AJ Fosik
AJ Fosik’s updated take on folk art is both poppy and unpredictable. Plus, check out his amazing collection of vintage beer sweaters – originally how I found out about him.

Sugar
The boo and I won tickets (God bless WNYC) to see a screening of the new film, Sugar hitting theaters in NYC and LA on April 3rd. Directed by Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck (the duo behind Half Nelson) this is not your typical baseball epic. Following the life of Miguel “Sugar” Santos as he makes his way from the Dominican Republic to America via a Kansas City minor league team, the film is a story as much about baseball as it is about cultural assimilation, and finding yourself in a most surprising way. Great music, beautiful shots, and breakthrough introductions to some really amazing talent. Highly recommended. (Great site too, but don’t read the synopsis provided if you want the surprise ruined…)

The Desktop Wallpaper Project
Looks like I’m a little late to the party – but check out Kitsune Noir’s Desktop Wallpaper Project, a collection of pieces from emerging artists already formatted for your iPhone, PSP, and any desktop size. I think even folks with a PC could use these…very cool idea, and great way to check out new artists. This is one of my favs.

Gnome Homes
Whilst trying to expand my plant collection, I stumbled across the Gnome Home etsy store, and had to share. Everyone needs a little elf and fairy in their lives, and these are so clever.

A brooch isn’t something gals these days typically look for to complete the perfect outfit, but Angela Knipe’s etsy store might have them thinking twice.
