Lolo Knits with Marzipan

YouTube Preview Image

An artist/cook/crafts person by the name of Lauren (a.k.a. Lolo) , knits scarves and sweaters with marzipan. She was a guest on Martha Stewart’s show, which you can see in the video above. Also you can view more photos of food and knitted goodies here and at her website VeganYumYum.

Notes from Lolo’s bio at VeganYumYum:

I’ve always enjoyed cooking, and when I went vegan four years ago the kitchen became my favorite room in the house. I love experimenting with all sorts of food. Except for beets. And garlic. And pretty much anything that has been pickled. But hey! We all have our weird preference and dislikes, right?

Lennon Anniversary 80-08 - Gun Crime Victim T Shirt Campaign

 

This post coincides with the anniversary of John Lennon’s death on Monday 08th of December and we hope to highlight the growing problem of gun crime on Merseyside through the use of a global icon and local hero, who himself was a victim of gun crime.

We hope the link between this tragic loss of talent and local hero communicates the message of how much damage guns can do, not just to the individuals lost, but to the families and communities in which gun crime is so prominent. We chose the T-Shirt as it is an accessible format for individuals to express their opinion or thoughts on this subject by using their individual T-Shirt to make a positive statement either against gun crime or promoting peace within their local communities.

If you are interested in being involved, backing or promoting this project in anyway please contact Framedink via the Comments box.

The Power of the Human Mind

I once read an article about typos, and how you can switch letters in a word, but by keeping the first and last letter accurate, you can read full texts. This is a clear example of that.

Chair-Sofa, A Stream of Light

Notes from the creator of this chair-sofa, Olivia Lee:

A Stream of Light is a reinterpretation of the classic sofa. It is based on a brief set by Vitra to produce a piece of furniture that is unencumbered by commercial constraints and takes inspiration from the latest Vitra Edition. This work was done in collaboration with good friend and colleague, Alienor de Chambrier

A Stream of Light will be in-book and has been nominated for the D&AD Student Awards 2008.

Art on Electrical Boxes

Notes from Pretty Cool Things:

Artist has created a series of public art projects in Los Angeles, in which he places digitally printed adhesive vinyl on urban eyesores, such as electrical boxes. The graphics depict the scene that’s hidden behind the object, effectively “cloaking” the subject. The vinyl is permanently affixed and coated with a special chemical to prevent the occurrence of another urban eyesore, graffiti.

View art on circuit boxes.

The Bizzare Photography of Phillip Toledano

A quote by the artist:

I believe that everything should start with an idea, whether it be a single image, or a series. I also believe that a photograph should be like an unfinished sentence. There should be space for questions.
