Eye Candy part VII

stumbled upon this artist, Micca. and its reminescent of Egon Schiele, atleast for me, so it makes it an automatic fave. love the selective coloring, contour-esque lines, and the use of negative space on the pages. Its very fairy tale-sy. Enjoy!

Eye Candy part VI

Ever wonder what happens to those ol' shopping lists once you toss or lose them? Shopping Losts takes these half crumpled, chicken scratched up letters and creates beautiful typography based graphics on these. whoa. its totally the best and hottest thing I've seen all day. Enjoy!

Salute your Shorts!

scratch that! I mean, car? Looks like China is at it again. School children at Luolang Elementary are now saluting cars as they drive by.

Education officials promoted the saluting edict to reduce traffic accidents and teach children courtesy. Critics, who have posted thousands of negative comments about the policy on China’s electronic bulletin boards, beg to differ. “This is just pitiful,” wrote one in a post last year. Only inept officials would burden children with such a requirement rather than install speed bumps, others insisted.

1. miscellaneous culture - through a Linkedin request came across this UT grad's design site... totes bookmark worthy for inspiration

2. Architizer - beta version officially launched last week, and I have apparently been living under a rock! How did I miss this? It seems this is the new way for architects to connect across the globe. A Daily Dose is refering to it as 'the facebook' for architects, well... we'll see, but who doesn't need another work time distraction?

3. Nendo for the Moleskine Project - artist Nendo has simply cut the top edges of moleskines to create landscapes, his goal is to show sketches teetering on the edge of two and three dimensions...totally eye candy.

4. Gropius is falling down - it seems that not only did Chicago architect suffer a blow from the loss of the Olympic bid, but the Bauhaus designer, Walter Gropius, and his 1957 Friends of Convalence Home (read as hospital) was torn down. A sad sad day.

5. Princess Leia x2... sunbathing? - just so damn sexy!

Best Halloween Costume

and it wasn't mine, but I think its definitely worth making a mental note and putting aside of next year. Pop art come alive! (via)

Christopher Walken is Ga ga

ctm.

stumbled upon these great dorky mathematical jokes. Here are a few that just tickled me! enjoy! (via)

Why do mathematicians always confuse Halloween and Christmas?
Because 31 Oct = 25 Dec.
The humor lies in the fact that Halloween occurs on October 31 and Christmas occurs on December 25, thus equating "oct" in October and octal, and "dec" in December and decimal. (This one is also often attributed to computer scientists: Real programmers confuse Halloween and Christmas — because dec(25) = oct(31).)

It's about damn time!

I can't tell you how many times I have seen too many dumb posts (or just ones I don't agree with) on facebook, and what I wouldn't do to have a dislike button! Finally (according to Mashable) we will be getting our dislike button! woot woot! (via)

on stage

When my little brother was in kindergarten he stood with his class, in front of the entire school, holding a pumpkin. My mother stood in the back of the room with the other proud parents. The pumpkin fell from his hands and broke on the stage. Tim yelled, “fuckin’ pum’kin!” I wasn’t there but I remember it like I was. (via)

Playmate of the Year

Thank again Huffington Post, for another pointless, somewhat humorous post. It seems like MizMarge Simpson is posing for good ol' Heff.

It's a first for the magazine, which has had everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Cindy Crawford to the Girls of Hooters and even the likes of Jerry Seinfeld on the cover. But it's never had a cartoon character before. Marge and her pile of bright blue hair are set to grace the cover of the November issue of Playboy. It will hit the newsstands October 16.

Color Lovers (and Franklin) posted this great collection of prints done by Josh Brill. The Flora and Fauna prints are for sale (which I think I'm gonna have to pick up... once I get a job and steady income oc) and also have the color pallattes (think Kuler). Josh's work is definitely a keeper for the bookmarks, check it out! (via)

Fuck the Moon!

Ends up NASA and the Moon are having a beef... well... not really. They are gonna bomb the shit outta the moon in hopes to find water in the debris.

Though the Moon mostly a dry airless desert, they believe ice could be trapped in crater shadows near the south pole which never receive any sunlight. If so it could provide vital supplies for a manned moonbase.
Last year, British scientists identified regions where water might be found on the Moon and estimated that there could be enough to fill one of Europe's largest reservoirs. (via)

TOP 5 SEXIEST MEN... IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER (no.II)

Noel Fielding. Yes Yes Yes! He is the confuser (as he told Howard on the Mighty Boosh!), British, and has major crazy eyes (something necessary, you want a lil' crazy.. but not too much). Like Jemaine he has the dark scruffy hair, and is musical. The only down fall? I think he used to date Courtney Love and that's an example when the crazy eyes have gone to far. Check out his wonderful skit as Pete Sweet.

The Living Earth

This makes me feel very insignificant (thanks Kyle). I watched this for a good while before I had to turn away. I love the internets, but this really desensitizes me to human life.

check it out. The Living Earth.

I hate tweazing those bitches...

I do hate eyebrow upkeep, and that always makes me think, How important are they? well a recent study showed more important than I thought!

According to a study by Javid Sadr and his colleagues at MIT, eyebrows are a crucial part of facial identification. The behavioral neuroscientists discovered that faces without eyebrows are like land without landmarks. The study: Volunteers were asked to identify fifty famous faces, including that of former U.S. president Richard Nixon and actor Winona Ryder. The photos were digitally altered and shown either without eyebrows or without eyes. When celebrities lacked eyes, subjects could recognize them nearly 60 percent of the time. However, when celebrities lacked eyebrows, subjects recognized them only 46 percent of time.
