The Beauty of Dissolution

I have been fascinated and fantasizing about Detroit for months now. My first brush with this city was an inflight magazine traveling from Barcelona to New York. My eyes bulge, observing the details captured by a photographer's lens. The remains of a forgotten structure. Many passed not giving it a second thought. A place conforming to Detroit's skeletal community. Ever since, I have been intrigued and many have explored before me. This altered city will soon be a fab-U-lous vacation!  Photographs by Andrew Moore.

Pantone Home Paint

Another alternative to owning pantone books! This attractive packaging for home paint was the design of samy halim. I like the concept and would probably buy paint even if i don't need it, just for the cool packaging. Its recyclable after the paint is used. They are stackable and pleasing to look at it when stored in a garage, storage or closet space! As an artist, I could easily use these small pantone cans and mount them to a wall space to create a 3D pantone sculpture. Out with the pantone books and in with the mountable pantone swatches!

Whole Tree Design

I would love a home build with whole trees. The concept is to help save the destruction of more trees by creating an ecological system using trees that are no larger than 10 inches in diameter. These trees are removed from clients site or trees that have been downed by weather or disease. For 16 years, Roald Gundersun has been researching this technique of building homes to substain the environment. In my eyes, these homes have been transformed into beautiful ecological skeletal pieces of art. I am sure these homes smell treely rustic!

 

 

Couple Designers

The whole idea of wooden animals might not be an exciting thought. However, with such eye-catching packagings, these animal collections appeal as gifts. A whole collection would make nice ornaments for that Christmas tree of yours. Husband and wife team at enormouschampion are the creators. They are also made out of recycled materials. Simply beautiful!

 

 

9 months out of a Year Job!

After viewing the photography work of Brent Stirton, I wonder why I had not spent more time seeing the rest of the world. Photographing different countries and its inhabitants as a career might not be every photographer's dream job. The beauty of seeing these images, is experiencing what it is like being transported to a different time and place. Almost like stepping into a time-machine. Something I wish existed and own.

A Name to a Face...

Barcelona is a magnet for tourists. A bustling city known for its beaches and quaint bars. In the summer, the air is humid, the streets are insanely packed with human and motor traffic. When summer becomes a memory and Barcelona returns to its almost pristine state, you will find charming little streets, vintage cafes and at times, a mysterious someone sitting in a corner somewhere.

Temporary Earth Conscious Signs!

What a Fab idea! Using mud to create messages! What about urban mud painting instead of old school graffiti? This idea gets two thumbs up from me! Out with graffiti and in with mud painting!
