1. First things first—let’s get this out of the way—you have a book that just came out, “The Collected Works of Noah Cicero.” I imagine this volume would be a good pick-up for anyone who wants to check your stuff out, get acquainted. Say something else about it. Also, aren’t…

Casey Kelly made this awesome cake with a quote from Stefan Sagmeister, aka every art student’s favorite designer ever, for a friend of hers and I can’t believe how awesome it is! A quote from her blog post about it: “Killed 2 birds with one stone on this one. It was my sister’s birthday so I baked her a cake. I wrote a quote by Sagmeister in gel on paper and superimposed it on an image of the blank cake first. Then I made it into a birthday design. And don’t worry, I didn’t put pull a Jack Horner… I used a knife.”

“When people talk about having a concept, they have no idea what they mean — they really just mean they have a start. It’s all about beginnings. Do you really need more than the first line, or could you just keep going over it for twenty years? I know I have.”

“As access to the Internet becomes more and more ubiquitous, knowledge workers that take-up most of the middle class are going to be readily available. The value of being able to do something anyone can do is going to diminish. On the other end, the value of your creativity is going to rise. In the very near future you’re going to have limited options: become a high-end professional of something very few people have mastered, do small work for small gains, or do something with your creative abilities (which can never be duplicated by another person).”

humancolour:

I’ve never felt more important than when I lived in New York. I was poor and my work was neither very good nor very well-read, and yet every day I’d wake up in my 10-by-10 room, its window looking out over my building’s rusted trashcans, and somehow think I’d achieved another great victory.

Here is what life is like in L.A.: We don’t spend our days inside museums, and surely some people will think that’s egregious. But what we do instead is wake up and take a hike, go to the farmer’s market, and sit on the back porch and watch the kids swimming in the pool or playing basketball with…

Exquisite Corpse by Andre Breton, Man Ray, Max Morise, and Yves Tanguy, ca 1927

One of the oldest Surrealist games is Exquisite Corpse. Fold the piece of paper into thirds (or as many sections as there are palyers). The first player draws a head and neck in the top section, extending the lines of the neck just below the fold, then folds it over and passes it to the next player, who continues the drawing without looking at what the previous player has drawn. The second player draws the torso, also extending the lines just below the fold, then passes it to the third player who draws the legs and feet. The final product is called the exquisite corpse. This game can also be played using collage instead of drawing, and online at Draw and Fold Over. Note: you don’t have to draw people! Your section of the picture can be anything you like, as long as it connects to the lines left for you by the previous player. For more information and ideas, visit ExquisiteCorpse.com
