With all of the violence happening in the US right now, it doesn’t feel right to share “fun” links. Then again, maybe it’s what we need the most. Maybe we need our weekly dose of art and design to remind us of that there are things that can unite us, things that can bring a smile to our faces, and things that can lift our heavy hearts.

DIY rainbow tie dye hammock.

I wish I could go to Seattle to see this.

I’m going to try to make it out to Long Beach to check out this art show. (Excited to see a piece by Ernest Zacharevic in person.)

Threadless just started selling four different styles of hats. (I wish beanies looked good on me. If so, I’d get this one.)

Starry Wars: Star Wars + Van Gogh = Awesome.
