vanity project ahead

I've been following Carter Kustera ever since he partnered with New York design powerhouse, Jonathan Adler five or six years ago. Carter does commissioned portraits - silhouette style.

Huge fan of his work. Just sayin.'

I've finally decided to pony up the $$ and get one of these things to call my own.  Process is seemingly simple. Take a low-res picture, decide upon a quote and mail it off. He'll paint a side-profile painting, scribble in the chosen quote aaaaand

Two weeks later - BAM - art on the doorstep.

Not as simple as I thought. 19 macbook photobooth takes later - and another hour of witty quote brainstorming - we're finally ready to get this thing going. Will advise of finished product.
Of course I had to pre-contrast the pic to make sure it was perfect... I mean acceptable.




Here are some songs I fell in love with today while on a photobooth break:

340mL - Fairy Tales

School of Broken Bells - I L U (phantogram remix)

Snowblink - Ambergris

Grum - Turn it Up
