TBWA Mexico 2008-03-31 09:32:00 "Stop Global Warming Before It's Too Late"Nice ad from TBWA Mexico
for pro natura. Really nice ad and definitely effective, I think the bear version is much more effective than the jaguar. Just because when I think of global warming I think of the polar ice caps melting.
Cork Underlay Ladder 2008-04-04 15:33:00 Break with the usual serving accessories and experience the fun & functional cork ladder for pots. The interlocking cork pieces remind of railroad tracks and can be configured in a myriad of ways. Gorgeous for all occasions, from your casual lunch with a friend to fancy dinner. Just awesome and a fantastically unique way to server dinner. Get it over at matteria for about $60, I don't know the conversion from pounds to dollars all that well.via treehugger

iPod Nano Belt 2008-04-04 14:17:00 This belt has two things going for it that qualifies it for awesome status: it holds an ipod and it's white. Made of polyurethane leather, the buckle has a headphone port so you can listen to your pod while strutting through the halls of your high school, or workplace. And nothing gives you more swagger than slouching outside the break room clutching your buckle, when really all you're doing is turning up the volume on Norah Jones. Get it whenever it comes back in stock over at amazon for $33.via productdose

CONAC 2008-04-03 11:27:00 "Smoking isn't just suicide. It's murder."Very nice, effective, and powerful ads from advertising agency Draftfcb + IDB and creative director Rodrigo Gómez. These are for the Chilean Corporation Against Cancer, what do you think did they go to far in these ads. Are the images just a little bit to brutal, was there a better way to get this message across, leave your thoughts in the comments.
Comics Museum 2008-04-03 11:19:00 "Comics
are art. Just funnier."Fun little ads from the advertising agency JWT out of Milan, Italy and creative director Pietro Maestri. I like the ads, they are nice, and I do agree that some comics do turn out to be art, but is funnier a word?

Faber Castell 2008-04-02 19:54:00 Very clever little ads from the advertising agency Grey Chile and creative director Patricio Navarrete. I just really like the idea of a reverse highlighter that removes everything from the page but what you want to see.
Mario Mandala 2008-04-08 14:11:00 Psychiatrist Carl Jung saw the mandala as “a representation of the unconscious self,” and believed his paintings of mandalas enabled him to identify emotional states and disorders and work towards wholeness in personality. For Jung, this identification of the id, and its transience, was a fundamental tool in his understanding of personality. Dynamically, this volume of Mario
-mandalas goes beyond a passive recognition of the intricate mandala designs, leading readers to develop their own interpretation of their personality and contribute towards the entity of the mandala form. Once a mandala has been coloured in it can be detached from the book, as each becomes a unique work of art that has been created in their own design, the final mandala is thus a creation of personal interactio

Attack Of The Mole People 2008-04-08 08:03:00 I love this new Threadless t-shirt from designer Sam Schuna. Oh wouldn't it be horrible if all of our old school games came back to get us. I mean seriously the ghosts in Pacman were super scary, I would never want to meet them in a dark alley.
Rube Goldberg 2008-04-08 07:50:00 I want to send out congratulations to my alma mater Purdue University on winning the 21st annual national Rube Goldberg
Machine Contest. This is Purdue's third win in the last 4 years. This years task was to assemble a hamburger consisting of no less than one precooked meat patty, two vegetables and two condiments, sandwiched between two bun halves. The 17-member Purdue team used 156 steps in its machine, which had a global travel theme. The machine's journey started at Purdue and continued around the world to England, France, Germany, China, Mexico and ended back at a tailgating party at Purdue, where the hamburger was made.via purduenews

Kevin Webster 2008-04-09 08:02:00 KevinWebster
is a recently graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design, SCAD. He has been working a very ambitious motion graphic installation for over a year. Kevin’s project, metacosm, is a mix of generative art and motion graphics. Here is what Kevin has to say about his absolutely fantastic work: "We often take for granted the amazing and wonderful forces of this world, forces that are at work all around us. The graceful journey of a bird’s flight is one of the most amazing natural phenomena. The metacosm project explores the beauty of that graceful journey using color and shape to produce a detailed record of flight. The metacosm project is a system that simulates the flight of a bird. Nearly every aspect of the simulation is randomly chosen from a limited pool o

Bad Bad Leroy 2008-04-12 14:33:00 Yeah we got to see a fire dancer, his name was bad bad leroy. I'm not sure if his last name was brown, but he was the baddest man in the whole damn down. This guy was a bit crazy he was rubbing the fire on his arms and legs, and at the end he was spinning his little fire sticks and one got away from him and almost hit some lady square in the head. It was pretty sweet though.

Shackleton 2008-04-20 20:16:00 Morbidly good art direction and design from the Advertising Agency Shackleton out of Madrid, Spain. I love these ads I've never seen product "displayed" in this manner, I'm sure these will turn off some people but the photography and art direction is so good, I think they are great.
Mercury 2008-04-20 20:04:00 A ceiling fixture that places a floating assembly of large pebbles below a simple modern aluminum disc. These in turn reflect each other bouncing light between their taught bio-morphic surfaces and reflecting the environment around them. During the day the piece acts as a sculptural object reflecting the dynamics of natural light and the movement of people around them. Designed by Ross Lovegrove and manufactured by Artemide get it over at madeindesign.

Dust Furniture 2008-04-22 13:03:00 Very fun furniture from craft artist Vincent Thomas Leman, I would love to see this in a kids room, it would make that room so very Alice in wonderland.Dust Furniture

He strives to create furniture that is functional to the degree that it may be successfully integrated into daily life, yet--equally important--provides a spark to brighten the routine of daily life. He finds joy in discovering new ways to mix art and life, and to make it accessible. Vincent's work has been descr
