Monkey salon market / life below the clouds project

Whilst getting my 50th cup of coffee today (mostly decaf - I'm not insane), I saw some promo items in the office kitchen -- one of my co-workers, Jason Gamm, has a rather lovely Etsy shop. His shop features work for a project called "life below the clouds." Its purpose is to raise funds and increase awareness of/education about lupus, an autoimmune disease. Some sweet work.




/ / /life below the clouds is a creative and collaborative project by monkey salon for raising funds, increasing awareness and education of lupus, an autoimmune disease. art = independence ... with the sales of art works we look forward to achieving that plateau / / / free goodies and educational materials with each purchase / / /

Adolf Wölfli.

After being weirdly underwhelmed by the Martín Ramírez exhibit at the MAM, I was mesmerized/fascinated/blown away by this man's work. I could spend hours on this site.


At the beginning of the twentieth century, Adolf Wölfli, a former farmhand and laborer, produced a monumental, 25,000-page illustrated narrative in Waldau, a mental asylum near Bern, Switzerland. Through a complex web of texts, drawings, collages and musical compositions, Wölfli constructed a new history of his childhood and a glorious future with its own personal mythology. The French Surrealist André Breton described his work as "one of the three or four most important oeuveres of the twentieth century". Since 1975, our aim is to make Adolf Wölfli's work known through one-man and group exhibitions as well as publications.

Misprinted type.

I have a sneaking suspicion I may have posted these awhile ago, but they're fantastic so I don't care. Lots of free and cheap fabulous fonts here. And some really nice collage work. Check it out.
