Jacques VillegléMy first influence is all the paper with all that memories… but 25 years ago when I start to paint, I was influenced by the "Steamin Muslims", a french painting group from the eighties. After that I discover a lot of pasted up and collage from different time and different artist too. Fifteen years ago I discover the work of Jacques Villeglé… and my head was "Shake it out" !!! We have to dream in that life, so life is my influence everyday… I try it. Specifically about artist in disorder… I like Matisse, Chaissac, Giacometti, Man Ray, Warhol, Basquiat and more (so classical !)

As we enter the final day of 2008, Sara and I want to wish all of you a very happy and healthy New Year.
For Sara and I, the "mission" of the website has never changed. The site has only one purpose:
To share with our friends those things that inspire us.
So as we end the year, we want to thank all of the artists and art lovers who have sent us incredible images over the last twelve months. On behalf of not only us, but also all of the readers of this blog, we can't thank you enough.
Here's to a wonderfully creative 2008 and what will surely be an incredibly inspiring 2009!
Warm Regards,
Marc, Sara (and of course Samantha and Hudson)

Artist: Mundano
This Is Where We Live from 4th Estate on Vimeo.
From cirka:
"I've been thinking a lot about public information vs. private information and why it's so fascinating to read about the mundane details of someone else's private life (like finding their grocery list that they dropped in the parking lot, for example). So, I decided to reverse this by choosing "declassify" some of my own personal documents: letters that, at a different time in my life, I would have been mortified for anyone else to see. All are letters that were written to me (except for one, which shows a short email correspondence). They span from a letter written by my pen pal when I was about 10 to a letter that I received last summer. I silk-screened all the letters in the original color that they were written in. The only things that I altered were the names of people mentioned in the letters, which I censored in black ink."
