Events We Love :: Soon Come: Poems Painted & Spoken
The Center presents Soon Come: Poems Painted & Spoken, a multi-media art exhibit and poetry performance by Yvonne Fly Onakeme Etaghene. Soon Come: Poems Painted & Spoken will debut Etaghene’s visual art. Her art is acrylic and spray painted visual poems passionately splashed on canvas and wood surfaces in order to share the colors of her soul. The space will have life-size poetry hanging around you, video art as well as a loving, tender, soul-deep performance of Etaghene’s poetry spanning the last decade of her career. The poems shared will be about the revelry, magic, heartache and angst of love. Etaghene gives you these poems and paintings with open palms and heart, reaching to love you, ever more, ever deeper.

Videos We Love :: Henry Miller – To Paint Is To Love Again
I have to give it up to Doze Green for posting this one the other day. I had no idea that the author of some of my favorite books was also such an avid painter. The most powerful part of this video for me is hearing Miller in his own words share his insights on the act of painting. A beautiful video for any Henry Miller fan. Mr. Miller you’re missed but certainly not forgotten. Thanks for the inspiration…
Design We Love :: ROLL Skateboards – Stealth Model
One of the greatest things about having a site dedicated to all the things we love + keep us inspired, is the ability to support the creativity and hard work from our friends all over the world. ROLL Skateboards is one of those sources of inspiration that was starting by my life-long homeboy Manny Pangilinan.
Videos We Love :: Timelapse Painting, Pat Perry
We’re into timelapse, great artists & seeing the creative process. Here’s a couple of videos of artist Pat Perry getting it in. If you like what you see, make sure you take a look at the rest of his work on his site. I’m also digging the photos he posts on his blog. He would definitely be a fun artist to feature on FWL.
