Weekend Inspiration: Food Tease

Corinne — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 02:22:09 +0000

I enjoy cooking with my husband. It’s one of the things that keep us close, so I was delighted to find a website dedicated to food adventures of a Canadian couple living in Texas!

Food Tease is a food blog which was originally created to keep friends & family updated on what the couple has been up to in Texas. You can really tell they love to eat and try new recipes or ingredients! In this blog, you’ll find videos of the process of creating a dish and great food photography.

The ingredients they choose may not be on everybody’s list of favorite foods (well, most are certainly not on MY list – chicken hearts, anyone?). You know what, watching their videos makes me want to try ingredients I’ve never wanted to try. Now if only I can get my husband to try beef heart…

Besides the awesome content which includes restaurant reviews, the design is fabulous as well. What can I say, I’m I love minimalist design! You really get a chance to focus on the quality content. Enjoy!

Do you have any food blogs you’d like to suggest?

Weekend Inspiration: The Daily Figure

Corinne — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 03:19:45 +0000

ODG Kyle T. Webster has a great blog featuring his daily (almost) figure drawings. They are absolutely stunning!

I’m always a fan of art work that showcases great use of negative space and his drawings definitely have that. All the drawings were drawn without references which is just evidence of the hard work Kyle has done to nurture his talent! If you’re curious, have a look at his illustrations over at http://www.kyletwebster.com.

Weekend Inspiration: Stina Persson

Stina Persson is an illustrator from Stockholm, Sweden. She’s worked with big clients like Coca Cola, Target, and Godiva Chocalatier, just to name a few. Being a lover of watercolor my favorites can be found in the Watercolor section. I love her style! She uses negative spaces to her advantage allowing for colors to really pop.

Weekend Inspiration: iregret

Corinne — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 00:15:30 +0000

I have to thank ffffound.com for being around. Everyday I get about 120+ feeds from the website alone and I always find something that I just absolutely love. This week, I’m featuring a Japanese website called iregret which features paintings by ydk.

I wish I knew more Japanese to be able to read the content BUT there’s a certain excitement in not being able to understand the language. You are left to create your interpretation of ydk’s paintings which I think speaks for itself. Of all the paintings, my favorite would have to be the one in the screen shot but do explore the whole site and you’ll find many pieces that are disturbing, surreal and cute.
