<br />
Love how he plays with these shapes to make inanimate objects explode with exaggerated, colorful sculptures.<br />

<br />
I dedicate it to the lovely Natalia Provatas and her puppet mastery and overall puppet love. She may have even emanated from the little girl, screen right, in this photo.<br />
(at least in the glasses and elated expression).<br />

I don't particularly like cake, but that's not the point of this post. The point is that ice cream is joy. Pure joy. Which brings me to my latest reason to go on a trip to Europe - to visit this awesome new ice cream shop called <a href="http://www.eyescreamandfriends.com/" target="_blank">"Eyescream and Friends"</a> in Barcelona, Spain.<br />
<br />
From what I can tell, it's the Mad Men of self serving/self decorating frozen desserts. With a classy and economical cardboard tray for storing your ice cream (categorized by adorable anthropomorphic designs), two toppings, and the real kicker - two sugar eyes that add a sense of childhood to your meal (yes ice cream can be a meal), it's a surefire way to make your heart flutter.<br />
<br />
Overall, this shop screams perfection. Clean design, adorable marketing, customer customizable eating, and on top of all that - this is ice cream we're talking about!<br />
<br />
Enjoy. I'm going to go cry into my Los Angeles frozen yogurt bar now.<br />

<br />
I have to share my new favorite portfolio-platform and creative-housing-site (not actual houses but a place where images, video, and text can coexist) called <a href="http://www.behance.net/" target="_blank">behance</a>. I may be late to the party, but I haven't heard many people buzzing about this so I thought I'd spread the good word here.<br />
<br />
First off, it's an incredibly easy site to navigate and showcase your personal, creative work to a wide audience. I've been meaning to put together a reel for all my art direction stuff, but while I still have that on my bucket list it was easy to post my set photos <a href="http://www.behance.net/laurenmalizia" target="_blank">here</a> and get the majority of my work up onto a site for the world to see. Once you sign up you have the ability to "follow" (much like everything else in our socially connected world) artists and professionals in your field so you always get a fresh look at what others like yourself are doing in these fields. <br />
<br />
That being said, I bring to you tonight's lovely behance find; a man named <a href="http://dschwen.com/" target="_blank">David Schwen</a> who has captured America's <a href="http://www.behance.net/gallery/Pantone-Pairings/7360983" target="_blank">favorite pairs</a> and shaped them into an even more discernible fashion of Pantone swatches.<br />
I just got hungry for cake and ice cream. How about you?<br />

Most notably recognized for his portrait and landscape work, he spent the early parts of the 1930's assisting Man Ray in Paris before settling in London where his career as a photojournalist would evolve. Capturing the unusual aspects of the mundane London-living, his talent eventually lead him to publish two books and photograph for such London based magazines as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harper%27s_Bazaar" target="_blank">Harper's Bazaar</a>,<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilliput_(magazine)" target="_blank"> Lilliput,</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_Post" target="_blank">Picture Post</a>.<br />

According to <a href="http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/1343">MOMA</a>, his crowning artistic achievement which developed between 1945 and 1961 "is a series of nudes that are both personal and universal, sensual and strange, collectively exemplifying the "sense of wonder" that is paramount in his photographs." I personally love this series for the way he framed and captured the different shapes and shadows of the female body.</div>

An exhibition offering a deep dive into the pre and post-war photojournalism of Brandt will be available at the <a href="http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/1343">MOMA in New York starting March 6th-August 12th</a>. I recommend attending if you are a city dweller. I'm jealous I can't see his beautiful work up close and in person, so please enjoy it and brag about it's greatness back here on the PP when you're done.</div>

I found that I love this particular series of photographs even more now than I did upon first viewing. I love her outlook on these portraits and exploring what the 'self' means to her. Here is an excerpt from her <a href="http://nagone.com/" target="_blank">website </a>where you can see more of her work.<br />

This opening credits sequence from the 1964 Walt Disney feature "The Misadventures of Merlin Jones" featuring Annette Funicello and Tommy Kirk has only inspired me further to create more pieces like this! I've spent the last half hour grinning from cheek to cheek after watching these credits and reading more about the animation greats that are <a href="http://disney.go.com/disneyinsider/history/legends/bill-justice" target="_blank">Bill Justice </a>and <a href="http://disney.go.com/disneyinsider/history/legends/x-atencio" target="_blank">X. Atencio. </a> (below)<br />

<br />
Bill and X (Xavier) were both employed at the Walt Disney Company during the mid 1930's where they worked together on experimental pieces for Disney as well as stop animation shorts in "Mary Poppins"and "The Parent Trap" to give a few name droppers.<br />

<a href="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/disney/annette-by-kevin-kidney-75995.html" target="_blank">Cartoon Brew</a> put out this post a few days ago about <a href="http://miehana.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Kevin Kidney</a>'s paper doll artwork of TV/fim star and singer, Annette Funicello, who was diagnosed with MS in 1987. Kidney's <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/annettesplace/gifts#products" target="_blank">zazzle</a> site offers his paper doll artwork of Annette in a variety of cases, bags, pins, etc where all purchases go to the <a href="http://www.annetteconnection.com/" target="_blank">Annette Funicello Research Fund for Neurological Diseases</a>. I love seeing an artist extend his or her support in this way towards another artist, especially for such a great cause trying to fight this debilitating disease. <br />

Hope you enjoy this intro as much as I did :)</div>

He had quite a prolific life in photojournalism working for publications such as <i>Time, Life, Fortune</i>, and <i>The New York Times</i> magazines. His "caught-off-guard" approach to his subjects earned him respect in the photography field as he captured the lives of celebrities and common street folk alike. <br />
<br />
Shay has published more than 30,000 photographs during his career covering a range of subjects such as John F. Kennedy, Muhammad Ali, and Hugh Hefner.<br />
<br />
The subtleties he manages to capture in his photographs is really beautiful. Including the teeny little kitten in the "Be Kind Now" photo. See if you can spot it : )<br />
<br />
I'll be keeping a look out for when his work gets to the drkrm gallery!<br />

Found her via the <a href="http://www.mbart.com/artists/_Alex%20Prager/" target="_blank">M + B </a>gallery site. Her stuff has a really dark undertone, but the subjects are very artfully crafted with great color pairing and equally expressive lighting, especially in her "Compulsion" series with the eyes juxtaposed against tragic moments. Especially interesting to read below after living in LA for 3 + years now.<br />

Her thoughts on her work:<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
"<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">This series is to a great degree inspired by Los Angeles.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Los Angeles is a beautiful place. The magic is still here.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Everything is possible, but there is a very dark element here too. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">You can feel it when you've been here for a few months at a time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">The sky is always blue, the birds are always singing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">It's a strange picture of perfection, but there is this eerie monotony that creeps in after a while.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">I think it can slowly drive people crazy.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">That sense of unease under the surface of all this beauty and promise."</span></div>

So how lovely is this?! Norwegian artist, <a href="http://www.runeguneriussen.no/index.html">Rune Guneriussen</a>, has managed to bring the term "outdoor lighting" to a new level with the residents. 25,000 twinkle lights don't stand a chance, Clark.<br />

That is. I stumbled upon this fantastic looking ice cream shop located in Girona, Spain. Designed and executed by the talented<a href="http://www.sandratarruella.com/modulos/index.php" target="_blank"> Sandra Tarruella</a>, the shop combines Willy Wonka's switchboard gadgets with a Dexter's Laboratory curiosity. I love it! I want to go here! I want to hit all the buttons! I just hope the ice cream is as good as the look of this place. Enjoy :)<br />
