Christian McEwen - Music Hiding in the Air. Memory is more than a looking back to a time that is no longer; it is a looking into another kind of time altogether where everything that ever was continues not just to be, but to grow and change with the life that is in it still. The people we loved. The people who loved us. The people who, for good or ill, taught us things. Frederick Buechner, THE SACRED JOURNEY It’s early May, one of the first days that really feels like spring. Rory was my uncle, my father’s younger brother, a tall man in a kilt or summer blue jeans, his long legs going up and up. It was from looking at Rory’s pictures that I first began to see. Long ago, back before adult time began, I remember lying on the rug beside the fire, with the gray rain pouring down outside, and my uncles’ voices on the record-player: heavy, grainy, grown up voices, familiar and monotonous: Ye Hi’lands and ye Lawlands Oh where hae ye been?
They have slain the Earl o’ Moray And laid him on the green. Oh gentle wind that bloweth south.

I adore Instagram, and while I’m still pondering how the Facebook acquisition will impact this jewel of a smartphone photo-sharing service, here are some art-related people, institutions and accounts you should follow to inject some arty content into the palm of your hand.
A couple of things … first, this list is photographer and street artist heavy because both groups are well suited to Instagram’s pop aesthetic, and second, like any social media list, the picks are subjective, but these are the people I like to follow. Btw, you have to wonder how cool Instagram is anymore when Iran’s Supreme Leader joins … yes, you read that right.

Stunning Subjectivity: Paula Scher's Obsessive Hand-Painted Maps. By Maria Popova An irreverent, artful antidote to GPS appification, or what the NYC subway has to do with tsunamis. Iconic designer Paula Scher is one of my big creative heroes, her thoughts on combinatorial creativity a perfect articulation of my own beliefs about how we create. Since the early 1990s, Scher has been creating remarkable, obsessive, giant hand-painted typographic maps of the world as she sees it, covering everything from specific countries and continents to cultural phenomena. This month, Princeton Architectural Press is releasing Paula Scher: MAPS — a lavish, formidable large-format volume collecting 39 of her swirling, colorful cartographic points of view, a beeline addition to my favorite books on maps.
I began painting maps to invent my own complicated narrative about the way I see and feel about the world. (Cue in cartograms.)

I am an author and creative director dividing my time between Los Angeles and New York. I am working on several projects with publishers and with clients while speaking at conferences and organizations here and in Europe.
Before setting up this new bi-coastal life, I was Managing Director and Executive Creative Director of mcgarrybowen in New York. I helped build the agency, from its humble origins as a couple of dozen people sitting in a room looking at the phone and waiting for it to ring — to the global behemoth (1,000+ people, offices on three continents) it is today. We were named Ad Agency of the Year (twice by Ad Age and once by Ad Week which is apparently more picky) and I am proud to share in the credit for that. In our first ten years, we won a crazy number of accounts including Chase, Verizon, Chevron, Reebok, United, Kraft, Sears and Disney. I am also an author and have written and illustrated seven best-selling books on art and creativity. Daniel Hertzberg Illustration.

"The often-superhuman-seeming human effort on display in productions like Mr. Twist's remains affecting and enchanting as much for it's magical effects as for it's literally hand-made quality" "Magical staging, a breathtaking piece of theatrical wizardry, the puppets were bewitchingly characterful....if I had a few million bucks to spare, I'd build Twist a theatre in midtown Manhattan and turn him loose to do whatever he liked in collaboration with whomever he liked" "By far the most widely adored and unquestionably magical production at this year's Spoleto Festival...one that was transformed into a masterpiece of the puppeteer's art by director, designer and master puppeteer Basil Twist....a grand and giddy delight.
