TUTTICONFETTI

can you be addicted to buying art? because i think i am…or maybe i’m addicted to shopping (that’s me inadvertently admitting i’m a shopaholic but let’s not linger on that for too long). i’ve begun settling into my new place which means i’ve started the “let’s make this house a home!” phase. i’m filling all my blank walls with photos, prints, macramé, mirrors -did i leave out anything? i’m also trying to tackle how to hang this beautiful yet enormously heavy painting my dear friend made but i’m renting and the thought of drilling holes into the wall makes me break into a sweat. anyways…i think my art addiction began when i went to austin a couple months ago. my brother and i stumbled upon this store that supported local crafters and artists and i found (narrowed it down to) two prints that i absolutely had to take home with me. since then i’ve been on the hunt for some cool pieces for my new place, which is what brings me to tutticonfetti! i just recently discovered the talented marta colomer of tutticonfetti and i can’t get enough of her illustrations. i love seeing these characters like this and i can’t wait to welcome jimi to his new home!

 

 

 

PETER SILBERMAN: IMPERMANENCE

i am beyond excited about this album. yesterday, i listened to the antlers’ frontman, peter silberman talk with bob boilen about life, his return to music and his first solo album. back in 2014, peter lost his hearing in his left ear, forcing him to acquire a more quiet lifestyle leaving his friends, family and fans in the noisy world he once knew. after living in his new found silence, his hearing began to progress and he began playing music again… in a whole new way with a whole new sound.

“I started trying to play again and trying to sing again, testing where the boundary was of the sensitivity and of the pain of it. What I found was that if I sang very quietly and if I played guitar very quietly that this would be a path for me.”

you can listen to bob and peter’s chat in its entirety along with the single from his upcoming album here.
