Charley Harper prints

My current obsession is works by the late late American Modernist artist Charley Harper. Harper's works are still available in the form of art prints via the Charlie Harper Prints website. Open edition lithographs are for sale in the range of $50 and limited edition serigraphs are also available (price varies). Here's a sampling of some of my favorite pieces:




So amazingly gorgeous!

Date Night with Steve Carell and Tina Fey opening this weekend

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of 20th Century Fox. All opinions are 100% mine.

"Date Night" staring Steve Carell and Tina Fey opens this weekend (Friday, April 9th, 2010) which is tomorrow! Tiny Fey is best known for her work on SNL and 30 Rock & Steve Carell for his starring roles in The Office and The 40 Year Old Virgin. I dig both these stars tremendously and I'm really excited to see how well their on screen chemistry works. This should be a really fun film for fans of either or both of these stars, I can't wait! The film was directed by Shawn Levy who has also brought us such family friendly films as Night at The Museum and Cheaper By The Dozen. The film is rated PG-13 so it should be somewhat "kid-friendly" and would make a great movie to go to on a date night this weekend!

In Date Night Steve and Tiny play a husband and wife couple who go on one of their weekly dinner dates night but soon find themselves in a major snafu due to a case of mistaken identity. What ensues is nothing short of an action/adventure plot with car chases and shootouts along the way.

There's a great review of the film on the New York Times website. The review applauds the film's depiction of the teamwork between the onscreen couple and its portrayal of the film as “a love letter to marriage” (Josh Klausner, the film's screenwriter refers to the film as such).

PopStation is an awesome new website which allows registered users of the site to record vocal tracks and compete for an all expense paid, week long trip to New York City to record their very own album... you'll even get to bring along a guest and be given a your very own Production and A&R team to work with! After recording is finished, your album is mixed, goes through post production and album artwork is created. This is a fun and exciting way for amateur artists to gain first hand experience working in the music industry. This grand prize VIP album recording experience (aka "The Big Deal") is awarded once every 4 months to the #1 artist on the website.

How it works: PopStation releases original songs Monday – Thursday which are available on their online "Practice Room" for a period of 2 weeks. The practice rooms contain lyric sheets, backing tracks, videos and song demos to help you out. You then record your song (tutorials on this are can be found on the PopStation site) and post it to the website. Your song along with all the entries will be voted on by the Popstation audience for the chance to win the "Big Deal". Totally wish I had the vocal ability to pull this off!
