Natalie Merchant sing poems to life on TED

I found this last week and loved it. It's a beautiful idea- taking poems from many years past and making them into music. It's a hard thing to pull off and I really enjoyed Natalie Merchants take on it. Plus she is so eclectic with these, they have a unique vintage feel. The stories they tell are a compassionate, quirky and bit dark. Just how I like my art. :) enjoy.

Neil Gaiman's Address for University of the Arts

Check out this inspiring speech by Author Neil Gaiman (found through my FB buddy, Kate Barsotti). It's great...no need to say more. Do great art. period end of story. It helped me "reboot" my thinking today.
