In Search of Eustace
Aptos Retreat
This Aptos, California home designed by CCS Architecture features three separate buildings on 20 acres; a "live" building, a "sleep" building and a "clubhouse" barn. A barn that would be perfect for a certain freeloading blogger for a couple of weeks, say, once a year? Just a thought. Via Desire to Inspire.

California's National Forest
I'm loving the work of Glendale designers National Forest, and apparently so is everyone else. With clients like Element, Urban Outfitters and Swindle Magazine they're not hurting for amazing work. Check out their site here, and get your drool bibs ready.
I'm Feeling California Today at The Best Part
At lunch today with a friend, I was enlightened to the work of San Francisco artist Alex Kopps. After some research into Alex's phenomenal work, I found a treasure trove of California-based artists who have all contributed to the benefit to fund Displacement, his upcoming film.
Today I will share some of these Cali-based artists by officially declaring October 8th "California Day" in the commonwealth of The Best Part; but first, enjoy the work of Alex Kopps.
Jeff Sketches Signage by the Seaside
Jeff Canham takes inspiration from the California seaside and creates amazing hand-painted signage, paintings, assemblages and prints that remind me of a sunny day in Sausalito selling seashells.
Profound Simplicity
Carlos Ramirez and Armando Lerma are The Date Farmers, two artists united to create these amazing paintings, collages and sculptures that reflect their Mexican-American heritage and California pop culture. With influences that vary from street murals and revolutionary posters to prison art and tattoos, The Date Farmers attack politics and pop culture from a street-level perspective.
