The Graffiti Research Lab has
a delightful video of their LED Throwies in action. I don't want to ruin this by analyzing it too much... but I can confidently say this project in some way or another combines nearly all of my major interests and joys.

"...THE SITE OF FABIO FEMINO', ONE OF THE FOREMOST ITALIAN EXPERT IN ASTRONAUTICS, FUTUROLOGY AND SCIENCE FICTION. THIS SITE, SUBDIVIDED IN VARIOUS SECTIONS, WILL MAKE YOU DISCOVER HOW IN THE XX CENTURY, AT THE TOP OF THE SPACE AND NUCLEAR AGE, THE FUTURE WAS IMAGINED BY WRITERS, SCIENTISTS AND ESPECIALLY ARTISTS..."Feminos collection is incredible! There has to be near 100 pages of content. Unfortunatley, the commentary and captions are in italian. No matter, since the illustrations here are so fantastic.

I submitted this to
Paper Forest, though since it has been posted there... I can't resist sharing
Taylor McKimens' work. A very literal feeling of walking into a cartoon.
Remote Controller Spiders
Spider for Cats
Spider for humansI would love to see how these guys handle!
I think the Neth Creatures have to be my favorite designer toys on the market. These things are gorgeous. They have great colors and shapes like many toys. Though the materials in Neth's case are totally unique.
The Neth families are..
Natural: stone and wood patterns
Brushed: painted patterns with loose human style brush strokes
Flora: minimal plant growth paintings
Neth's designer "
J," was also gracious enough to include
a photo album of concept and manufacturing prep work. For any design student, this is
fascinating.
Felice Varini's room and building paintings are pretty entertaining optical art. They are a true testament to how little we see. I think this could make for an excellent home paint job. Imagine seeing one shape from your desk, one from bed, couch, kitchen table, etc...
You have got to explore his site a bit to find the off perspectives. He has a huge collection of work archive. Including some lines that span giant buildings. Its pretty amazing.
