Art: In the Darkness of Murakami's Mind

I came into the Gagosian Gallery tonight expecting to find a fierce Takashi Murakami rolling from room to room in a plush ball. But this ain't Art Basel, friends.
The artist's four-panel painting, titled Picture of Fate: I Am But a Fisherman Who Angles In the Darkness of His Mind, sure is gigantic & striking.
In this new work, Murakami depicts the legend of the Karajishi or "China-lion", the mythological animal that guards the thresholds of Japanese Buddhist temples, separating sacred precincts from secular areas, averting evil, and promoting happiness and joy.

A lion and skulls... just my style.
Go see for yourself and let me know what you think! The piece will be in New York until Oct 15.

In my Fashion's Night Out coverage on Justin Timberlake's website, I noted I was surprised to like Gwen Stefani's bright turquoise eye liner. Here's another ocean shade that works well for Romanian model Andreea Diaconu:Thoughts?

Design: the new tamagotchi

I can't help assuming that the domsais were created to serve as desk-side partner for computer nerds who can't commit to either a plant or a friend! ;-)
Italian designer Matteo Cibic recommends: 'Give water with a syringe and watch them grow without moderation...' This is as low maintenance as it gets!

Think you have a green thumb?
