melanie garcia has a blog: VSCO Grid PT.2

http://melaniegarciablog.blogspot.com/2015/05/vsco-grid-pt2.html

VSCO Grid PT.2. Almost a year ago I got a sweet surprise. In my inbox from the super rad awesome photographic processing peeps VSCO. And now lo and behold yet another pleasant email:. Pretty stoked that another image snuck its way into the curated VSCO Grid. And as always is in good company! The above image was taken at the same time I popped in to take in Papier15. An art fair devoted to works on paper. The fair took place on the upper floors of the newly gutted de Gaspé buildings. Get it in your inbox.

http://melaniegarciablog.blogspot.com/2015/05/environmental-graphics.html

A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by a teacher at Quebec High School in Quebec City with a proposed project for their arts wing that was in desperate need of a makeover. Ready for the "before" images? The murals on the walls were created by students over ten years ago when the school had thought the whole wing would be demolished. So the kids se sont lâchés. Or let loose as we say in proper Quebecois français. We" was myself and talented friend, artist. And make-up sfx guru. Get it in your inbox.

SF/Bay Area photo diary pt.1. Above, the soaring trees of Big Basin Redwoods State Park. A lone windblown tree at Davenport Beach. The pier at Capitola Beach. Big Sur coming up. All the superlatives you've ever heard about driving along SR1/Pacific Coast Highway. And its epic stunning amazingness are all true. I couldn't get enough of the view and I was completely mind-bloggled at the many mailboxes and driveways entrances that lined the west side of the highway. People live down there! Having not been t...

Judith and Charles FW15. Many moons ago, I got to know the French label Teenflo as a fashion assistant for their look books and campaigns for the Canadian market. The founders who brought Teenflo across the Atlantic embarked onto their own design adventure transitioning to their namesake made-in-Canada contemporary brand: Judith and Charles. Clean lines, impeccable tailoring, and a magical shift dress that somehow looks good on anybody are some of the characteristics of this refined line. The themes focu...

Holiday Gift Guide Cadeau. With the holidays right around the corner, there is certainly last minute gift shopping taking place in full frenzy in the shops and online. In case you haven't sorted out all your pressies for your family and your besties may I point you towards the 2014 holiday gift guides from ELLE Canada. That I had loads of fun/stress-filled pleasure to research, edit and style. As you can see it's a bit of same/same but different-spot the differences if you feel so intrepid. A dear friend...

Robocut x Printemps Numérique. Recently I was asked to document a two-day Rube Goldberg machine. Making-a-thon at Robocut Studios. A multidisciplinary one-stop-make-it-all shop. From conception to digital fabrication, to CNC milling, to laser cutting, 3D printing, prototyping and electronics, Robocut covers the gamut of design needs. To show off these skills in a kooky and fun way, the studio participated in Printemps Numérique. Get it in your inbox. Robocut x Printemps Numérique.

Kevin Ledo and 5800 Harold. Is at it again. This time with two massive pieces for 5800 Harold. Apartment residences in Hollywood, California. I checked out the in-progress canvases, one 7'x20' and the other 7'x30' (holy moly! Each featuring astral bodies rendered in paint and gold leaf. See that shine in the image above? That's not just any old photographic hot-spot-that's the shine of the leaf itself. Ledo set up camp in Sid Lee. A quote from David Lynch. On his obsession with coffee.

melanie garcia has a blog: Live Through This

http://melaniegarciablog.blogspot.com/2015/04/live-through-this.html

By Anwen Crawford is one of the latest explorations from the awesome pocket-sized series of books 33 1/3. That focus on seminal albums of music history. As a Hole. Fan during the albums era, this book was an insightful revisit to the past. Crawford explores the themes of motherhood, pageantry, vulnerability, feminism-and what it means to be a woman in the male dominated rock n' roll arena. The rumours of Kurt. All came flowing back to me. Did I mention I LOVED reading this book? Dies a second time.
