Patrick Nagel

OMG os anos 80 no seu melhor!!!

The brilliant career of Patrick Nagel, one of America's most significant contemporary artists, ended in February 1984 with his death at the age of 38, but a rich legacy of paintings, drawings, graphics and sculpture remains. Ever since 1974, when his work first achieved prominence in Playboy magazine, the art of Patrick Nagel has been widely admired, exhibited and collected. With over 80 thousand people owning at least one Nagel's limited-edition works, his best-selling lithographs are graphic touchstone of an era. Nagel's use of silhouette, bold line, and unusual angles of vision recalls the Japanese woodblock print. His process was one of simplification, a stripping away in order to achieve a stronger impact with fewer elements. His images are formal yet decorative. His women are the quintessential women of the 80's. A so-called popular artist, he became a creator of fine art.

The Art of Manliness

Existe um sitio onde se discute a arte de ser ser homem.
Eu que tenho um fascinio por esses laivos de Clube Secreto que os homens têm, não posso deixar de ir lá espreitar de vez em quando.
E é ai que se podem encontrar coisas como

So yes, it can be hard to believe that something as simple as wearing nice clothing can actively improve your powers of persuasion. But have a little faith in the science and in your own understanding of human nature.
It’s not a magic charm. Just having a good suit isn’t going to make people agree with everything you say. For one thing, there are a lot of other guys out there in good suits already, so you have lots of competition for people’s attention!
But you can create a positive first impression by being neat, by having the attractive outline that well-fitted clothing brings, and by looking just a little more dressed-up than the men around you. That edge might just be enough to tip the scales in your favor and get you the job, the sale, the votes — whatever it is you need from other people.




Por isto e muito mais, o The Art of Manliness é um dos meus sítios favoritos

The Portuguese Conspirancy


Em Londres, um canto português. Mas não é um canto qualquer, não é um canto para portugueses, é um canto para o mundo que mostra o que Portugal tem de melhor!
Uma Delicatessen, um restaurante e uma sala de espectáculos.
Mas eles explicam muito melhor que eu:

"(...) a clear and precise intent: To contaminate London with the richness of an amazing and vibrant Portuguese contemporary culture. Food, Architecture, Wine, Art, Music, Design&Technology, you name it. Yep, It’s true folks, it’s not all about the deficit: Portugal, (despite today’s economical hardships) is bursting with creativity, and a fresh breath of new ideas and of course, great food. We want you to join us, to eat, drink and conspire with us in this quest for mouth watering world domination."







Nice, or what?

Verdades de La Palice

Verdades de La Palice não deixam de ser verdades.
Neste caso, um post sobre o estilo da Giovanna Battaglia é uma palissada de todo o tamanho mas é mais forte que eu.
