I’m thrilled to be writing this when it’s actually hot and sunny outside. Summer had to come eventually, I suppose, and it’s basically August. So let’s see:

• The BBC updated Byron’s image with a music video, to odd effect, but I appreciate the effort.

• Then I read the collected poems of E.E. Cummings in one sitting, but figured I’d spare you and hunt up the one I really liked.

• I saw In & Out of Amsterdam at MoMA. More intellectually apppealing than visually, and I might just be more visual.

• I found out a bit about rust used in art, specifically rust paints. (Thanks all!)

• For something absolutely delightful and cheering on your Friday, check out this artist dress code.

• Artists do not own Mickey Mouse, and more illegal art due to copyright.

Also, I’m trying out the twitter thing. If you’re on there, come find me at linnea_west. Have a great weekend!
