Today is “men’s day“. And the streets of rural Germany are full of thirsty chariots venturing for epic quests like defeating a second case before noon while riding a decorated bike. (Not that Germans needed an official day to get drunk.) Recent evidence now reveals that all gear needed for such endeavours is in fact [...]

German website zufallsshirt.de (translates random shirt) generates completely random shirt messages combined with a random illustration in a random color & font. Once a combination of these design elements is generated it will never be seen again – apparently [...]

EDIBLE PEN

Saturday, April 16, 2011

With my pen-chewing-plastic-addiction this could be the answer – the edible pen.  Dave Hakkens has developed an edible pen that is made out of 22 pieces of sugary candy (similar to those in candy necklaces).

THE IMPOSSIBLE RETURN OF POLAROID

Tuesday, February 8, 2011

A MISTRESS, NOT A WIFE

Friday, February 4, 2011

Now you can buy the sheet of tattoos that came with the Nov/Dec 2007 Believer Art Issue all by themselves. “Your temporary tattoo is just like a permanent tattoo, only temporary.

FOUND PHOTOGRAPHS

Friday, January 7, 2011

The new found- photographs calendar collection for 2011 has recently been released.
“A picture needs memories to be an image. These photos were either lost, forgotten or thrown away. The images now are nameless, without connection to the people they show, or the photographer who took them.  found-photographs.com wants to be the home for lost photos – [...]
