This dentist business card design is so sweet it almost gives me a toothache. (Sorry, bad joke.) No really...it's sweeeet. I need to brush my teeth now. (Ok..no more jokes today.)
Love this simple bird pendant light from Perch! Hand-made, white glazed ceramic pendant light depicts a bird in flight. Light comes out of the bottom, wings, and back. Lovely!
One thing's for sure...this isn't your mom's Lladros. Barnaby Barford is an artist who works with ceramics to create modern stories that leave the viewer slightly disturbed. He enjoys taking figurines and turning them into sinister, sardonic but invariably humorous sculptures. His stories… Continue
Elsa Mora was inspired to create these funny flower creations after she found a need to "to stop and become like a child" to "rediscover the world" again as an adult. As we grow older it's easy to forget the sense of wonder we had we when were a child, when nature was asking us to come outside and play. Here's to never forgetting that creativity lives inside all of… Continue

Sigur Ros - Við spilum endalaust - A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.
I can't say that I'm a die hard Sigur Ros fan. Months ago I had a young, hip guy friend tell me about this Icelandic group and at that time I only listened to Sigur Ros just long enough to think that sounded like a prettier Bjork with a twist of Coldplay. After doing some… Continue

You're not going to find vampires and zombies in Phil Lumbang's work. In fact, this up and coming Los Angeles artist (and assistant to Shepard Fairey) only wants to create pieces that have a simple and sweet message. But don't think his work doesn't have depth, in fact, you can bet there's a hidden lesson about social change in there. Phil says about his polar bear piece, "The message is clear, a black bear plus a polar bear equals a panda bear and to… Continue

Truth be told, I'm a die hard internet junkie. Yes, I know that you've already guessed it...but me and the internet, well it's a mad love affair. That's why I'll only post on television shows or specials when I can honestly say that I can't wait to turn off my Mac (ok fine - put it in sleep mode).
Jim Gaffigan is one of those comedians who really cracks me… Continue
Is it me or does this kind of remind you of Royksopp's Happy Up Here video? Either way, this new ad from Honda gets my vote for cool because it's retro and modern at the same time. Plus I'm a sucker for smiley faces and hearts.
Basically, Honda parked a huge grid of cars in the desert and used the headlights as pixels.
