All Things Beautiful

Things you are likely to find on this blog: fabulous art, charming home interiors, ridiculously good-looking people, pretty landscapes, inspiring architecture, photogenic food, exceptional electronics, and everything else—as the title states—that may be construed as Beautiful. From the shallow to the sublime, from the absurd to the commonplace, beauty need not be rational or forgiving.

Swoon



Dynamic yet fragile, haunting yet ephemeral, Swoon's street art—intricate, life-sized paper cutouts of both everyday and unusual people—wallpapers the most unlikely corners of New York City.

"To me the beauty with street art has a lot to do with the openness in the spaces in which it is created, in the random elements it is subject to, the decay and the change and impermanence." (Swoon, as interviewed in spectraz.com)
