2. Si Scott - Swan

I love this painting because it reminds me of my favorite album of all time—Björk's Vespertine. I love it because the shapes and lines forming the swan's head and beak swoop and curve and circle around in such a wonderfully impressionistic dance. I love it.

1. Luke Chueh - The Soundtrack (To My Life)

While I'm annoyed that Chueh picked such a tacky, emo-dramatic cliche to represent his piece, the image speaks for itself. The slant of the anomalous creature's eyes is just devastating. The piece carries a wistful sadness but the ridiculousness of the situation—a white (teddy bear?) spinning records on a turntable—tempers the mood really nicely. Speaking of broken records, have I told you how much I love gelaskins.com?

Don't these just make your laptop look MORE ostentatious?

By Jason Killingsworth on November 18, 2008

Technically, yes they do, in the same way that wearing a t-shirt with a design or pattern on it is more ostentatious than wearing a plain white undershirt. If something is attractive, it will always draw attention to itself. The fundamental difference for me is the desire to wear a t-shirt with an inspiring, fresh artistic design as opposed to wearing one with a baldly promotional, glow-in-the-dark Tommy Hilfiger logo embroidered across the chest.

I like the idea of owning the image you carry around everywhere. I just bought an iPhone cover from www.infectious.com - really cool!
