People call me Lizzie Bee
People call me Lizzie Bee. Southern California is where i call home and I have a family that I wouldn't trade for anything. Taken By A Good Man. Life is too short to not enjoy the beauty, comedy, sadness, love and righteousness that it holds. So here I share the things that mean something to me, in hopes they will mean something to you as well. Like OrangeSUnshine Blog on FACEBOOK for streaming updates: facebook.com/OrangeSUnshineBlog

Dave Murray. Who wouldn't love an artist who's subject of interest was beer?
Of course, that's not his only subject of interest, which means you should check out what else he has got going on HERE.

The Average Color of The Universe
What color is the universe? More precisely, if the entire sky was smeared out, what color would the final mix be? This whimsical question came up when trying to determine what stars are commonplace in nearby galaxies. The answer, depicted above, is a conditionally perceived shade of beige. To determine this, astronomers computationally averaged the light emitted by one of the largest sample of galaxies yet analyzed: the 200,000 galaxies of the 2dF survey. The resulting cosmic spectrum has some emission in all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, but a single perceived composite color. This color has become much less blue over the past 10 billion years, indicating that redder stars are becoming more prevalent. In a contest to better name the color, notable entries included skyvory, univeige, and the winner: cosmic latte.

Kris Lewis
Kris Lewis, holy wow. At first glance i had the impression that a woman painted these because of the feelings i got from them - the femininity of the subjects - but it is Kris Lewis, Jersey boy relocated to Los Angeles who is responsible for these beauties. I cannot even grasp the photo realism of these paintings. The way he captures the subjects being with so much visible emotion is fucking gorgeous. Yes, FUCKING GORGEOUS.
Artist Statement from his website: "As I begin a painting the subject physically, emotionally and spiritually reveals itself to me. Each brushstroke speaks to the subsequent stroke, carrying out a dialogue, linking my subject and me as if we were meeting for the first time. I find this uncertainty exciting and embrace the indecisive nature of my work."
Go check out the SITE for more images. You won't be disappointed. Extremely talented and seemingly passionate artist.

Check out Justin's blog HERE. Lots of rad sketches and work from the artist. Radness, i do declare.
Let's Go To Deleware
By far, one of my favorite brewers, making some of my favorite beers, (my personal favorite being their 90 Minute IPA, Yum) Dogfish Head brewery is located in Milton, Delaware and if you thought that was the only thing there, you are surely mistaken. Read the article released on Tuesday describing the new 'Dual Tour' of Milton & the Dogfish head brewery HERE. Sounds like my kind of trip. Also check out the Dogfish Head website for more off-centered stuff for off-centered people & the 'Fish Finder' so you can always find yourself some scrumptious brews nearest you.
Bianca Green
Hooray for this chick. Very Original.
You can view more of her work HERE and also help support the artist by buying prints or even cell phone cases 'oooohhhh' :P

6,500 Light Years From Earth
This is a mosaic image, one of the largest ever taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope of the Crab Nebula, a six-light-year-wide expanding remnant of a star’s supernova explosion. Japanese and Chinese astronomers recorded this violent event nearly 1,000 years ago in 1054, as did, almost certainly, Native Americans.
What Would It Look Like?
"This 25-minute retrospective asks us to reflect on the state of the world and ourselves, and to listen more closely to what is being asked of us at this time of unprecedented global transformation."
"It's not about uniformity. It's not about making the world one type of culture. This would mean doing away with many cultures, many forms of manifestations of a relationship with nature. Instead, what different cultures are looking for, is a way to maintain their diversity while contributing to and helping each other including our peculiarities and diversity to create a society that respects diversity so that we can live in a world of great culture richness with different forms of relationships with nature, with the great spirit of life. It is the richness that we don't want to lose. It's dangerous to search for unity when diversity ends."
-Don Alverto Taxo
Elemental
"Elemental is a documentary, currently in post-production, that follows three iconoclasts who are obsessed with nature and driven by a deep desire to change the status quo. One of them is Rajendra Singh, an Indian government official gone rogue, who has mounted a national crusade to save the Ganges River. During a 33-day shoot, we traveled down the river with Singh—from the glacial source in the Himalayas to where it meets the sea in the Bay of Bengal. Watch the trailer for Elemental here."

The Red Market
"In his new book, also called The Red Market, Carney explores the shadowy but lucrative global marketplace for blood, bones and organs."

How very morbid
