Through my random searches I came across the work of Taiwanese artist BlackZao, who blends graffiti and calligraphy with Eastern religious art. There are a lot of things that make his paintings exceptional but I really like the vibrant hues, lettering, and intricate illustrations. Aside from spray painting on walls and canvases, he also creates digital art, makes beautiful collages, and goes old school with acrylics and brushes. Check out his Facebook page for more.

Eleanor Swordy clearly stands out from the pack. She has a unique ability to create visually stunning artworks while maintaining her favorite theme and color palette. There's also a dream like quality to each of her paintings, which encourage deep viewing. Whether it's the way her colors are blended or how the cartoonish characters interact with each another, Eleanor is exploding with imaginative energy on how to execute it.

I use my bicycle a lot. It's convenient, environmentally friendly, and reduces the stress of getting around the city. But I wouldn't mind driving this whimsical Ghibili/Toyota EV everyday. Panalo 'tong panghatid-sundo sa mga bata.

This by Wendell Berry, whom I know nothing about. Beautiful. I can relate to it somehow. And of course I love the visuals by Charlotte Ager and Katy Wang.

Reggie Pearl deserves more recognition. I really like her music and I struggled to pick a song to recommend if you somehow only have the time to listen to one. But “Moldavite” blew me away the first time I heard it, and I hope you will love it too.

I was feeling blue for no good reason so I thought I’d cheer myself up by watching "No Hard Feelings" with my wife. I know that in all likelihood it will be dull and unimaginative, but I’m giving it a chance to entertain us.
