MORE great art from the likes of Brandi Milne. Kinda reminds me of the work from the guy who used to rent our house before us. Love the aged look too. Has a nice little interview too. Check them all here.

Convergence

Oh how I wish I could have been in Portland for this great exhibition of work from Kate Cleaves & Matt W. Moore. Really love the colours and randomness of these artworks.

Melbourne

I'm off to Melbourne in the morning - & by morning I mean wake up at 3.40am styles. Grrr, I better not get stuffed around by Pacific Blue. Will hopefully have a whole stack of rad photos to show off once back. Yay me.

Umm, wow - go Nikon!

12.1 Megapixel camera with wait for it, built in projector. How mega rad is that? You can now play your video's and show your photos up to a tiny 42" size on any surface. Wicked. Kinda like the rumoured iPod's with built in projector. Finger's crossed for that mos def, my grand daddy of an iPod is slowly dying & will most likely need a replacement soon, what better time when I can have a projector too! Oh yeah, check camera here.

Jose Antonio

Fantastic art by Jose Antonio. Great use of colours and I'm really digging the dripping, worn look to these. Check them here.

DIY Rotation Moulding

Great concept for a rotating moulding aid. Replicating a usually very expensive, industrial process. Remade using scrap materials & a power drill. Check it out here.

Creators Inn

What better place to stay while in Stockholm than the Creators Inn. Plus you can stay for free if you are creative... How bizzare. I'm sure that there is a long, long, long list of people wanting to stay here already. Super cool. View a few more pics here. And visit their website here.

Coffee Cup Art

Excellent drawings onto styrofoam coffee cups. By Boy Obsolete. Such an original idea, it would look so great to have a shelf along a whole wall with these lined up. Fantastic. I can imagine that it is quite a challenge drawing onto these cups too, very soft and unforgiving. View lots more here.

TasteSpotting

Great site here from Jean Aw, the maker of NotCot. So for all you foodies and food inspired folk out there, this will most likely become your next source of food related inspiration. Enjoy & indulge here.

Fundies?

Anyone for the ultimate in fun filled, action packed underwear to date? Well, Fundies is where it's at. Strangely enough I stumbled across this by doing a google search for a fried chicken box. Not too sure how this relates... Maybe you could throw some chicken in there, could be kind of like playing hot potato.

Go Blaine Fontana!

One of my favourite artists, Blaine Fontana has branched out and done something special. I have been seeing some of his wood working projects take shape over the past few months, and he has released this tiny little photo of his latest. I love the colour over wood grain and little trees are super super cool. I'd simply love to have this on my wall. I'm very jealous. If you can find out anymore information about these pieces, please let me know.

Wicked, the London Bape store has had an overhaul. I wish I was in London right now, I'd be right there soaking it all up, loving the shoe display especially, so clean and fantastic lighting. I'm jealous. Time for Bape NZ I think. View a couple more photos here.

He has come up against some struggles trying to turn her business venture into a money making scheme. She resists his attempts at profit and there is a potentially business expanding bombshell revealed. Read the article here.

Ryan Browning

I'm loving some of Ryan Browning's art at the moment. Great use of geometric shapes. I'd love to have one of these mega huge in my studio. Wicked. Check out more of his art here. And definitely have a good look through his sculpture section too.

Check this out - a truly amazing rebrand introduction video. If I had made this I would consider myself at the pinnacle of my creative life. If you look at one this on this blog it has to be this. Nothing more to say. Here it is. Watch the video nearer the bottom. It is INCREDIBLE!!!

Jennifer Maestre Pencil Art

Umm, wow.

She has been making these amazing sculptures for around 10 years now. I could stare at these all day & constantly be in awe... the accuracy & detail that is contained in all of these is very inspiring. Go buy 4000 pencils today. Go on...
View some more of her work here with a small interview.

Oh how much I want you...


Oh, to see a toy that makes me hurt so much inside, I know the likelyhood of me ever owning this is so so slim... Being released in very limited numbers, only as the San Diego Comic Convention... So not fair, this is guaranteed to be appearing on ebay shortly after the release for mega inflated prices that I will not pay out of principle. Oh how I wish I was going to SD.

On the upside, it's great to see some decent releases from Kidrobot, I've not been overly impressed with what has been coming out of their toy factory as of late.

Hungry...

When was the last time that you needed to have the EXACT portion of spaghetti with your dinner, no more, no less. Well with this being a frequent occurrence you will have to get your greasy little pasta mitts onto this guy. It works on the same shutter system as a camera, and we all know how well that works, so this has got to be king. Buy it here. Thanks to product designer Joseph Joseph.

Go Team Apple!

Mega wow here, Apple are rumored to be launching iPhones & iPod Touch with mini video projectors. So you will be able to shoot live video on your iPhone & share it on any surface.
