Merry This & Happy That.

I'm off. 

I am going on a planned adventure. Of which will be fabulous. So no posting for the next two weeks from me.

 Please host/attend wonderful gatherings with awesome people around you. I can't wait to move to Auckland in the new year purely so I can start hosting some wicked parties on roof tops and create jar lit rooms. 

Merry this and Happy that my friends :) 

A Tree & M'dear.

Thinking in Fantasia.

This short film made me think exactly what I've been thinking about lately. 

I thought...

How sad it will be to give up biking on the Wellington foreshore on saturday afternoons and every other day that the sun was more enticing than lectures.

 Auckland and biking is to me how New York and biking is to Nanna. 

So this short made me smile at my thoughts even though the actual thinking makes me sigh. 

Oh Land: Nordic Fantasia on Nowness.com.

Danish pop-electro songstress Nanna Øland Fabricius, aka Oh Land, takes a dramatic turn as she cycles aimlessly about Copenhagen’s animated streets in director Matthew Donaldson’s short film. Though Oh Land has called Brooklyn, New York, home since early 2010, the Copenhagen native still pines for the Nordic mini-metropolis.

 “I miss being able to go everywhere on my bike. It’s so freeing and such a nice way to explore your city,” she says. “In New York it’s so dangerous, it’s not the same experience.” 

A Citizen of Optimism.

Michelle's word - Dream used in a quote, "You don't need to sleep to dream."

Citizens for Optimism is a collaboration among 17 up and coming designers who strive to use their unique styles to inspire happiness through design. 

On a mission to promote optimism New Yorkers were asked what words or feelings they associated with optimism. A long list was narrowed down to seventeen words and each designer got one word along with a simple brief, design a type dominant poster that promoted optimism. 

The outcome, nothing less than amazing work.

All lettering is hand drawn.

Leen's word - Sweet used in a quote, "This poster is sweet, lick it."

Devin's word - Sunny used in a quote, "Things will clear up."
