not that most people wear cuff links all the time these days but just in case. like the creative aspect to it.
amazing, morbid artwork by kris kuksi
Posted on | June 4, 2009 | No Comments
check out these amazingly detailed sculptures done by kris kuksi. born in 1973 in springfield missouri. growing up in kansas he spent his youth in rural seclusion and isolation along with a blue-collar, working mother, two much-older brothers and an absent father. open country, sparse trees, and alcoholic stepfather, perhaps paved the way for an individual saturated in imagination and introversion. no shit!

really like the work done by fabien baron from baron & baron in new york. some of the work on his website is now almost a bit outdated but most stuff is pretty timeless and i like it as much now as when i saw it for the first time a few years back.

seems like there is always room for a little bit of creativity – even on the masks people wear against the swine flu. i like it, don’t let yourself down too much. you gotta stay positive these days.

check out these amazing topography images of japanese landscapes done by hajime ishikawa. think they are beautiful and poetic in a very simple and graphical way. i am amazed, not that i’d be into topography that much but i’d definitely hang these up on my walls.

LA glas tower
Posted on | April 24, 2009 | No Comments
“the glass tower by eric owen moss architects is posed to be encourage a re-development in south central los angeles. the building has been in planning since the nineties but was stalled for some years until it was re-designed in 2006 as a single tower. a rail line installed nearby spurred the redesign. the structure is part of the redevelopment of south central LA, an area plagued with poverty and violence for many years. the project was originally conceived of with a structural strategy, consisting of curvilinear ribbons wrapping two main volumes.”

keep on rockin’

came across an article about a rocking chair design competition and think these three are pretty damn cool, and not only for octuplet moms or those to be. would be nice for creatives as a comfortable office island to give birth to some rockin’ ideas.
sprint anthem
Posted on | April 8, 2009 | No Comments
pretty interesting sprint tv commercial and definitely a new look and feel that sprint offers us through their creative shop goodby silverstein & partners from san francisco.
it’s refreshing to see a nicely art directed and designed tv piece – doesn’t happen often. also like the sound design and voice over a lot.

there are still some things in print you can’t do in…

“Wallpaper* strives to keep its edge with guest eds and die-cuts
Print can still do lots of things you can’t do online, and one of the more striking and tactile techniques in the print designer’s armoury is die-cutting, writes John L. Walters. The October issue of Wallpaper*, out next Thursday (11 September), goes to town with some sculptural custom cuts – in a special sixteen-page section, and on one of the three alternative front covers. But they don’t appear to be the kind of gratuitous ‘paper porn’ you see in elaborate paper promotions, or in limited-edition laser-cut book art like Olafur Eliasson’s (admittedly rather beautiful) Your House. This is a mass-market mag with a print run of 200k, destined for your local newsagent.
We’ve not managed to get our hands on a copy yet, but these snaps show something of the way this labyrinth of die-cuts springs from the content provided by Zaha Hadid, one of three guest editors. (The other two are artist Louise Bourgeois and Comme des Garçons founder Rei Kawakubo.) Hadid’s reputation rested on two-dimensional work on paper (see ‘The architect as illustrator’ by Catherine Slessor, Eye no. 35 vol. 12) long before she built anything substantial, so it is no surprise to see her work in the medium of a magazine. (She contributed a limited edition cover to the May 2006 Wallpaper*, too.) The gatefold cover and cut pages represent Hadid’s Lotus, to be launched at the Venice Biennale next Friday (12 September).” via eye blog
