Sleep is Overrated
455 days ago · Sarah Lazarovic
My Luminato show was great fun (some quality articles about it here, here and here), but I'm happy to see June finally quieting down after my no-sleep regimen of the past few weeks.
On tap for next week: Three screenings of our short, The Way It Used To Be at the Worldwide Short Film Fest and The ROM. (Here's an article about the film from The Toronto Star.) As well, I'll be on the Festivals 101 Panel at the WWSFF at 1 PM on Wednesday. Come all ye filmmakers.

Digital Ephemera

Isn't crazy that people write all these elegant little things and then just drop them into the digital ether, where their time in the spotlight is limited at best? Working on a new project that will involve preserving these witty little tweets, comments and internet asides. Here's three words that so well convey our present mood, as twittered by my pal, Chip Zdarsky.

The Twits

I railed against twitter for over a year, then joined it this week when it hit tipping point and I began missing out on friends' 140 character, procrastinatory nuggets. I particularly enjoy keeping abreast of the mayor's day to day doings. Yesterday, he went for a 90 minute run!And here's this from weekend post -

Fall Preview
Happy August! Busy summer has precluded me from updating. Herewith, a cursory rundown of what's going on:
• Our movie premiere in Toronto on August 27th! Come!
Brains, Meet Beauty
Got to illustrate a good piece by the Post's Nathalie Atkinson on reconciling oneself to the stereotypes of the fashion profession, and feeling defensive when it comes to smarts.
Everything Must Go Sale!
We're renovating! The Portrait Gallery will be repaired and reno'd this summer, which means no room at the art inn. 200+ mini portraits of notable Torontonians (like you!), Twitter paintings, furniture and other stuff for free or cheap.
Recent work
Other Projects
Portrait Project
I'll be doing one portrait a day until I can't do one portrait a day anymore. Not allowed to spend more than an hour on each one.
Long Live Irony
This is my catch-all site - art projects, journalism, weird experiments, all founded in the general belief that irony is not dead, regardless of what Graydon Carter says.
A joint blog where me and the Mr. post our thoughts on fashion and design, and I chronicle my year of not shopping. (I've cheated once.)
The Portrait Gallery
The government has been all kinds of annoying when it comes to creating a respectable National Portrait Gallery of Canada. So we built one in our garage this summer!
