Mint chip
experimentation with photoshop
radically overusing the outer glow with a ton of noise gives this gritty affect
something so satisfying about the immediacy on the monitor
instead of waiting for a painting to form...

The Mouth-Watering Edible Coffee Cup
The Mouth-Watering Edible Coffee Cup:
Drinking Coffee in a daily routine has become a part of our daily routine. Drinking our favorite coffee on a good day is just like carving out a little slice of heaven and taking it in. This coffee tastes even better when drank with someone special. Now there are people who own a special cup for their coffee and they prefer to drink coffee in that cup.
And then there’s this strange idea came into the mind of a Venezuelan designer Enrique Luis Sardi. The idea is of edible coffee cup. This cookie cup not only won the heart of thousands of coffee lovers but also won special awards of ecology. It really looks tasty.

Pacific Ocean Trash Cleans Up Nice As Method’s New Soap Bottle
Pacific Ocean Trash Cleans Up Nice As Method’s New Soap Bottle:
For years environmentalists have wondered why someone doesn’t do something about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Now, it appears Method, a sustainable cleaning products company, has jumped into the challenge with both feet. Method’s new “Ocean Bottle” for hand and dish soap is made from bits of plastic litter found on Hawaiian beaches. Method has been making designer soap for years now, and it was way back in 2006 that they created their first 100 percent post-consumer recycled plastic bottle. Although many said the slowly degrading plastic swirling around in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch couldn’t been reused, Method refused to give up.

Everybody Loves Raymond Loewy, Including David Lynch, Who May Prefer to Call Him ‘Robert’
Everybody Loves Raymond Loewy, Including David Lynch, Who May Prefer to Call Him ‘Robert’:
American Spirit. Industrial designer Raymond Loewy with one of his designs, the Pennsylvania Railroad’s S1 steam locomotive; filmmaker and Loewy admirer David Lynch.
The late-night show of our dreams is hosted by David Lynch. What this theoretical program lacks in guests or commercials (you’ll recall how the filmmaker feels about product placement) it would make up for in good ‘ol fashioned variety: one night our distinctively coiffed host is screening The Seashell and the Clergyman or enthusing on his favorite hobby of chopping wood (especially pine) and the next he’s shooting on site in the dream forest at Club Silencio, the members-only Paris nightclub he designed. The Wall Street Journal recently caught up with Lynch in the penthouse suite of the Chauteau Marmont, where Steve Garbarino posed “20 Odd Questions” that covered topics ranging from his accessories (“I have a deep love for my Swatch watch.”) to his stint as a WSJ deliverperson back in the 1970s, when he was making Eraserhead.
In Lynch’s words, his L.A. paper route has all the makings of a haunting film. “I’d pick up my papers at 11:30 at night. I had throws that were particularly fantastic. There was one where I’d release the paper, which would soar with the speed of the car and slam into the front door of this building, triggering its lobby lights—a fantastic experience,” he says. “Another one I called ‘The Big Whale.’ There was a place, the Fish Shanty, on La Cienega. A big whale’s mouth was the front door you entered through. I’d throw a block before it, and hit the paper directly into the mouth.” Lynch is not inclined to fandom, preferring to get his kicks from a mix of coffee, transcendental meditation, and American Spirit cigarettes, but he does cop to a love for Loewy…Robert [sic] Loewy. The famed industrial designer usually goes by Raymond, but as far as we’re concerned, Lynch can call him whatever he wants. Meanwhile, the WSJ has corrected the error in its online edition.

Urban Origami Installations on the Streets of Hong Kong and Vietnam by Mademoiselle Maurice
Urban Origami Installations on the Streets of Hong Kong and Vietnam by Mademoiselle Maurice:
This summer French paper artist Mademoiselle Maurice (previously) took her unique style of urban origami installation to the streets of Hong Kong and Vietnam where she created some of the pieces shown here. To be clear, the hexagonal pieces above were created in Paris just prior to her trip to Asia which you can learn more about (plus see many more photos) on her website.

Shi Jindian: Steel Wire Sculptures
Shi Jindian: Steel Wire Sculptures:
There’s a strange juxtaposition in Chinese artist Shi Jindian’s steel wire sculptures. His subject matter tends to be, for the most part, solidly masculine with motorcycles and military vehicles as prime examples, but his delicate wire mesh sculptures make them look delicate and almost ethereal. Jindian’s pieces are reminiscent of Do Ho Suh’s work, but only in that they are light and translucent, the technique, oddly enough, is more comparable to Olek’s crocheted works. Shi Jindian learned, by trial and error, how to crochet the two-dimensional strands of wire into three-dimensional forms using tools of his own devising. His wire meshes start out as wrappings around common objects. When the mesh is complete, he destroys or extracts the object, leaving only its steel “shadow”. Each of the works takes years to make and is accurate to the smallest detail.

3D Font Sculptures
3D Font Sculptures:
These amazing 3D Font Sculptures were created by Toronto-based designer Brian Banton. Heterosis is a kinetic typeface, these unconventional 3D fonts are built with the help of elastic bands that run between two parallel plexiglass windows.
The artist made the fonts in such a creative way that by rotating a certain alphabet you will only see an abstract series of vector lines rather than the complete alphabet.
