Curvy Pin-up by George Petty | TrendLand: Fashion Blog & Trend Magazine He left Esquire, to be replaced by Alberto Vargas who we will be featuring here soon, and became a freelance commercial artist. His girls soon ended up gracing magazine ads and calendars for such unlikely products as Tung-Sol Radio Tubes and the aptly named, Ridgid Tools. Thanks to A-HAA for the images! See also more of his Pin-ups here If you LOVE Pin-ups like us, then you should check the Mel Ramos Pin-up too ! Do you design Pin-ups and calendar girls?

BiblePlan -- Helping You Read The Bible » Archive » The Lost Art of Inglourious Basterds Back when it was being promoted, some of the people behind Inglourious Basterds teamed up with Upper Playground to create a number of commissioned pieces based on the film. The resulting batch of artwork included images by Alex Pardee, Sam Flores, David Choe, and about 10 others, and none of them ever saw the light of day. Now, they will be released as VERY limited art prints to benefit the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Find Spas at Spa Index: Day Spas, Resort Spas, Specialty Spa Retreats Secret Door Projects » epic organization epic organization I’ve been spending the past two days up in the studio working on organizing & sorting out my flat file & print storage shelves (assisted on Saturday by one of my awesome interns, Kate!). This is partly to take advantage of the ever-recurring January potential of “new year, new beginnings”, and partly to get ready for the secret door projects store, aka. Well, it turns out that I have more than I thought I did… In sorting out the flat file, I turned up some edition copies of the American Woolen Co. print (which I didn’t even think I had any of for my own archives!) All this will be in the store when it is up! also notable in the past week or so: “Hunter Plaid Perspective” feat. and then Serena, Meg, & Will (we found another shirt!) [these images are a photo response to: "R U A Team Player?"] …and, last but not least, they have been tearing down the remaining 195 highway.

Jesus Reveals God's Love The Uniqueness of Christianity God's love impelled him to take action to help his creatures gone astray so when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman (Gal 4:4) Jesus is the Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity, who was sent for love of mankind: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In the last three years of his life, Jesus taught the truth behind the Jewish law (cf. Jesus' teachings unleash life from endless pursuit of self, the cycle of violence of the law of vengeance (`An eye for an eye...') and the exacting observances of Jewish ritual. It is a great tragedy that many non-Christians see slavery, not freedom in the truth of Christ. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

Free Advice + Coffee About 50 people contacted me during that week, and the talks I had with them lasted from ten minutes to one and a half hours, if you leave out the black woman who quickly stopped and asked me the question: Should I marry him or not? and who disappeared again, laughing, without waiting for an answer. The issues that people came to me for guidance on were primarily existential issues. I think my life is off course, what should I do? That type of question. An example of what happened during the week: Three young Muslim girls come up to me, they are teasing each other, joking, they’re obviously a little uncertain about the situation. I ask her, what would your situation be like if - and try to imagine that this scenario is real - so, how would the whole situation look if your two friends didn’t exist, they are not a part of your life, they’re gone, erased from your consciousness? Thank you to Marc Horowitz (ineedtostopsoon.com) who inspired me to do the project.

Red Heart Photography » wedding lifestyle photography in Hawaii Fantastic Flood-Proof House Designed to Break Free & Float It has to be said: this incredible New Orleans home design from Morphosis is making waves in the architectural community. In case of flooding, this home does not simply drift off – rather, it rises up on the water but remains tethered to vertical guides that keep it from floating away, essentially the ultimate in luxury battery-powered life rafts. Yet another project sponsored by Bran Pitt and his Make It Right Foundation, this home is designed to be modern, stylish and sustainable but also to remain modest, functional and contextual. While it has not yet been (and hopefully will never need to be) in actual live flooding conditions, in such an emergency the structure would essentially break free of its footings as well as gas pipes, power lines, and other ties to the ground surface and city grid – carrying enough power for a few days and a safely elevated enclosure while its residents await rescue.
