Small and Stylish

I wasn't even looking for house porn when I stumbled across these images of the NYC (I think) apartment of Jane Mount. She had me at the chandelier . . . and the repurposed card holder . . . and the elegant use of chalkboard paint in the kitchen . . . Hmmm, wonder how I can convince her to invite me over?

GizmoAve - Once the mere dream of a madman, the concept of the jetpack really first took off when Sean Connery was hovering around with one in the movie Thunderball back in 1965.

Until now!



This is the Martin… Continue

Expression Through the Human Canvas - Kim Joon: Seoul, Korea

For Korean born artist Kim Joon, the human body not only exists as physical matter, it is a medium for inner expression. Tattoos on the surface represent an individuals traditions and culture engraved within. It's amazing how he uses the human body as a canvas and creates an awesome 3D effect.

A Super Rad (But Fake) Ad Campaign That Uses Transparent Billboards for Sony PSP

I'm filing this under super cool. So the guys at Sony weren't clever enough to make this up but at least we can all enjoy it for what it is. I love it when they take a pretty simple concept and marry it with the outside surroundings. Throw in a little fantasy or absurdity and you have a kick-ass campaign. Too bad it's fake. Someone call the Sony guys and tell them to hire… Continue
