Archive for December, 2009I’m not even going to try and name each of the 149 monsters, vampires, zombies and similarly-nefarious characters that inhabit this print from the Chop Shop. But if you’re feeling extra adventurous, I’d love to see someone do it. There are 17 rows that each include nine creatures, except the last one which has only five. Leave a comment if you know one, and we’ll start a little chart under the cut. The print is available to purchase ($55.00) here.
It’s a frivolous activity that rarely amounts to anything resembling what actually plays out. So with that being said, my New Year’s resolution is to make a New Year’s resolution. And, according to this handy generator, I will also resolve to carry a purse in twenty-ten. I can dig it. If you’ve made one, what’s your resolution this year? [Courtesy of TWBE]
Well what do we have here? It seems as if a bright human named Chakra Pennywhistle (*adds to list of possible fictional character handles*) has fashioned a wallet out of an old money bag. Very resourceful, especially considering it’s emblazoned with “The Best Bank of Las Vegas”; the one place on earth where money simultaneously means nothing and everything. The wallet, which includes a billfold and two card sections, is available to buy for $50.00. Designer Henriette Hyldgaard of Danish studio, Neon Living, makes fancy pillows, including the TV Cushion shown above ($60.00). Below we’ve included three more in versions of X-RAY, Forest and Mona Lisa. Check out her entire catalog here.
I don’t own any chairs. At least not the kind these “personality socks” are meant to decorate. One day I suppose purchasing a dining room table, and thus matching chairs, would be a logical life step. Until then, I personally have no use for these. But you might! They’re advertised as having the ability to transform seats into various stereotypes: snob, lady, small town boy or good girl. Just between the two of us, it’s actually one of my hidden aspirations to one day own snobbish chairs. Buy a set here for $20.00. [Courtesy of Neatorama]
Yeah, so this guy Mark Evans takes a knife and spends what must be a monotonous amount of time etching massive pieces of leather into rather impressive portraits of famous dudes, an ape, bulls and Winston Churchill (all shown below). But there’s no video evidence. Taking a picture of a guy holding a knife while standing next to what could just be a painting isn’t a very convincing argument. Sorry to be a cynic, but welcome to art in the 21st Century. Plus, his website includes a rather douchey schpeel about Evans being some sort of descendant of cavemen; that he was raised by wolves in the Arctic and eventually–because you know, it’s cold there–he froze in the ice. Later, he was discovered by geologists, thawed out, and sent into the world only to develop a deep, primal urge to cut shit with a knife. Now he “makes art” and “doesn’t do pseudo intellectual.” I’m serious, people. This is his persona.
Is this the future of fashion? Probably not. But the ability to decorate an article of clothing however one sees fit is definitely a game changing idea. Amsterdam-based duo, graphic designer Michiel Schuurman and stylist Berber Soepboer, are the masterminds behind the aptly titled, “Colour-In” dress. It comes shipped with a variety of brightly-colored textile markers, so you can start designing on the spot. While I doubt this should be considered an invention–as artsy and ambitious woman have been doing this for ages–Schuurman and Soepboer would be remiss not to mass produce this thing and charge a fifth of the price. Urban Outfitters would come begging for the rights. Initially they only produced fifty of the dresses, and at the time of post still have a handful left for sale ($350.00). [Via] White dudes rapping about their undying love for Mac products whilst channeling auto-tuner T-Pain in a NSFW (unless strippers inhabit your workplace) ode to Steve Jobs’ wardrobe might not be your idea of amusing. Nevertheless, after reading that previous sentence you might fancy checking it out. “I’m on a Mac” by the Pantless Knights feat. PC-Pain is the follow-up to their “Mac or PC” parody video of a couple years back. It’s funny in a sophomoric, we’re-all-laughing-at-you kind of way. [Courtesy of Mashable]
