City of Ember = color combinations I want to eat, costumes I want to wear, Sets I want to live in, ect.
The Golden Compass = awesome costume design (Ruth Myers did the costume design for both city of ember and the golden compass! She rocks!)

I just got back from seeing Waltz with Bashir and it kind of left me speechless. It’s the type of movie you go to see for the visual experience but you leave with a lot more.
An Ari Folman Film
————————————————-
I was really excited for this when I heard that Tomer Hanuka was going to be doing some of the art for the film. Hanuka’s style of illustration represents everything I love about comic book art.
Tomer also has a blog with his twin brother, Asaf, at Tropical Toxic.
Sweet Plantain is a string quartet that plays with improvisational flare, combining their knowledge of classical music with jazz and latin genres. Heard of this via my viola teacher who is a friend of one of the violinists, Romulo Benavides.
I just got back from the MENC All-Eastern orchestra conference (held in Providence, RI) Sunday night and it has got me musically inspired! On Friday night we saw Cantus, a singing group who performed in a variety of different styles.
On Saturday night we saw the all-eastern jazz ensemble perform. They were an amazing group! I was especially impressed with the bass player and the drummer. The Boston Brass played that night, as well. It was overall a great show!
For your listening pleasure…original of one of the songs they covered-
