speaking of London...

I really want to go back to London RIGHT NOW! London is so much fun, and there are so many things I never got the chance to see. While I was visiting in January, I was fortunate enough to see the "Pop Art Portraits" exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery. Obviously, the exhibit had several works by Andy Warhol, which is fine and dandy, but I also got to see this Andy Warhol-esque screen print by Richard Hamilton:

"Swingeing London 67(a)": Portrait of Mick Jagger and art dealer Robert Fraser being arrested for illegal substance abuse.

This was one of my favorite portraits in the entire museum; in fact, a postcard of this is actually sitting on my desk at work. There are actually some other things sitting on that desk: a deer temporary tattoo, stickers of dogs, another post card of "Portrait of Juan Gris" by Patrick Caulfield, and the Periodic Table of Elements. Whoo, so exciting!

On a related topic, I LOVEEE this new Louis Vuitton ad campaign:

The person who came up with the idea of mixing Keith Richards with high-end fashion is a genius. I want more!
