Fashion Home - Splashes of sunshine for spring 2010

Posted using ShareThis



I always find Pantone's color reports interesting. I love the colors of summer more than anything, but spring is a close second. I also love that Turquoise Pantone 15- 5519 has been declared THE color of 2010. This is totally my year.

From the Pantone website:
In many cultures, Turquoise is believed to be a protective talisman, a color of deep compassion and healing, and a color of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky. Through years of color word-association studies, we also find that to many people, Turquoise represents an escape, taking them to a tropical paradise that is pleasant and inviting – even if it is only a fantasy.

Watkins College of Art, Design & Film is pleased to present a spirited evening with Wayne White, three-time Emmy winner for his set and puppet designs for Pee-wee's Playhouse. The L.A.-based artist art directed two seminal music videos, Peter Gabriel's "Big Time" and Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight, Tonight," and has exhibited paintings and sculptures internationally. A monograph of White's 30 year career, "Maybe Now I'll Get The Respect I So Richly Deserve," edited by Todd Oldham, was recently published by Ammo Books.

The reception and lecture are free and open to the public.

PS> I'm so happy to work at a place where things like this are happening!

It's Time

My new window for Rodney Mitchell




It's time for spring, for sun, for flowers, for afternoons outside. I won't bitch about winter, as they go this one's been good. However, I LOVE the energy that's building in anticipation of the new season. New daylight hours, new plant life, new colors; it's the best. Well, summer is the the ultimate best, but until then...I like the look of spring.
