White Out

Danielle de Lange over at The Style Files came across this seriously white-heavy home in London. She's a looker:

SXSW Preview - Micah P Hinson

My favorite week of the year (hands down) begins next Wednesday in Austin. Can not wait. Check out Mr. Hinson if you're in town:

Rivets

Derringer

The neo-classical interpretation of a 1920's era board track racing motorcycle that can be pedaled as a traditional bicycle, propelled via engine power, or pedaled with the assistance of engine power. Capable of fuel economy ratings that can exceed 150 mpg, Derringers were specially designed to conform with the legal classification of a motorized bicycle and, in their standard configuration, do not require the motorcycle license endorsement that is necessary to operate scooters and mopeds in most states. One of these may be in my future.

Dwell Revamped

Images from the train yard from a new blog called A Time to Get. They look like art to me:

Highways and Dreams Forever Together

I saw Son Volt for the umpteenth time last night and they were better than ever. Jay Farrar is a criminally overlooked songwriter. Check em out on this tour if at all possible. From "Highways and Cigarettes":

Highways and dreams forever together
In the minds of the free and the innocent
Always a future in the travelers hands
Startin' fires on the river of madness

Still out there with the coffee stains and puttin' miles on shoes
Can't escape the smell of cigarettes, still livin' out these American late-night blues

Nickel

I actually wrote a little ramble to accompany this graphic, but my words might not suit all your eyes and ears, so I'm gonna save them for another time and place:

Les Illustrations de Lapin

Monsieur Lapin says that "with a fluid and vibrating line, I draw my everyday life. The base of my compositions is a collection of faces, objects, sensations, and moments" - most of which are drawn into his trusty pocket notebooks. This guy's good.
