If Harry Potter was a classic Penguin book. I think I might finally buy and read these if they looked like this. So cool!

All Streets
An image of 26 million individual road segments. No other features (such as outlines or geographic features) have been added to this image, however they emerge as roads avoid mountains, and sparse areas convey low population.

Toshiba Timesculpture



I just bought a new TV and its probably a good thing I didn't see this before I went shopping because this work of art makes me want a Toshiba. Well, it makes me want to know how they did that at least. We are in luck, they show us here.

Nau is Back

Nau is Back
Looking for the outdoor athlete, the fashion-conscious creative, and the modern activist. Nau, an organic design driven clothing company, relaunched OCT 21st.

Nau was originally launched in 2007 but quickly went belly-up due to numerous reasons. Read the full article here.

The second time around will hopefully be better for this Eco friendly small business with big ideas. Nau is an apparel outfitter that believes in beauty, sustainability and performance. And unlike GAP (RED), 2% of all sales goes back to a charity of your choice.

Not a Cough in a Carload

Not a Cough in a Carload
In the pilot of AMC’s hit drama Mad Men, the ad men of Cooper-Sterling are challenged with designing a campaign for Lucky Strike cigarettes while ignoring a fact that was becoming clearer by the day: Smoking kills. In the show, it was 1960. In real life, the evidence connecting smoking to lung cancer had been piling up over the previous decade—eventually prompting the Surgeon General Luther Terry to urge smokers to quit in 1964.

Read the full article from Good: Ads from the Edge

Use the link below to view the ads which are at times so ignorant but hilarious.

Photographs by Cali

Photographs by Cali
These online images don't do the actual finished pieces justice but they really stood out to me when I was at the Plaza Art Fair in Kansas City this weekend.

Cali Hobgood-Lemme makes hand-colored(painted) black and white photographs.  Her current body of work incorporates objects from everyday life.  She says, “Right now I think my pieces have the essence of a stage set;  isolating these everyday items gives them an iconic nature that moves the images from the everyday to a moment from our lives.”

I talked to Cali for a good 30 min and was really impressed by her technique and skill quality. I might even head back to purchase one myself.

ISO50
Right now I am really into the 50s-70s design styles. I don't know if this influence is a good thing or not considering the current culture. I don't even know if its a trend or style I should work with but I love the modern design. This Obama print is beautiful and the article about  it is pretty interesting.
