Girls Who Code makes its way into a mobile game.
I’m a huge fan of Jeremy Geddes’ “Distraught Cosmonauts” series. I might even have made screensavers of his art. His latest work “Foundation” was recently made available on December 4th. It was a timed release and the moment is past but what a beauty. [sigh]
That Automata genius Jason Alleman has now made a Cookie Icing Machine. Finally, something useful.
New embroidered leaves by artist Hillary Fayle are tiny exquisite things of beauty.
This is so cool and so sweet, you have to scroll through this. Stormtroopers helped a family put up their Christmas tree. [With more images here.]

I conducted an independent project, which evidently turned into a social experiment halfway through, regarding beauty at my performing arts high school in Chicago. I want to clarify that my intentions were not to get a reaction out of people. I was simply filming beauty and this is the result. Here it is.
School: Chicago HS for the Arts
Class: Integrated arts 🙂 THE BEST CLASS.
Instructors: Catarina Araujo, Natalie Chami
Music: song on the beach by Arcade Fire.
Camera: rebel t5i
