Weeks and weeks

Well folks,

I'm finally updating this dang thing. I know it LOOKS like I haven't updated in over a year, but I actually updated not-too-long ago, but deleted it because the post was a bit unprofessional. Now, it doesn't matter (as much) because I am FINALLY gainfully

employed! LET'S HAVE A PARTY.

You KNOW Elvis knew how to throw a good party.

I'd have a party on these glorious purple stairs:

Nevermind the danger. I'd tumble down and do a dance on that BALLER coffee table.

via the lovely Erin on design crisis.

I'd serve appetizers, like maybe some southwest eggrolls or some JELL-O shots on this table:

You'd eat off it, right? Me, too. I think I'd sleep on it.

via design-milk.

I'd be sure to invite David Bowie-Ben Franklin, because what would a party be without lightning bolts and C-Notes?

Lame, that's what. Also via design-milk.

Then, after the party, we'd have to have another, more chill party. Because nobody would want it to end.

Everybody loves sandwiches. (Me especially.) via nostalgie de la boue.

That's all, y'all!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND...

Was I out of my head, was I out of my mind?

Maybe. Get ready for a non-sensical blog post! (Do they ever really make sense?)

TEH KITTEHS! DEY STARE INTO UR SOUL!!!




















via modish.


Check out this Chatroulette speed-drawing!





This is legitimately bizzare. Francois Robert made sculptures (arrangements?) out of real human bone.

























































































via Pratt. Go see more!!


Finally, and chances are you may have seen these already, Balenciaga's architectural shoes. WOWZA!



















































I love the turquoise/wood ones. I'm not big on shoes in real life, but I like me some digital fabulousness.


Later! <3

Like a drifter I was born to walk alone

Hey all,

Sorry about the embarrassing hot-linking disaster yesterday. Let's forget that happened, shall we? (stillhaven'tlearnedmylesson...)

Cool stuff today!

Who wouldn't want to spend a few hours in a giant nest-bed!?!?




















I like this jewelry I saw over at design milk.








































Pretty cool, eh?

I'm planning all kind of fun DIY projects for when I'm out of school. Though I'm probably lying to myself thinking I'll have more free time - haha. I also need my own place where I can make neat things.

Finally, check out this Fluxus-inspired video some classmates made in my Electronic Arts class. Pretty cool, eh?


Lactose Intolerance from Ben Froese on Vimeo.


Have a good day, all!!

Ooh, girl!

Loved that sweet, sweet typography ever since I saw it over on friends of type.

More tomorrow, friends!

Some boys romance, some boys slow dance

Hi all!

I've got a few cool things to show y'all today.

Isn't this just a smart room? Look at that. Mmmhmm!





























via decor 8.

...HOLY CRAP LOOK AT THIS THING. A thing of beauty...































One day, when I have my own place, I will own something similar to this. I swear to it. via apartment therapy.

I bet I could throw a KILLER party at this place...
















Is that not a perfect party-deck? also via apartment therapy.


Next up, check out these crazy ribbon stairs. Terrifying, no?




























I'd be trippin' all over the place. via here.


Next up, this video kind of blew my mind. It just keeps getting cooler.

Sonar from Renaud Hallée on Vimeo.

That's all for today, folks! Have a good one!

Your beauty should stop traffic

Hello all!

I am exhausted and this sinus infection that won't die might be rearing its head again. *sigh*

Ok, so here's some stuff from The Selby, because it just never gets old and there's so much goodness I don't know what to do with myself.

Don't you just want to know this lady? She looks so ... brave?

Beautiful.



Mmk. Next up:

This bird video via all the mountains is just too cool.



















Then, speaking of birds, check out these AWESOME bird houses from neat nests.

























































Finally, I WANT.

Brenda Houston makes some sweet lamps. I want a blue one. via design for mankind.


















That's all for day! Hope your Monday goes well...

Don't give me none of that

Would you eat this?


















I don't think I would.
















It's still pretty cool, though! Via design verb.

It's possible I've posted this video here before, but I came across it again and it's pretty freakin' sweet.

MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.

Imagine how much time that took. Whaaaaat?


Ok, I think this is a job well done. Very clever, and actually feasible. A masters student rebranded Playboy for an assignment. Check it out:









































































I think that could totally work, don't you? Then we could call Playboy "Bunnies" Playboy "Foxes" and it would make sense and everything! Personally, I think "The Girls Next Door" hasn't done much to help the brand, and it's definitely not seen as the "classy" alternative in the porno realm anymore. Maybe Hef should hire this guy and revamp the brand, eh?

That's all for today! <3

I won't waste your time with my revelation

Wow, have I been a lazy bum in the blogosphere. Last week was a busy one, and quite complicated if I do say so myself. But for once, not because of my own doing.

So there's lots of cool stuff to show you today!

First I'd like to show you some work by Seth Rieder.

This one is my favorite:


































I failed to see the connection with his other pieces, but I like them, especially the Texatonka series.

























Next up, this video by Brooklyn-based photographer Rob Carter. This guy's got some crazy-good work, for real.


Metropolis by Rob Carter - Last 3 minutes from Rob Carter on Vimeo.





































































DEFINITELY follow the link to his portfolio and check out his photography. Amazing! via okay great.


Next up, this is TONS O FUN - a quiz to test how well you're familiar with popular brands! from the folks over at Vyre and via Brand New.













That's all for today, y'all!

I'm Irish every day - how about you?

Oh, St. Patrick's day... a big occasion here at Michigan State. There's a LOT of green on campus today, and I'm sure the streets will be flowing with green vomit by night's end.

And since we could all use a reminder about what St. Patrick's day is really about (crackheads and ancient leprechaun flutes made from PVC pipe)...




First up, this hand-drawn type from friends of type has me cracking up and nodding my head in so much agreement:































Honest to goodness, if this were a t-shirt I'd be buying it up and wearing it in a heartbeat. Too funny.


I've been saving this for a while, but I guess I'll finally post it. I really dig Jamie Tao's art. Who knew a pen and some graphic paper could get you so far? Oh, and talent.

I just happened across the Etsy shop Seven Ply, where they offer designs from recycled skateboards! What an interesting idea. Look at all the interesting stuff.


Earrings!
















































Mustache necklace!



































Dino-necklace!




























And what great product photos, eh? If I happen across some extra cash, I'll be looking into making a purchase.


Well, that's all for now! Have a super-drunken St. Patrick's day, all!

Turn my stupid question marks into simple candy canes

Hiiiiiii!

First I'd like to apologize for neglecting y'all while I was on Spring Break. I tried to update, I swear, but I was on Chrome and it's a bitch to upload pics with it. Try it sometime. Anyway, I tried for like 5 seconds and gave up. Boooo.

First up is this crazy video from Pleix films. They have some truly bizarre videos on there, but this was my favorite. E-Baby and Pleix Blog were some other cool ones. via design crisis.

I thought this was too cool:

I am all about incorporating tree motifs into interior design - especially something this cool! Things like this house in Austin, TX, however, I do not want:




















Erin over at design crisis had the
pleasurehorror of touring this house last November.

"There is a TREE in the middle of the house — in the kitchen, for goodness sake, which is somehow even more offensive... Whoever built this patchwork piece of shit house built it out of plywood, cardboard and duct tape. The roof leaked all around the hole where the tree is, and a foundation was laid over the tree roots. Not good planning.

Plus it looks like sandworms from Beetlejuice are attacking the exterior of the home, and nobody wants that."

Hopefully some DIY-crazed lumberjack happens across that house and helps get its shit together. His darling, yet no-nonsense wife can redecorate and make it shabby-chic! Dunno what they're gonna do about the poltergeists, though. Maybe they will be very religious people and can perform an exorcism!

Yeeeaaahh! Man oh man, that post cracks me up EVERY SINGLE TIME. Click here to check it out!


This blog, Facedowns, is cracking me up.










Also, this shirt is just cracking me up:

So how was that for a blog post? Pretty adequate, I'd say. Yesssss.

Later!
