All around my house there are blank white walls staring back at me, asking me when they'll get their colorful coat of paint. It's been over six years and though the wailing has turned to murmurs, I still can't help but think about it, day after day.
And so...when I saw that you could actually put up text on your walls I was overjoyed. Blik will take your… Continue

Here's a list of some of my favorite photographers. Each photographer possesses his own distinct style - a way of seeing the world in a unique light, angle, and composition. A strong sense of self emanates from behind the camera lens and projects itself into each and every photograph taken. Check 'em out.

What happens when your pen gets a mind of its own? Cartoonist Stephanie Piro shows us who's boss with this funny comic strip. It reads like a modern day fairy tale...you even get a happy ending! (Kinda.)…
What an interesting and unique process! Clement Meriguet (aka Le Môme Kéké) is a French artist who initially created this Mad Hatter piece with black and white clay. He photographed it and then digitally modified the photo, infusing color and life into this piece. I love how you can see the progression with the making-of photos.…
J. Tyler Helms created this great video by using edited footage from Albert Lamorisse's "La Ballon Rouge" (The Red Balloon), and music from Grizzly Bear's "Veckatimest". Why he called it Grizzly Bear "Two Weeks" I have no idea but I really like… Continue
This is HD super slow motion video of big wave surfer Dylan Longbottom in a 12 foot monster barrel - the first shots of their kind ever recorded. From the BBC show South Pacific.
Love these kinds of moments. When you capture something so beautiful, so awe-inspiring it could only come from… Continue
This is a beautiful film made by using 35,000 still photographs. Think about it, this was made entirely of still photographs not video. This allowed him to carefully choreograph every single frame and every transition with complete precision. I have not been able to find out much about Xavier and his work but I certainly hope he makes more beautiful videos like this one. A small amount of info is available… Continue

It's pretty impressive how Australian photographer and digital artist Alexia Sinclair is able to balance the beauty of fine art, history, and modern art techniques.

The way Italian designer Fabio Novembre set up this exhibition at the Triennale Design Museum in Milan is truly magnificent. As you walk inside, it's impossible not to be memorized by the enormous flower opening. Further in, mosaic-covered sections representing a flower separate each of his furniture designs, which are presented using illustrations, video and text.… Continue
What would happen if you took old school 80's video games and showed people what really happened? Pac-man doesn't just eat the ghosts, he actually tears right through him. Mario? He pops off mushroom's eyeballs with his angry stomp!
Steven Lefcourt is a designer who likes to push boundaries. His work brings back some old memories but… Continue

The guys at Atypyk take the iconic face of America’s first president to interesting artistic heights with the "One Dollar Project." With the $1 bill as their canvas, they give boring ole Georgie a crash course in pop culture with a much needed makeover. A great example of making the ordinary, extraordinary.…
There's something really refreshing about the artwork of Erin McCarty of Portland. Her colorful paintings exude a great deal of vibrance, artistic freedom, and life. I like how she doesn't keep her work "inside the box", but instead allows herself to untap what's going on in her subconscious.…
In his own words, Kurt Halsey's work is "Shy and quiet, yet expressive and charming, my paintings use a sweetness and an innocence to tell the stories of heartache, love, sorrow, regret, confusion, and fear that each of us realistically feels in certain situations. The joy of success and the worry of failing, the humor, quirks, and frustrations of day to day interactions within relationships, and the endless yearning for a story book love are… Continue

"This new program for municipal hazardous or special waste, often called 'household hazardous waste,' will help ensure that consumer products such as left over paints… Continue
With the concept of the Model as Muse exhibit at the Met in NYC in mind, I was really excited when I came across these shots of Gisele Bündchen by Norwegian photographer Solve Sundsbo. Remarkable!
