Hallo, spaceboy

There has been some rad stuff on the internets the past few days (they tend to stack up when you neglect to update your blog for a couple days...)

Anyway, get ready for some real cool shit.

First up, I just gotta post this because it blew my mindz. Erin of Design Crisis did a fantastic post today about rooms inspired by the mod artist Roy Lichtenstein. Click that big-ass link and feast with your eyes.



















Next up I am freaking LOVING this type treatment genius via Friends of Type. I think I first saw this yesterday and each time I brought it back up my heart palpitated a bit.














Now ya'll should check out this crazy technological-free-hand-sketch-created furniture, realized through rapid prototyping by Front design studio.



UM, WHAT?

That's it for now, ya'll. I'm ready for some R&R, and by that I mean tons of paper writing. YAY.

Too much, too much

Hello all!

I've been feeling very blah lately, but here's today's post.

I saw this over on design verb. So crazy and hazardous!



Also, again from design verb, this just BLEW MY MIND:



This made me laugh a bit. via notcot.




























Suck on THAT!

This is also cool, IMO. By Robert Samuel Hanson.



Later, y'all!

Once in awhile, when it's good - It'll feel like it should

Late post today, y'all. So late, in fact, that it's tomorrow already!

Here's what's up, foo:

Gecko Stickers. The raddest collection of wall decals I've seen yet. If I had my own place and some spare change, I would be ALL OVER THIS.











































Next, this is just badass.

Check out these cool mixed media prints!

You're the Sigmund Freud to my bat-sh!t crazy

Hello all,

There was some crazy good stuff storing up in my reader over the weekend, so get ready for some awesome posts this week!

First up is the Piano Stairs video, which I realize everyone has probably seen by now as it is taking over the blogosphere, but I figured I'd post it on here real quick before it becomes totally old news.



Next I'd like to inform you of this awesome giveaway!



















Scoot on over to love.obsess.inspire to see how to enter!

Next, I'd like to feature the art of Sakke Soini on the Behance network. I love this style of art, and this guy does it really well. Love the electronicats!

And finally, just because it's that enjoyable:

“i have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. or i can go mad by ricocheting in between.”

-Silvia Plath

Love that quote. Story of my [your] life.

Umm.... let's see, here.

First up is this cool typographic activity thing I've been seeing around the blogosphere, Bokeh Type. This entertained me for quite a while yesterday. (via designworklife)

Next is this photo. Not sure where it came from, but there's something about that guy that intrigues me to no end. He looks a little young, but I still wanna know him. Even if that makes me a cougar. (I'm more like a cougar cub.)





















It wasn't until after uploading the image that I got the "Dorian Gray" reference. Shows how easily distracted I am when it comes to pretty boys in top hats.

Next is Beardfolio, which made me happy in unexpected ways. I admire these men and their commitment to excessive facial hair.

Now check out some sick typography from typegoodness.

That's all, y'all! Have a good weekend!

Oh, why not?

Life can be a total d-bag sometimes, you know?

Anyway, here's what's up for today:

HELLO KITTY 35th ANNIVERSARY PROMO VIDEO!!!
It's cute, adorable, and satisfyingly Japanese. (via notcot)



Next is the portfolio of Michael Sanderson. He's created illustrations/advertisements for The New Yorker, Calvin Klein, and Marc Jacobs. Check out his portfolio! I think he's made some pretty unique stuff. (via designworklife)































*MICHAEL JACKSON SPOILER ALERT*

Ever wonder how he managed to lean at a gravitationally impossible 45-degree angle while dancing? Here's the youtube video where he performs it live ... it happens at 4:28 if you're don't want to sit through the whole video, even though it's awesome!



Check out how he did it over at boingboing.

That's all for today. Enjoy!

No words

Talk about genius

I discovered a BBC tv show today titled "Design for Life." It's the same setup as Project Runway or Design Star, only it's headed by world-renown, insanely proflific (and often criticized) designer Phillipe Starck. I definitely recommend heading over to his webpage and checking out all of his designs.

Below is the first episode of "Design for Life." Episodes are about an hour long, but just hearing Starck's philosophies, witnessing the egos, and watching those poor design students run around like chickens with their heads cut off entertains me to no end. I think it's brilliant, and it had me researching design schools in the UK. Maybe a future in product design has begun to read its head, who knows?

Next is a music video from Swedish indie pop band, The Sound of Arrows. This video is bizarre as all heck, but it's beautiful to look at.

Well, those should entertain you for at least 3 hours.

Have a good one!

These pretty boys all call you poison

Today's entry will feature "girly" things. Not because I'm feeling particularly girly today - it just kind of came together that way.

First up is this INSANE loft apartment in Brooklyn, via destiretoinspire. I don't know if I would live there, but I am totally into the chalkboard walls (super trendy right now, for some reason), the day-glo mirrors, and of course, the chandeliers!






























































I am wild 'n' crazy about that giant painting paired with the rustic beams, and don't get me started on the living room. Those glowing ottomans and that awesome bed/couch? And the lamp? Get outta here. Oh, by the way, there are apparently 12 chandeliers in the space. Niiiice.

Next is this cupcake. I want to devour it.































Finally, the art of Daniel Elegneus. The images are a pain to get from his site, so GO THERE. Ohhh my gaaaaah, his portfolio is mind-blowing. If there were an alternate reality where I could exist in the spaces he creates, I would so be there. The image below is from his series, "Italian Rooms." But make sure you take a gander at all the series!!! via love.obsess.inspire

A common mistake in life's race is to sprint

Hello all [one of you],

Just a random smattering today, since time is limited.

First, via design is mine, is one of ten images of inspiration from days of old.





















That one caught my eye particularly, but there's a great collection if you follow the link.

Next is this incredibly intense photo I found on nostalgie de la boue. I could stare at it for hours and invent a thousand stories in my head about what could precede and succeed this moment.

Next is some insanely rockin' interior design via desire to inspire. All I can say is I would have no complaints if my place looked like this.
















Check out the rest of the space and more by following the link.

I'm off to class to watch "Bringing Up Baby." Oh yeah, I like me some Cary Grant.

Too many corners in my mind

Today I'd like to feature an artist by the name of Manoli Lopez. She's from Barcelona, her art is amazing, and she has pretty good taste in music, from what I gathered on her blog.

I need to find a way to get a giant print of this for my place. Seriously, brilliant.

The other thing I'd like to showcase today is an amazing video by animator/illustrator Javier Cuello. The title translates to "the house in small cubes" - and you'll see the significance of the title. The video is so cute and charming, yet deeply touching and quite sad. It's also a great metaphor for life and the trials we face as humans. I encourage you to watch the whole thing (it runs about 12 minutes, but I enjoyed every moment.)
