Last weekend I caught myself taking another randomly found mannequin photo while walking around the Fremont Sunday outdoor market (the top black and white image). Over time I’ve accumulated a few these mannequin shots, so I’ve decided to create a little Flickr photo set of them that I hope to expand upon. More beyond the [...]

I was just speaking to someone yesterday of the apparent fluidity and unlimited potential for the iPad/iPhone/eReader/mobile anything case sub-markets and then coincidentally, later in the evening stumbled upon this interesting company called ‘Grove Made’ who makes these nifty laser engraved bamboo iPhone cases. Pretty slick. I found this on one of my favorite posterous [...] I’m digging the above ‘record release show’ poster designed by Will Etling, lead singer of the fantastic California based band ‘The Deadly Syndrome’. Yesterday they released their new album called ‘Nolens Volens’. All wordy setup aside… it’s a super solid, thoughtful, nicely textured album and I have been listening to it almost daily for [...] I came across the above rendering by illustrator Cesc Grané this morning on Yayeveryday.com, it made me realize that I hadn’t seen or been very inspired by any recent toy designs lately. This ‘Raiki’ doll seems pretty interesting to me though. I really like the 3D rendering style and the colors chosen to create the world [...] I really enjoy the artwork of artist, skater and designer known as Haroshi. Having grown up a skater and a Super Mario Bros addict I naturally gravitate towards these works in a big way. Each iconic wall mural and piece of sculpture is created from recycled skateboard decks. Glued together, cut and shaped these decks [...] As a setup, or disclaimer for this post, I have discovered that for whatever reason I’m drawn in to older decrepit vehicles, especially vans and especially circa 1970s. I don’t know why. Seems others are as well, probably because we grew up with them. Filmaker and photographer Joe Stevens has pulled together a terrific collection [...] I came across designer Patrick Molnar’s video game console archive site called ‘Consollection.de’ and thought it was pretty fun, simply designed and interesting. Not only does it reveal a bunch of gaming systems that I had no idea existed, it also gives us a nice eye shot of console industrial design trends over the past [...] The classic Polaroid self-developing film camera is back with their soon to be released ‘One Pic1000′ instant camera. Since 2007 many loyal Polaroid enthusiasts have been hoping this re-launch would occur. The company plans to release multiple retro-chic designs and has even announced that pop star lady gaga will be the creative director for a [...] The whole nostalgic humorous ‘Christmas Sweater’ phenomenon is just a fun once a year holiday party garnish for most of us, for Holland’s Lars Holdhus it seems that he has taken this idea much further and has a huge collection of sweaters + an impressive site to view them all at. He’s also looking to [...] Cannondale has partnered with designer Wytze Van Mansum to produce this innovative new woman’s bicycle called the ‘Dutchess’. The most noticeable design enhancement is the crank system, breaking free from a traditional exposed sprocket this ‘integrated transmission’ system is concealed by the organic frame tubing and all gears live within the back hub. I’m sure [...] If you like pop-up books and horror stories, or just horrific things in general you’ll enjoy this quirky pop-up design by Don Vanone. The above vimeo video gives you a nice page by page preview of the book. You may want to turn off the volume or listen to some music while viewing b/c the [...] Robert Williams: Vans Vault x DQM from Jared Abe on Vimeo. Taking the idea of customizing shoes to a whole new level Vans & artist Robert Williams collaborate on a special art shoe release. The new shoe will release in extremely limited quantities (13 pairs) at The Tony Shafrazi Gallery, NYC. Hand-painted & hand-signed -> DQM [...] I’m not even sure where or how I found this site last weekend, but I saved it in my delicious bookmarks and discovered it today while browsing ideas for a good Friday post. Must have been a late find last Saturday evening… Regardless, Amsterdam based curator Max Akkerman founded ‘Maxalot Gallery’ and their web presence [...] Classic German camera design company Leica has come out with the M9 which will be replacing the now cult classic M8. The M9 will be selling for a cool 7K, not the most affordable camera on the planet but definitely one of the most desired. Any expert camera sales person will tell you that the [...] As I sit here waiting for the rain to blow over and for the pavement to dry a bit so that I can go on a bike ride, I’ve decided to dip into David Cooper’s bicycle collection on coopertechnica.com once again. This time we’re looking at an extremely rare French made 1958 Urago Bicycle crafted [...] |
In addition to showing my most recent Flickr photos here (left set of 6), I have decided to rotate my favorite Flickr contacts as well. This time showing photo thumbs from Simon Page's most interesting Flickriver (right set).
