wildflower photography is known for their amazing shoots, and especially for their engagement and wedding photos. This wedding is especially great, the creative theme based on Pixar's Up had a beautiful love story and was a wonderful concept for a wedding theme. I really think this whole idea and photography style is amazing.
