Four tet has been a favorite of mine for years. With a mix of hip hop, electronic, jazz, and more, London artist Kieran Hebden brings such a unique style to the industry. Starting out as a member of the band Fridge, he later explored music on his own and released his first single in 1997. While continuing with his solo career he also has worked with talented and well known musicians such as Aphex Twin, Bloc Party, Black Sabbath, and Thom Yorke to name a few.
His fourth album, Everything Ecstatic came out in 2005 and is filled with quirky mixes and smart beats. It has a high energy sound and happy youthful vibe. It makes for good driving music as well as a background tunes for a party. The six song on the album, And Then Patterns, is particularly one I love. It has such a beautiful mix of instruments and just flows so nicely. Another favorite, Turtle Turtle Up, brings you back to the Nintendo days with elegance.
The album art is vibrant and colorful, like the music it presents. Although the line work seems a little out of control and ecstatic, the design makes sense. Due to the hues chosen for the work, it has an adolescent feel but its fresh and unique at the same time. All in all, its fun.

Having a theme for your wedding, event or party can sometimes make it easier to decorate. But it’s also easy to go overboard. There is room to get creative though. Here are some great examples of themed events done right. I wish I was there to see them!
Movie time is a great idea. Everyone can get comfy and you can design the space with all sorts of props.
The renaissance theme is also nice for events that are a bit fancier. Look for lots of silver and metal items and romantic flowers for that touch of pretty.
For those who love camping and the great outdoors, an outside cookout or sleepover would work really well. Anything nature related can really be an adventure to put together. There are so many possibilities. From woodland and garden to the galaxy, they all could be so much fun!
Get crazy with the carnival theme and really show your guests a good time! Just imagine if you were able to rent out a theme park for the day. So cool.
Pick an era you love and go with it.
If you love to travel or met your fiancé while exploring the world, than a global theme would fit nicely.
If books are adored by you and your sweet love than a library theme will suit you both.
If you both are smarty pants or met in school, than why not a school theme? You can have so much fun with this one.

Oh, do I love paper. Even when I was a child I had a special relationship with it. I loved stationary and would always want my Mother to buy me new pads and notebooks, just so I can have plenty of paper to write and draw on. Today, I simply adore it.
Being an artist you learn how to appreciate paper more. Most of my handmade crafts are made with it as well so I have used more as the years passed. Searching for unique patterns and designs is easy thanks to all the talented people out there creating such beautiful work. From tissue paper to wallpaper, there is something to be found for everyone.
Here are some cool finds I came across upon my searches that I would like to share with you. Get lost in the magnificent glory of all these fun and gorgeous items and let them inspire you, like they inspired me.
