Jillian Temaki has written a great
post (via drawn.ca) about idea generation. Among other things, she advises young grasshoppers (ie. the rest of us) to:
BE INTERESTED. Consume media. Participate in culture. Read books, go to movies, the news, fashion magazines, stupid blogs, etc. Browse the bookstore just for the hell of it.
It's no secret that I'm (mostly) a pop-culture-know-nothing. In the spirit of remembering that art and design should not be produced in an intellectual bubble, keeping in mind consuming (pop) culture is as important as creating it, and that above all art and design is a response to our surroundings, I want to ask you what your favorite blogs/culture gathering things are. Art+design related, tech, pure pop culture, literary, whatever, I want to hear it.
And c'mon, don't be too cool to admit it - I read perezhilton too!
