Art I like - Memphis Edition: Adam Farmer

Last summer I went to an art show here in Memphis to support Crosstown Arts. The show was called Material Anthology, curated by Hamlett Dobbins, and it consisted of over 50 artists who had exhibited with Hamlett and Material (the exhibition space) from 2004 - 2013. 

I plan on highlighting many of the artists I viewed during that exhibit (there were so many talents in one space), but today I will start with Adam Farmer. His piece Weeping Walter Wonderland (not shown) caught my eye almost immediately for it's rough strokes and wild subject matter. Upon my research, it seems as if he has several pieces of which I am quite fond. 







The last Friday of every month, Adam opens his home in Midtown as an art gallery called Glitch, where he hosts his (and fellow Memphis artists) most recent works. Check out more of Adam's work on his Tumblr page and keep up with Glitch via Facebook.

Latest Obsession - The Mindy Project

Okay, okay - I know I'm like 5 steps behind on this... but I am obsessed with Mindy Kahling. 


I mean, how could you not be? Anyone who would publish the above photo in a nationally best selling book should be the leader of the world. 

Her book is absolutely hilarious (seriously, I read it in two days - and I'm not trying to brag about how fast I can read - I just couldn't put it down!) 

And her sense of style so unstoppable there is even an entire website dedicated to it (which I now have bookmarked)

Her NYC apartment on her show is the stuff my dreams are made of.





White space with bright pops of color and funky patters dispersed throughout juxtaposed with antique furniture? I die. 

I binge watched the entire first season and I'm moving on the the second. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do when I'm finished. I guess I'll have to move out to LA and ask her to be my best friend... I've never stalked anyone - but you gotta start somewhere, amIright?
